Enjoy close proximity to Eastern Market, Barracks Row, multiple parks, the Library of Congress, the Capitol and House/Senate office buildings. This spacious home (approx 2400sf per the floor plan), on three finished levels, is filled with sunlight on all levels and welcomes you in with a small garden at the front entrance. Inside, the main level offers soaring ceilings (almost 10'). The welcoming vestibule opens to the foyer, living room with wood-burning fireplace, dining room and large, updated eat-in kitchen. The kitchen opens via wide sliding glass doors to a large deck and garden with a beautiful magnolia tulip tree. A half bath and laundry complete the main level. On the second floor, there are five skylights that bring extra daylight to the house: one in the hall, two in the primary suite and one in each bathroom. The primary suite offers a sitting room with a wood-burning fireplace (and two skylights) plus a bedroom and renovated bath. The bedroom overlooks the garden through large windows. The second bedroom enjoys ample closet space, and the third “bedroom” (no closet) is perfect for use as an office, nursery or guest bedroom. There is a closet in the hall and a renovated hall bath. The lower level offers a large family room with three distinct areas: a family room with a fireplace and wet bar, an office area with built-ins next to the windows, and a sleeping area (separated by bookcases) with a full bath. There is also a LARGE finished room (great for storage) that connects from the stairs to the living area where there is a “work closet” for tools, etc. plus a mechanical closet. This house is a gem, filled with light and architecture (and move-in ready) in an unbeatable location!
