Beautifully positioned on a quiet, tree-lined corner in Foggy Bottom and within walking distance to West End and Georgetown, this three-story brick townhouse offers classic Washington elegance with abundant natural light throughout. The residence underwent a 1980s renovation, during which the addition honored the original 1880's structure while introducing a contemporary expression through the sculpted upper extension of the new façade. The work was overseen by Washington, D.C.–based architects Swaney/Kerns, with interior details thoughtfully executed by Antony Childs. Through the front Albert Paley-designed gates, the foyer unfolds with warm wood-paneled walls, a concealed closet, and striking double-height ceilings that guide you toward the first-level bedroom or multi-purposed family room. This expansive space showcases a custom media console, integrated shelving, a wet bar, and oversized windows framing peaceful views. Completing this level is an en-suite bathroom and a sauna, richly paneled in wood with soft ambient lighting to create a serene retreat. Ascending to the second level via a custom-designed staircase with warm wood treads and sculptural metal detailing, you are welcomed into an elegant and large scaled living room anchored by a fireplace and illuminated by bright skylights and high ceilings. The gourmet kitchen is appointed with premium stainless-steel appliances, including a gas range with a hood, double oven, extensive custom cabinetry, and large floor-to-ceiling windows. A refined dining room and an additional wet bar offer excellent flow for entertaining. French doors open to a private deck, ideal for grilling, morning coffee, or intimate al fresco dining. A powder room and laundry complete this level. The third level offers the tranquil primary suite, featuring a fireplace, built-in desk, and a private balcony overlooking the quiet streetscape. Nearly wrapped in windows, the space enjoys exceptional natural light. The suite includes a generous walk-in closet with extensive shelving, and the primary bathroom offers a skylit shower, deep soaking tub, and a longer marble countertop. Sited on a coveted residential block, 901 26th Street NW is moments from West End and Georgetown’s premier shopping and dining, the scenic Rock Creek Park trail, the Metro, and George Washington University; an unparalleled location blending historic character with modern urban convenience.
