There’s curb appeal and then there’s pull-over-the-car-and-run-up-to-hug-the-house-appeal. This adorable (really, we cannot stress that word enough) house currently on the market in Capitol Hill is made for iced tea sippin’ and crossword puzzlin’. With ornate woodwork, a cheery bright yellow paint job, and classic black shutters, it’s a late Victorian dream.
So if you’ve ever fantasized about country life in the big city, get yourself over to this little gem in two shakes of a lamb’s tail.
