Style meets function in this nearly net zero DC rowhome with a one-of-a kind floor plan! The owners took great care to make this all-electric home as energy efficient as possible, and no expense was spared. There are 12.95 kWs of OWNED solar panels on the roof which cover nearly 100% of daytime energy use and generate SRECs to offset the home’s energy needs at night or in low sun conditions. The home boasts efficient heat pump technology for the heat, A/C and hot water heating functions. The temperature inside the home is easier to maintain due to upgraded sprayed-in insulation sealing up every nook and cranny, as well as Energy Star rated casement windows throughout the home. The home also has an Aquasana reverse osmosis water filtering system for all water serving the main and second levels. This home is as visually stunning as it is energy efficient, strategically designed to draw in natural light on both the main and second levels. The main level is equally suited for posh entertaining or getting the family up and out on busy weekday mornings. Smart storage and organizational features have been built into all the levels of this home. The kitchen has the expected bells and whistles like sleek cabinets, stylish quartz counters, induction cooktop, soft-close doors/drawers, stainless appliances and great lighting. It also boasts surprise elements like a kitchen drawer outlet for concealed device charging, a remote-controlled cooktop exhaust fan/light, a Bosch Wi-Fi enabled refrigerator, a peg organization system inside many of the drawers, and drawer inserts for cutlery, flatware, spices, etc. Both the main and upper levels have blonde wide plank solid oak flooring, not the prefinished veneered flooring found in so many homes these days. The second level has 3 large bedrooms, two full bathrooms and an office with pocket doors. The primary suite can easily accommodate a king bed, has a walk-in closet and a luxurious bathroom with dual sink vanity, expansive shower and heated floor. Laundry is also conveniently found on this floor. The lower level is a separate unit. It has two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, but it can be further divided into two separate one bedroom suites depending on how the new owner desires to utilize the space. Each suite has its own kitchenette, laundry, on-demand hot water heater and climate control. The owners used one suite for a nanny and one suite for longer-term family guests. Check out the floor plan and virtual tours for a better understanding of the space. The home has a rear yard with parking, a Pennsylvania Blue flagstone patio, a gorgeous oak tree and a nice patch of grass. There is a community garden across the street, a playground across the alley and Rock Creek Park is only a few blocks away. This home is in the northern part of Columbia Heights, so it is close enough to 16th Street Heights to be calm and tranquil, yet it is equally close to numerous restaurants, bars, gyms, shops and grocery stores. Metro is about a .65 mile walk, with bus access at each end of the block on 13th and 14th Streets. This home was designed by the owners for themselves, not as a flip. The quality of the work, fixtures and finishes is evident when you walk through the home!
