City living at its finest! AMAZING LOCATION for this sought-after 3 level BLOOMINGDALE Victorian Rowhouse. Enjoy the open feel at this updated and spacious TWO BEDROOM & TWO and a HALF BATH plus a FULL FINISHED BASEMENT with a REAR DECK, PATIO and PARKING for 2 CARS, ideally situated in the heart of everything.

Bloomingdale is one of DC’s best kept secrets. This neighborhood near Shaw features elegant, picturesque rowhouses exuding turn of the century charm along with an impressive lineup of bars, music venues ( Showtime), acclaimed restaurants and family-friendly parks. Tucked away behind stately rowhouses, Crispus Attucks Park is the buried treasure in Bloomingdale’s center. Summer afternoons there are calm, with quiet reading nooks under trees, sun-soaked benches and stretches of open field to accommodate as many cartwheels as your heart desires. There’s also nearby LeDroit Park which offers a jungle gym for kids and a fenced-in area for pets. It’s also home to Common Good City Farm, a community farm where locals can volunteer to farm, shop for produce or learn about gardening. Favorite local dining includes the acclaimed Red Hen, Baccio Pizzeria, Tyber Creek Wine Bar, Big Bear Café and Grassroots Gourmet Bakery or browse artisanal fare at the seasonal Bloomingdale Farmers market. Union Market, Metros and the National Mall monuments and museums are a stroll away.

With over 2000 SF, this rowhouse has been tastefully and neutrally updated and features high ceilings, refinished hardwoods, new carpets, wide dentelle crown molding, ceramic tiling, recessed lighting, soothing paint hues and abundant natural light.

Excellent curb appeal is provided by the freshly painted brick exterior and wrought iron staircase amidst mature shrubs. Step into the granite tiled foyer, opening to the spacious open plan sun filled living & dining area boasting 11 FT ceilings, a curved bay window, gas fireplace, crown molding, crystal chandelier and majestic columns. The neutral updated kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, white cabinetry – leading to a newly refinished deck and shaded patio, perfect for alfresco entertaining. A half bathroom with a whimsical chandelier and a deep coat closet complete the main level.

On the newly carpeted upper level, the enormous sunlit owner’s bedroom features a 16 FT vaulted ceiling with skylights, curved bay window and great closet space. There is a good sized 2nd bedroom, currently used as an office/ guest bedroom area with a double closet. The oversized, sunlit, updated neutral tiled hall bathroom offer a jacuzzi tub, separate dual shower & double vanity. An airy landing, linen closet and stackable washer & dryer complete the upper level.

The lower level offers a finished English basement with a separate front and rear entrance, high ceilings, recessed lighting, neutral carpet, gas fireplace, full ceramic tiled bathroom with a shower/tub combo and can be an in-law suite, third bedroom or there's room to add a kitchen for a highly rentable unit.

This gorgeous Victorian rowhouse has so much optionality – all prepped & staged for your buyers. Roof & CAC 2018
