This 1906 historic row home has been lovingly restored over 24 years and is a shining example of craftsmanship. The raised main level of this home provides a sense of extra privacy and solitude that is hard to replicate in the city. The house features the original, restored hardwood floors and a newel post on the staircase that was reclaimed from a mansion in Philadelphia. The light globe fixtures in the foyer & hallway half bath were reclaimed from a drug store that is over 100 years old. The seller also restored the chestnut & old growth Southern pine trim in the house back to its original unpainted beauty. The living room features a beautiful gas fireplace, large south facing Pella Architect Series wood windows, and exposed brick. Dimmers for the LED or incandescent recessed lighting have been added throughout the house, which allows you to tailor the lights to your mood and vibe. This home has 9’ 4” ceilings throughout the first floor and 9” ceilings on the 2nd floor, which gives you that airy historic feel. The dining room features a gorgeous brick wall and a George Nelson mid-century ceiling bubble lamp. Don’t miss the stunningly designed half bathroom on your way to the kitchen. The kitchen has been completely renovated with quartz countertops, white cabinets, an Italian Verona stainless steel gas stove, a Liebherr stainless steel refrigerator & beautifully restored pine hardwood floors. While the kitchen is new and modern, it also features original and period details like the exposed brick chimney & two hanging kitchen lights above the island, which are solid brass from a turn-of-the-century railroad station. The kitchen overlooks the urban oasis that is the backyard, and you couldn’t ask for a better view! One of the best features of this home is a true English basement with a studio in-law suite that has both front and rear access. The main studio features 8’ ceilings, a charming kitchen and a south facing window and glass door that drenches the room in natural light. Also included in the studio in-law suite is a large closet, a beautifully renovated full bathroom, and a back room with exposed brick that is perfect for a home office or lounge. This level also features a large laundry room and workshop. After a long day, you will love retiring to the upstairs level. The stairwell is adorned with a custom stained-glass skylight. The bedrooms in this home are spacious and feature elegant touches like custom lighting, restored hardwood flooring, exposed brick walls, large walk-in closets and a skylight in the rear bedroom. The sun-drenched front bedroom has a bump out where the turret is located and would make for a great reading nook! The full bathroom upstairs is spacious and elegantly updated. The serene backyard features both a deck and a separate fire pit area. The backyard has a peach tree (which produced over one hundred peaches in 2024), a blackberry bush and many other perennials that bloom year after year. The seller has installed subtle exterior lighting to help create that true urban oasis ambiance for backyard parties or just a quiet night in front of the roaring fire. There is also an outdoor dog-wash station! A custom-built, sliding wooden gate completely separates the two-car parking from the entertaining area and large garden. The 10’ commercial garage door provides two well lit, secure off-street parking spots. This home is a short walk to H St., Gallaudet University, Whole Foods & the booming Union Market District. Many DC's best restaurants are located nearby: Daru, Maketto, Minetta Tavern, Cynthia, & El Presidente. The Noma-Gallaudet metro stop is one mile from the house and you can get to Union Station easily via the free D. C. Streetcar for a long weekend getaway. This home is truly one-of-a-kind and close to everything!
