Reputed to have been built by and for the National Cathedral, this one-of-a-kind home served as housing for clergy and faculty throughout the 20th century. Incredible original details, such as the fortress-style wooden front door complete with antique brass gargoyle knocker, meld beautifully with more modern updates including built-in closet systems, oversized European style patio doors, and Circa lighting throughout all four floors. You'll love the Carrera marble as well as the charm of original trim work and exposed brick cleverly and thoughtfully sprinkled about. The sellers installed three zone central air conditioning with smart thermostats, added circular concrete paver patio oasis, and completed the lower level au pair suite featuring gorgeous double barn doors, full bath, and kitchenette with oven. Like a project? Tweak the au pair suite to make it rentable space or add a bath to the already plumbed top floor.All these details are wrapped up in a storybook exterior with slate roof, complete with dedicated rear PARKING space and a location just far enough from Cathedral Commons and Mass Ave to make them convenient without being a bother.
