The updated bath showcases exposed brick, a clawfoot tub, and an automated skylight/vent for added light and ventilation. Major systems were thoughtfully updated in 2020, including the tankless water heater, combination washer/dryer, and Mitsubishi mini-split systems. Truly amazing fenced-in outdoor spaces in front and back perfect for entertaining, lounging, and pets. Just a few short blocks from pet-friendly congressional cemetery.
