1606 Belmont St NW APT A, Washington, DC 20009

The townhouse has traditionally been regarded as a building typology that is efficient, although somehow less spacious than a detached house. This residence will readily challenge such an antiquated notion. Capably designed and well-oriented along an axis which affords plentiful natural light at all times of day from three sides. One can enjoy monument views from a generous south-facing balcony. The front of the house offers views of one of John Russell Pope’s most masterful works, and the location one block off 16th Street provides maximum convenience without the noise. A front hall opens onto a generous living space comprising the living room, with a working, wood-burning fireplace, as well as a contiguous dining area. This open format was designed to accommodate any number of furniture arrangements. The kitchen offers plentiful storage as well as a view onto Belmont Street. A powder room on this floor is a welcome convenience. The second floor offers two, well-proportioned bedrooms, the principal one of which has an ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom is currently being used as an office. A large hall bathroom is also located on this floor. Parking for two cars is included in this pet-friendly community.
