Rare and wonderful opportunity to complete the restoration of a handsome and elegant townhouse C, 1845. Built by the Gaither Family in mid-19th Century, the house has undergone many recent improvements--the original floor plan has been restored; the main roof has been stripped and replaced; and mechanical systems have undergone partial updates. But there's still work to be done by a new owner with vision and sensitivity. A great deal of original detail remains in the house--crown moldings, plaster medallions, marble fireplaces. Glorious floor-to-ceiling windows bring in fabulous natural light infusing a warm glow throughout the interior. Small enclosed patio, large parking area; room to build a garage if desired (with proper permitting from city, etc.). Located in the heart of the Mt. Vernon Historic District, the property is convenient to the Walters Art Museum, the Peabody Conservatory, lots of chic restaurants and public transportation (including the MARC train to Washington, D. C. The property is a likely candidate for both city and state historic tax benefits. Property is sold in "As Is" condition. Central Air Conditioning on first floor only.
