1005 Irving St NW, Washington, DC 20010

Welcome to 1005 Irving Street NW, a stunningly updated Columbia Heights rowhouse where thoughtful design, abundant light, and an unbeatable location come together across roughly 1,800 square feet of beautifully finished space. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by solid hardwood floors, an open kitchen-living-dining layout made equally for entertaining and for easy everyday living, and sunlight that pours in through a wall of south-facing windows, keeping the home glowing from morning straight through to evening. The main level flows effortlessly, with custom built-in bookcases framing the living and dining rooms and an open kitchen anchored by brand-new quartz countertops, updated appliances, and fresh porcelain tile at the entry. Upstairs delivers the layout everyone hopes for and rarely finds: three bedrooms and two beautifully renovated full bathrooms, with skylights overhead pouring in even more natural light. The serene primary suite offers a generous walk-in closet and a spa-like rain shower, while two-zone air conditioning keeps every floor perfectly comfortable through every season and solid hardwood runs throughout. Below the main living space, a fully separate in-law suite — with its own full kitchen, full bath, and bedroom — opens up possibilities most homes simply can't offer. Rent it long-term, list it on Airbnb, or keep it as a private haven for visiting family and friends. It's a rare combination of comfort and opportunity, making this home as sound an investment as it is a wonderful place to live. The current owners have poured years of care into this house, with extensive renovations touching nearly every surface and system. Brand-new bathrooms on the second floor and a new half bath on the main level, refinished floors, a rebuilt staircase with new banister, custom shelving throughout, all-new kitchen appliances and quartz countertops, new skylights, replaced HVAC, water heater, and washer/dryer, a lead service line swapped for copper, new windows throughout, a new slate-shingle roof and gutters at the front, a rebuilt back deck, a new electric fireplace, and fresh paint inside and out — this is a home that's been loved, updated, and made truly move-in ready. And then there's the location, which is simply hard to beat. You're one block from the shops, restaurants, and wine and beer gardens of 11th Street — Queen's English, Wonderland Ballroom, El Chucho, Red Rocks Pizza, Ulivo, Sonny’s, Doubles and the neighborhood's Michelin-recognized dining all just steps from your door. Walk to Odd Provisions or Whole Foods for groceries, stroll to two Metro stops with Columbia Heights just three blocks away, grab a Capital Bikeshare around the corner, and enjoy the nearby dog park and playground. This is DC living at its most convenient and most vibrant — rooted in one of the city's great historic neighborhoods, with parking, comfort, and everything you need right at the door. Homes like this don't wait.
