A gorgeous Mediterranean villa in Southeast D.C... with a secret in the basement.

Christine and John explore a gorgeous Mediterranean villa in Southeast D.C., where arched doorways, numerous windows, and a sunroom attached to the master bedroom provide openness and light. The real treasure, though, is hidden in the basement: the 5-bedroom house contains a once-functional speakeasy – complete with a stage, coatroom and an ice room – that you have to see to believe!
