The setting for intimate weddings and receptions. An elegant 1906 four-story townhouse with two floors for gracious entertaining. Our charm and ambiance create the perfect backdrop for wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, anniversaries and birthday parties. The house is located just off Massachusetts Avenue amidst Embassy Row. The interior is lavishly designed with period antiques and built-in bookshelves. Walking through the house, you experience a taste of richness and warmth.

The beautiful staircase with wooden handrails leads you to the second floor entertaining space. This floor boasts three adjoining rooms with hardwood floors, wood crown moldings, three fireplaces with tastefully designed hearths and mantels and three beautifully crafted balconies with French doors. The house is very spacious with 10" ceilings allowing for a lot of natural sunlight. The J. H. Cranford house was customed designed by one of the leading architects of the nineteenth century.

From the classic exterior to the magnificent inside, this house is truly a work of art.
