Washington DC Estate
Washington DC Estate
Usually I prefer a to see a house with the furniture in it but today's estate, located in Washington DC, is bare. Not just bare, it seems to have been scrubbed clean and given some sort of charmectomy. The walls are landlord white. Still the bones of this home are beautiful so let's just think of it as a blank slate. it was built in 1929 and has a stone Tudor exterior. Inside, there are six bedrooms, a wine cellar, billiard room, library and what they call a orangier (otherwise known as a conservatory). It is listed at $9.125 million. After the jump, some splashes of understated color, a few truckfuls of furniture and the work of a skilled decorator and this could be lovely.
