Property Description
Spanning approximately 3,350 finished square feet across four levels, the residence offers exceptional scale, architectural presence, and rare income flexibility - all just 1.5 blocks to both 14th and 17th Street corridors.
The main home unfolds across three sunlit upper levels. A gracious entry atrium with skylight sets the tone, showcasing original staircase detailing, preserved hardwood floors, transoms, and period millwork. The elegant living room is anchored by a working fireplace and oversized windows, flowing seamlessly into a formal dining room distinguished by dramatic patio doors opening over a Romeo & Juliet balcony.
The kitchen renovation - designed by an actual professional chef!- is both refined and functional, featuring custom Mouser cabinetry, quartzite countertops, Thermador range and hood, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, KitchenAid appliances, and curated designer lighting. Every bathroom in the home was fully renovated in 2022 with custom cabinetry and elevated finishes, creating a cohesive, turnkey experience.
The upper levels offer remarkable flexibility with the rare opportunity for two potential primary suites, each thoughtfully designed with scale, light, and architectural presence.
The second floor is flooded with natural light and features two spacious bedrooms, including one that lives beautifully as a primary suite. The show-stopping bathroom is a true design moment—an incredible wet room anchored by a soaking tub set within a massive glass-enclosed shower, framed by a window that brings in soft natural light. Designer tile selections and elevated fixtures create a spa-level experience that feels both modern and timeless. Laundry is conveniently located on this level, seamlessly integrated for everyday ease.
The third floor offers a fully private primary retreat. This suite features a beautifully appointed en suite bath with double vanity, custom wood detailing, a large walk-in shower, and a massive custom walk-in closet. A fourth bedroom on this level provides exceptional flexibility—ideal as a primary lounge, office, studio, or additional sleeping space.
Architectural details elevate the entire experience, including a stunning built-in library overlooking the entry foyer below, creating a dramatic sense of openness and vertical connection throughout the home. A separately cooled wine room adds another rare and thoughtful amenity for collectors and entertainers alike.
Refined, flexible, and architecturally striking—these upper levels deliver both function and wow factor in equal measure.
The separately accessed lower-level apartment is fully renovated (2022) and legally permitted with a Certificate of Occupancy. Featuring its own kitchen, full bath, washer/dryer, separate electric meter, and both front and rear egress offering meaningful income or flexible guest accommodations.
The private rear patio leads to rare TWO CAR off-street PARKING with repaved surface (2025) and rear landscape lighting. The one-way block limits through traffic, enhancing privacy and charm, while still placing you moments from acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, Whole Foods, and Studio Theatre. This is a turnkey, historically rich yet thoroughly modernized Victorian - offering architectural integrity, investment upside, and an unbeatable location in the heart of DC.
