Originally built in 1885, this 5 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom rowhome was completely renovated in 2020 by Akseizer Residential. Located on a beautiful tree-lined street, known to be DC’s most photographed street, this home is convenient to the vibrant Dupont, Logan and U Street hot spots. This special residence blends historic charm and character with modern luxury and high-end finishes. The main level features custom herringbone floors, an open living room with a gas fireplace and custom built-ins, and a spacious dining area. The chef's kitchen is a showstopper with Pietra black marble, high end appliances including a Wolf 6-burner range and a floor-to-ceiling wine refrigerator. A wall of rear windows provides loads of natural light for the breakfast nook overlooking the private courtyard/secure off-street parking. The second level offers a generous primary suite with a gas fireplace, custom built-ins and luxurious bath. Bedroom #2 opens to a private balcony. The third level includes two additional spacious bedrooms with custom closets, a full marble bathroom with brass fixtures and access to the upper roof decks with unobstructed views of the Scottish Rite Temple. The lower level has a media/recreation room with a built-in entertainment wall, a fifth bedroom, a full marble bathroom, and a well-appointed laundry room. Easy to commute by foot or car to downtown DC, the White House, and several metro lines, this is city living at its finest!
