About This Home
Custom renovation just one block from 14th Street and one block from Meridian Hill Park. This 4 level home features four bedrooms and three and a half baths, high end kitchen, and exposed brick throughout. Reimagined in 2023, the home blends contemporary design with carefully preserved character, where exposed brick, custom plaster detailing, integrated lighting, and a floating staircase create a distinctive architectural identity unlike any other home. Built-in storage is incorporated throughout, maximizing both function and usability. The main level is centered around an open living, dining, and kitchen space. The kitchen serves as the focal point of the home, featuring granite countertops, a six-burner ZLINE gas range, wine fridge, and a substantial island with seating for four. Custom cabinetry includes drawer-within-drawer storage solutions, providing lots. A powder room hidden behind a cabinet door completes this level. Just off the kitchen is a rear porch featuring a fold-down wall that expands the space to nearly double its size, creating added flexibility for outdoor enjoyment. The second floor features two bedrooms, a full bath, and a dedicated laundry closet. One bedroom includes exposed brick and offers ample space for a king-sized bed and sitting area, along with direct access to a private balcony. The second bedroom offers flexibility as a guest room, office, or additional living space and benefits from tall ceilings and southern exposure. Occupying the entire top floor, the primary suite functions as a private retreat within the home. The space includes a sitting area, a full wall of closet storage, and a spacious bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a large walk-in shower. Integrated ambient lighting enhances the atmosphere throughout the suite. The fully finished lower level adds another layer of flexibility, offering a large recreation room alongside a fourth bedroom with an en suite bath and extensive closet storage. Whether utilized for guests, extended stays, fitness, or additional living space, the lower level is fully integrated into the home's overall design. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the home benefits from substantial infrastructure improvements completed in 2023, including new plumbing, electrical systems, kitchen, bathrooms, and staircase. The water heater was replaced in 2026, and the roof was recoated in 2026. With 2 HVACS, this home has multiple zones to keep everyone comfortable! Nearby amenities include Trader Joe's, the U Street Metro, Maydan, Vida Fitness, and the Vida Pool Club. Rental parking is available in the apartment building across the street.
