About 5123 8th St NW

Just reduced by $50,000, this is a rare opportunity to own a designer home with premium finishes and built-in rental potential at a significantly improved value. The main level boasts an open-concept layout flooded with natural light, wide-plank hardwood floors, and striking custom millwork that runs across all three levels of the home.
