Charming top-floor, elegantly-finished, two bedroom condo with fireplace, balcony, and garage parking on calm, leafy street in elegant Kalorama Triangle. Unfurnished, available for year lease October 1. Perfect marriage of old and new: The architecturally distinguished condo occupies the entire top floor of an impeccably maintained, self-managed three-unit row house dating to 1905 on stately, tree-lined Ashmead Place. Lives like a house in the middle of the city: top floor, private staircase, through-floor, private balcony, wood-burning fireplace, garage parking. Refinished quarter-sawn oak floors, dentil molding, elegant millwork and moldings. 9-foot ceilings, dimmer switches, custom cherry solid wood cabinets, recessed lighting, granite counters, ample storage in finished attic. Expansive treetop views on all sides. Green Living: The apartment is bathed in natural light from beautifully restored windows (but energy-efficient with premium storms panels and screens) on three exposures and three skylights overhead. Green living with modern technology (new high-efficiency HVAC and appliances, insulation, dimmers, and high-CRI LEDs in the kitchen and bath) and historic building traditions (terrific passive cooling with the windows open and old-growth tree canopy in the summer, and passive solar heating and lighting in the summer months). Sunny covered porch perfect for growing herbs and vegetables. Walker's Paradise: The apartment is a quiet and luxurious retreat in the heart of of Washington's most exclusive neighborhood, the Kalorama Triangle, yet is just steps away from fine dining, shopping, and gyms in Adams Morgan and Dupont Circle. Parks and playgrounds everywhere: Kalorama, Mitchell, and Walter Pierce Parks, plus Dumbarton Oaks and easy access to Rock Creek Park. Safe, quiet, and calm neighborhood. In bounds for Oyster Adams Bilingual School. Commuter's Dream: Close to metro (Woodley Park, Dupont Circle - Red Line), and bus (H1, L1. 42/43) to for easy commuting to State Department, World Bank, etc. by public transportation or take Rock Creek Park to be in Northern Virginia in minutes.
