Look Inside: $2.8M DC Rowhome Has Famous Former Resident
This six-bedroom home has all the trimmings, including history.
WASHINGTON, DC -- This huge six-bedroom rowhome has a $2.8 million price tag, not just because of its space and its location in Logan Circle, but also because it was once home to a famous poet: Georgia Douglas Johnson. Johnson, who died in 1966, is one of the earliest African-American female playwrights.
The home boasts stunning features and modern finishes throughout, so it certainly doesn't look like what it did back when she lived there.
It has six bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms over 3,635 square feet.
