D.C. Rowhouse

When Courtney and Mike Green spotted a dilapidated, 1914 row house for sale in Washington D.C.’s Kalorama Triangle neighborhood back in 2017, they were fully aware of the challenges ahead if they wanted to call it home. The couple enlisted the help of Jeremiah Brent, the California interior designer and television personality who has built a career transforming high end homes, restaurants, and public spaces on both coasts. Brent is known for imbuing interiors with subtle intimacy and texture, without overshadowing the integrity of any residence’s architecture. Chez Green, an impressive three-story abode, is the case in point. A number of design points were added to the home as a nod to its history and architecture. An antique French fireplace with vintage tile at the firebox adds a stately presence to the living room, just as an antique limestone fireplace does the same in the primary bedroom. Elsewhere, custom architectural moldings frame a fluted plaster vestibule, while an antique marble vessel was wall-mounted to Roman clay walls in a powder room.
