Property Description

Solid as a rock! Ahh…Experience the perfect blend of city convenience and neighborhood charm in this stately Victorian-style rowhome on a beautiful, tree-lined street. A welcoming front porch—perfect for a bistro table for two— leads into a slate-floored vestibule and a grand foyer hallway that sets a sophisticated tone for the entire property.

The main level boasts high ceilings, exposed brick walls, and classic wood floors. The sophisticated living room features a bright bay window and a gas fireplace with a deep mahogany mantel and built-in mirror over the mantel. Host guests in the spacious dining room, which seamlessly connects to the casual family room which can be open or closed off by a tall, solid wood pocket door.

Just past the convenient main-level powder room is the updated kitchen, waiting for your personal touches. Step outside to a massive rear deck—ideal for al fresco dining, entertaining, or outdoor play—with stairs leading down to a rare two-car garage for secure, off-street parking.

The first upper level features a luxurious primary suite complete with a front bay window sitting area, a second fireplace, a large walk-through closet, and a spacious ensuite bath with room to customize. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bath featuring a classic clawfoot tub. One bedroom has access to an amazing screened-in patio (this is where you would find me). A secondary rear staircase offers convenient direct access down to the kitchen.

Let's keep going! The second upper level conjures up so many options. Thoughtfully designed as a one-bedroom unit within the home. Wow your guests with their own retreat, perfect for an au pair suite, multi-generational living, or keep it for yourself. The impressive bedroom offers a front bay window with sitting area, two closets and a fun fireplace mantel, currently painted bright red. The nearby flex room has a skylight which brings remarkable light into the room. A full bath, kitchen with table space and skylight completes this level.

The fully finished lower level features another complete one-bedroom unit, showcasing a living/dining combo with a gas fireplace, a full kitchen, and an updated dual-entry bath—providing an incredible opportunity for separate family living or potential rental income (subject to proper zoning verification). Don't miss this rare, versatile city gem!

Convenient to Columbia Heights Metro Station, bus stops, shops and restaurants.

Whatever your needs are, make it work for you. Needs updating but so much potential.
