2 bedroom house for sale

Originally built in 1880 and reconstructed to meticulous standards, this stunning two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom residence now boasts a contemporary 21st-century design behind a historic Federal facade from the turn of the century. Situated on an exceptionally deep lot spanning 99 feet, the property allows for an impressive open floor plan, lofty ceiling heights, and generously proportioned rooms. Its East/West orientation welcomes ample morning sunlight to the front of the home and lovely sunsets enjoyed from the rear garden and flagstone terrace. Among its notable features are a chef's kitchen with granite countertops and breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances including a gas range, and a dining area featuring an exposed brick accent wall. There is a convenient first-floor powder room, and a spacious family room/den with French doors opening to the rear garden, terrace, and private parking area. The second level comprises two expansive bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including the owner's suite which offers ample space for a king-sized bed, and an ensuite bath adorned with travertine marble tile and an oversized shower. The front bedroom is equally spacious, accentuated by a coffered ceiling with dual skylights. A new roof was installed in 2022, as well as a tankless hot water heater in 2023, and commercial-grade Carrier HVAC system in late 2020, both of which contribute to high efficiency and reduced energy consumption. With a front garden enclosed by a historic wrought iron fence and a newly landscaped garden, as well as a flagstone terrace and gated parking area at the rear, this home presents an attractive, private alternative to luxury condominium living. Positioned less than half a block from the METRO station, just two blocks from Whole Foods Market, and steps from the shops and restaurants along the vibrant U Street Corridor, this property offers a rare opportunity for refined urban living.
