It has been thoroughly renovated while respecting the original historic character. This fabulous, convenient location in Washington, DC is minutes to downtown, Metro, the National Zoo, shops, restaurants, and the bike, jogging & horse trails of Rock Creek Park. LEVEL I: Enter this home via the classic columned FRONT PORCH. The wide ENTRANCE FOYER with paneled wainscoting retains its original inner and outer doors, sidelights and transoms with beautiful tracery, and mosaic tile floor. The foyer opens to the grand RECEPTION HALL with its gorgeous paneled staircase with columns, coat closet with original mirrored door, and two leaded glass windows. The window-filled front room is currently used as a DINING ROOM but is the original LIVING ROOM for the house and has an original columned mantel, pocket door, and recessed lighting. The large LIVING ROOM (formerly the DINING ROOM) comes with the original columned mantel, box beam ceiling, paneled walls, pocket doors, and two windows. From here, move into the table-space KITCHEN. This sun-drenched room kitchen has been meticulously renovated to include a stainless steel KitchenAid gas range, range hood, refrigerator & dishwasher, a KitchenAid microwave, cork flooring, custom high-end butcher block counters, a stainless steel backsplash, handsome solid wood cabinets, an exposed brick wall, recessed lighting, and three windows. A door opens to the charming REAR PORCH, the professionally landscaped GARDEN with underground irrigation system, and the PATIO. LEVEL II: The front room of this home has been transformed into a beautiful sunny LIBRARY with two walls of built-in bookshelves, four windows, a ceiling fan, and a closet. In the pass-way to the hall bath, you’ll find a WET BAR with sink, granite counter, & window. The HALL BATHROOM has been renovated and has a handsome marble tile floor, original tile walls and built-in marble mirror, pedestal sink, linen closet, and claw-foot tub with shower surround. Down the hall, the large BEDROOM/OFFICE with bay window and closet connects with the SECOND BEDROOM with two windows. From here, access the private REAR PORCH. In the hall, note the two large LINEN CLOSETS. LEVEL III: Move up the gracious staircase with huge original SKYLIGHT to the third level of this grand home. The THIRD BEDROOM with three windows and closet has a connecting door to the FOURTH BEDROOM. (This bedroom, with window and closet, could be converted to a walk-in closet for the front bedroom.) The stunning renovated HALL BATHROOM has marble tiling, original tile walls & borders, claw-foot tub with shower surround, original built-in mirrored medicine cabinet, and a sunny window. The OFFICE/BEDROOM is filled with sun from two windows. In the hall, you’ll find a huge STORAGE CLOSET.
