On a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Bloomingdale, 68 R Street NW offers the scale, character, and livability that make the neighborhood so distinctive. Dating to 1894, the home has a direct connection to Bloomingdale’s early development, having been built for George N. Beale, whose family owned and developed much of the land that became the neighborhood. Inside, the spacious living room is anchored by an eye-catching wood-burning fireplace, a generous bay window for seating, classic moldings, and a graceful staircase. The living room flows naturally into the dining room, creating an inviting connection between the principal living spaces. A powder room is conveniently positioned between the dining room and kitchen, while the kitchen opens directly to the rear deck and off-street parking. The upper levels feature three bedrooms and two full baths, including an expansive primary suite with its own wood-burning fireplace and spacious walk-in closet. The lower level offers a separate income-earning rental unit with its own Certificate of Occupancy, bedroom, and full bath. In total, the home provides four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, along with outdoor space and parking. 68 R St NW puts you at the center of the Bloomingdale experience, with the neighborhood’s favorite gathering places, parks, and trail all close by. Big Bear Cafe is just a few houses away, with the Sunday farmers market nearby on R Street. The Red Hen, Crispus Attucks Park, and the Metropolitan Branch Trail are all within easy reach, while convenient access to North Capitol Street and I-395 connects you to the rest of the city and beyond.
