Soapstone Fireplace Surround

Traditional Living Room, DC Metro

As soon as you walk in the front door, this small sitting room off the right catches the eye. Custom woodwork and an eclectic selection of mismatched vintage hinges and knobs set the stage for an elegant soapstone fireplace surround. (Fun fact: the historic third fireplace in the home used to be in General Grant's home). This is one of only a handful of center hallway historic row homes in DC. Located near Eastern Market, this beautiful home was completely renovated last year. It had rented out to several students. The homeowners lived in a nearby house while a team of skilled craftsmen and niche contractors transformed the interior. Granite Grannies installed two kitchens, four bathrooms, a laundry room counter and two fireplaces. Except for two bathrooms, all the granite, marble, and soapstone was honed or leathered for a historic texture.
