A delightful dwelling with an unexpected past is available for rent in Washington, DC, at a newly lowered rate of $5,500 a month.

The 2,010-square-foot home has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. It comes fully furnished with “charming and unique finishes throughout,” including built-ins, exposed brick, and original beams, the listing notes.

This unique dwelling dates to the 1890s, when it was a repair shop for horse-drawn carriages. Later, it was used as an auto repair shop.

The home is tucked away in an alley.

The three bedrooms are upstairs.

Reports say a prior owner who renovated the home in the early 2000s used reclaimed materials from other historic renovation sites, including handrails, closet doors, radiators, and more.

The listing says the location is “unbeatable” and “this neighborhood has everything one desires,” including green space via Stanton Park, shops right around the corner, and access to public transit.

The property was initially listed for $5,700 a month. The listing is represented by Nomadic Real Estate.
