Situated on the highly desirable 1400 block of Swann Street, this classic bay-front brick townhouse offers a rare opportunity to live in one of the city's premier residential enclaves. This iconic, tree-lined stretch captures the historic soul of Logan Circle while placing you in the absolute heart of the District’s most vibrant lifestyle. The location is unparalleled for those who value seamless urban living. You are just moments from top-tier dining, boutique shopping, and a constant hum of energy. With both the U Street and Dupont Circle Metro stations nearby, the entire city is within easy reach, though the neighborhood’s exceptional walkability means your favorite cafes and galleries are just around the corner. Inside, the home balances its historic charm with thoughtful, architect-driven modernization. The main level breaks the traditional rowhouse mold with an open layout anchored by a striking curved wall that creates an organic, sophisticated flow. At the center of the room, a Scandinavian Morso Squirrel wood-burning stove sits against a relined chimney, offering a cozy retreat from the city bustle. Meticulously stripped original doors and refinished hardwoods serve as a reminder of the home’s storied past. The upper level features two bright bedrooms and one and a half baths, with laundry conveniently located on the bedroom floor. Natural light pours through Maggio skylights and high-end Pella windows, while a mini-split HVAC system ensures modern comfort. Beyond the primary residence, the property offers incredible versatility and income potential. The basement features a separate, occupied rental apartment with its own laundry. Outside, the rear yard is a true sanctuary, featuring a privacy fence and a spacious wood deck. The infrastructure is already ahead of the curve: the area under the rear patio has been reinforced to support a future addition, and there is clear potential for off-street parking. With significant updates including a Fibertite roof system, new copper piping, and an upgraded electrical panel, 1420 Swann Street is a sturdy, sophisticated home that offers a sense of privacy and permanence in the center of it all.
