A Historic DC Row Home Renovation- Eastern Market

Traditional Living Room, DC Metro

The basement of the home is a separate apartment with a kitchen, fireplace, and bathroom. This fireplace surround was made from the same Leathered Kashmir Gold Granite as the basement kitchen (in the same room to the left of the photo). The floor is concrete. (Fun fact: the historic third fireplace in the home was once in General Grant's home). This is one of only a handful of center hallway historic row homes in DC. Located near Eastern Market, this beautiful home was completely renovated last year. It had rented out to several students. The homeowners lived in a nearby house while a team of skilled craftsmen and niche contractors transformed the interior. Granite Grannies installed two kitchens, four bathrooms, a laundry room counter and two fireplaces. Except for two bathrooms, all the granite, marble, and soapstone was honed or leathered for a historic texture.
