Description
Converted to residential living space in the early 1980's by architect...This historic property is tucked quietly right off Logan Circle and is available for rent for the first time in 12 years. The Louise Hand Laundry is a two unit light industrial building, originally built in 1908 as premiere hand laundry for Washington DC's esteemed citizens. From the dirty laundry of United States Presidents to foreign dignitaries and even tablecloth that once belonged to Napoleon have all been laundered here.
Converted to residential living space in the early 1980's by architect Robert Lewis and artist Stanford Shapiro. Soaring ceiling heights, dramatic windows, garage parking and flexible space make this a perfect place to call home. At 2000 square feet this dynamic space works just as easily for entertaining as is does work from home. Be a part of the legendary history of The Louise Hand Laundry, at once in the heart of Logan Circle and tucked quietly on a tree lined street, this is DC living at its best.
Included in the rental fee are costs for water, gas yard maintenance and snow removal. This is a no smoking and pet free property. Renter responsible for electric.
District law requires that a housing provider state that the housing provider will not refuse to rent a rental unit to a person because the person will provide the rental payment, in whole or in part, through a voucher for rental housing assistance provided by the District or federal government.
