THE PROPERTY
This elegant, historic (circa 1873) furnished townhouse apartment is located among other stately town-homes on a tree-lined street bordering on Blagden Alley and just 1/2 block from the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The property has a pedigree as the home of the first African American Senator to serve a full term in office, Senator Blanche Kelso Bruce of Mississippi.
Note that this is a fully furnished apartment (sorry the furniture can't be removed). At 1200 SF, this is a very large space for a 1 bedroom. It features a fully equipped kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, and a modern glass dining table with seating for 8. The living room has full windows facing South for lots of light in the living area, a 40" TV, and leather furniture including a fold out queen bed for visitors. The large bedroom has a queen bed, a work area in a windowed alcove, a sofa/bunk bed combination, a 40" TV, and a large walk-in closet with professional organizers. The full bath features bamboo walls and a tub/shower combination. A stacked washer dryer is in a hall closet. We have central heat and AC.
