Originally built in the classic Wardman style in 1915 and comprehensively renovated in 2019, the residence balances preserved architectural character with sophisticated contemporary living. From the moment you arrive, the welcoming front porch and traditional brick façade set the tone for a home that honors its heritage while embracing thoughtful modern upgrades. Inside, original heart pine floors extend through the primary living areas and upper-level bedrooms, creating warmth and continuity throughout the home. Exposed brick, carefully uncovered, repointed to match the original mortar, and sealed with a matte finish, adds rich texture and visual continuity in the entryway, kitchen, and owner’s bedroom. A custom dry bar with hand-finished walnut shelving, integrated wine storage, and a brass downlight creates a focal point between the living and dining rooms. The spacious dining area comfortably accommodates a full-size table and is open to the chef's kitchen. This creates a comfortable flow for entertaining and everyday living. Two distinctive architectural openings frame the kitchen: an original repointed brick archway leading to the sunroom and a sweeping twelve-foot wide arch that elegantly defines the transition from kitchen to dining space. The kitchen is a standout in both design and execution, anchored by professional-grade Jenn-Air appliances, including a high-BTU gas range and built-in microwave drawer. The space is framed by custom solid-wood cabinetry painted in Baltic Blue and finished with Restoration Hardware hardware. Quartz countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and a hand-laid Italian tile backsplash add layers of refined detail. Just beyond the kitchen, the sunroom serves as a beautiful and highly functional transition between indoors and out, and offers a practical shoes-on, shoes-off area with additional storage. The large sliding glass door with a transom window fills the space with natural light deep into the home and creates a seamless connection to the outdoor patio and parking space. Comfort and performance were core priorities of the renovation. Each level of the home features its own zone for a high efficiency Mitsubishi SEER heating and cooling system, installed in December 2023. High-STC divided-light Andersen windows help maintain interior tranquility by minimizing exterior noise and temperature fluctuations. The upper level bedrooms both have en suite bathrooms, closets with custom built-ins and are outfitted with top-down, bottom-up shades with blackout capability to enhance privacy and rest. The washer and dryer are conveniently located on the second floor, adjacent to the bedrooms, and the second bathroom is accessible from the hallway as well. The lower level offers exceptional flexibility, functioning as a private studio suite, guest quarters, or potential in-law space with its own rear entrance. A secondary kitchen includes an induction cooktop, vented microwave, wine refrigerator, and full-size sink. Outdoor living is equally intentional. The rear yard has been transformed into a versatile urban oasis where the parking pad doubles as an outdoor entertaining terrace ideal for grilling and dining. The rear addition is clad in durable HardiePlank siding with PVC trim, and the surrounding natural cedar fencing adds warmth and privacy. Located in Park View, the home is in close proximity to Howard University, the new Reservoir Recreation Center, and McMillan Reservoir. It is walkable to 11th and 14th Street neighborhoods in Columbia Heights, with acclaimed restaurants, cafés and Metro access. The location offers the perfect balance of neighborhood charm and city convenience.
