The cheerfully renovated second-level bathroom features a spa shower with a custom-made glass enclosure and a luxurious heated towel rack. Granite steps, repurposed from the U.S. Capitol, add a touch of history to the kitchen-side entrance. Unique wrought iron handrails by Richmond metal artist Andrew White guide the transition, a bespoke artistic feature. Outside, the established garden, designed by DCA Landscape Architects, offers a lovely outdoor escape.
