Property Description
Inside, the home unfolds across multiple levels with a sense of volume and intention rarely found in row homes. High ceilings, exposed brick, and a dramatic floating staircase establish a bold architectural through line, while oversized windows, recently upgraded to premium custom black, noise-reducing installations throughout, flood the interiors with natural light. The layout is both expansive and flexible, with 3 bedrooms upstairs anchored by two primary bedroom suites on separate levels, offering a variety of living arrangements without compromise.
At the center of the home, the fully renovated kitchen (2024) delivers both form and function, featuring custom cabinetry, updated countertops, new lighting, and enhanced electrical for built-in appliances, all thoughtfully designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining. Additional recent improvements include updated appliances, refreshed fireplaces with accent detailing, new lighting elements, and thoughtfully enhanced storage throughout.
Outdoor spaces have been carefully reimagined to extend the living experience beyond the interior, with new hardscaping, front and rear walkways, added outdoor electrical, and a refreshed deck complete with privacy door, solar lighting, and landscaped front yard. Newly installed iron railings enhance both curb appeal and functionality, while the front bay window further elevates the home's exterior presence.
The lower level offers a fully self-contained two-bedroom residence with a separate entrance, private metering, and strong in-place rental income, currently leased through 2028. Thoughtfully improved with the addition of a second bedroom, expanded storage, and its own washer/dryer, this space provides exceptional flexibility for income, guests, or extended living arrangements.
Solar panels, installed in 2020, contribute to consistently low utility costs, complementing a well-maintained HVAC system and a series of meaningful system and infrastructure upgrades throughout the property.
Set on a quiet residential block just moments from Meridian Hill Park, Adams Morgan, the U Street corridor, multiple Metro options, and the dynamic restaurant scene along 11th Street, the location offers seamless access to some of the city's best dining, culture, and green space.
A rare opportunity to own a truly standout residence, substantial in scale, rich in character, and thoughtfully updated for the way people live today.
