39 S St NW
Description
39 S Street NW perfectly marries classical architectural elements- with its exquisitely detailed brick facade, elegant iron stairs, classic interior proportions with high ceilings and fine woodwork throughout - with modern style to create a truly rare offering. The upper unit is a 2BR/2.5BA spanning nearly 1500 square feet on two levels and features brand new 6.5" white oak floors throughout. The living room enjoys incredible natural light from the oversized, bayfront windows as well as additional warmth and beauty from a gas fireplace framed elegantly by a carved wooden mantle. A generously sized dining room sits off the living room framed by two delicate arches leading to an expansive kitchen that was designed by an Assistant White House Chef (a former owner of the home) with dual focal points- a floor to ceiling brick fireplace with gas log insert and an impressive black and chrome Bertazoni Gas Range and Range Hood. A JennAir refrigerator, paneled Bosch dishwasher and incredible cabinetry and counter space round out this incredible chef's kitchen which also features a convenient powder room.
The upper level features a bright and beautiful, south-facing primary suite with a large walk through closet with custom shelving and a full sized washer/dryer. The primary bath boasts a quartz topped extended vanity with excellent storage, a tub and shower with subway tile to the ceiling and polished chrome fixtures throughout. The upper hallway is lit by an oversized skylight and modern globe pendant and leads to a second full bathroom and a back bedroom with multiple exposures.
The lower level unit of 39 S Street NW is a perfectly designed, legal one bedroom and one bath residence with a certificate of occupancy and an exceptional rental history. Full-sized windows across the bayfront provide wonderful southern light to the space which consists of a generously sized living room, an excellent open table space kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, including a slide in electric range with an exterior venting range hood. The full bath has a tub and shower and a full size washer/dryer in it and the rear bedroom has built-in shelving and accommodates a king-sized bed framed by wall sconces. The lower unit comes fully furnished for a lucrative and turnkey investment property.
