Located 1.5 miles from the new NGA West Campus, this historic circa 1902 2.5 story single family brick home has an abundance of charm including original wood entry foyer, bench and staircase with stained glass window, and a built-in china cabinet adjacent to the kitchen. Hardwood floors cover most of the home, along with an elaborate original tiled hearth on the living room fireplace adds to the charm. Love the natural woodwork. And look, a “Pittsburgh Potty” in the cellar.
