3000 Tilden St NW APT 503I, Washington, DC 20008

A one-of-a-kind masterpiece awaits its next fortunate owner. This peaceful oasis from the hectic pace of city life is the best home in all of Tilden Gardens! ---- Due to its top-floor location, this home features central air-conditioning. Because the building has an attic, the ductwork is discreetly concealed above the ceilings and does not affect the soaring nine foot ceilings found throughout. ----- As you enter the foyer, you’ll discover the finest finishes of any home. The walls have been custom painted with a faux-stone finish that is unique, elegant, and welcoming. A coat closet is on the side and an arched entry leads to the ante-foyer just beyond. ----- Sunlight fills this top floor home with two exposures and windows in every room - highlighting the beautiful original oak hardwood floors. ---- Off the entry, the dining room enchants you with a breath-taking, custom, hand-painted ceiling featuring an angel overlooking the dining table. One wall of the dining room boasts custom, lighted shelves for displaying art and fine china. ---- Conveniently, the wall between the dining room and kitchen was removed and allows for easy flow during parties or intimate dinners. The renovated kitchen features glistening granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a peninsula that allows for informal seating. ---- Decorative, custom panel moldings on the walls and intricate crown moldings greet you as you enter the living room. Anchored by a decorative fireplace with an elegant mantel, the living room is flooded with light from a triple window. ---- The primary bedroom suite is unique to the complex. The current owner negotiated with the building to add an en-suite, windowed half-bath off the primary suite! Through clever architectural design this primary suite features a large walk-in closet with organizers. The bedroom overlooks the quiet private gardens that are the namesake of the building. ---- The second bedroom is graciously sized and features thoughtfully designed built in bookcases and cabinetry. This bedroom also overlooks the quiet gardens. ----- The updated ceramic tile full bathroom has a window for natural light. ---- The beauty of this home is more than skin-deep. The building replaced all the windows in this home with new, double-paned, fully functional, sound-deadening, historically appropriate windows! Additionally, substantial, sound-deadening terracotta and plaster walls keep the home quiet. Original details include “Ritter” oak hardwood floors, original solid wood 6-panel doors with cut-glass knobs, mortise locksets & brass hardware and so much more. Conveniently, this home is in the main building of the Tilden Gardens complex and therefore has easy access to the front desk and package service.
