Property Description
Welcome to your #UrbanCastle in 16th Street Heights — a sun-filled, 3,140 sq ft semi-detached home with four levels, blending timeless 1920s character with thoughtful, modern updates throughout. Step inside to find oak hardwood floors, crown molding, and a wood-burning fireplace that anchors the heart of the home. The layout offers both flow and flexibility, with distinct formal spaces and casual gathering areas ideal for entertaining or quiet retreat. The NARI award–winning kitchen is a design-lover's dream — rich in character and functionality. Stained-glass cabinetry, stainless steel ovens, and gleaming granite counters create a show-stopping centerpiece that blends Art Deco artistry with modern convenience. A pantry houses laundry, and and an artful powder room round out the main level. Upstairs, renovations from 2024 shine in the sunlit primary suite features a walk-in with custom closet system, marble bath with walk-in shower, and Toto smart bidet for elevated daily living. Three additional bedrooms and a second full bath with soaking tub complete the upper level. The finished attic adds incredible versatility — use it as a fourth bedroom, creative studio, home office, or guest suite. The lower level is currently used primarily for storage, but can just as easily become a large rec room for movie nights, play dates, or a home gym. Out back, enjoy a low-maintenance luxury turf yard with privacy fencing, a serene stone patio, and detached garage with EV charging — a rare and coveted feature in Washington, DC. Additional upgrades include custom closets, replaced porch roof (2015), high-velocity ductless central AC, combi furnace/water heater, and solar panels (Solar Solutions) to reduce utilities costs.
All of this just steps from Rock Creek Park, Carter Barron Amphitheater, tennis courts, and scenic trails — and minutes to coffee shops, farmers markets, and downtown DC.
