Description:

Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of this classic 1928 DC rowhome, masterfully restored and renovated by its architect owner. Blending historical charm with modern functionality, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom abode boasts an inviting front porch that leads into an interior where original hardwood floors and meticulously refinished original chestnut trim narrate stories of the past. At the heart of this home lies a fully renovated kitchen, highlighted in SemiStories Blog and the Washington Post for its white and sage modern shaker cabinetry, soapstone counters, and a bespoke island with seating, centered around new GE appliances and integrated under-cabinet lighting. This culinary haven adjoins a dining area designed for gatherings, enhanced by a dining banquette with storage. Other updates include a new gas furnace and heat pump, new insulation in the attic, a full-house water filtration system, and upgraded electrical and plumbing systems, marrying the legacy of the past with modern living conveniences. A newly added half bath on the main level features a wall-hung toilet and subway tile surround, complemented by built-in cabinetry for stylish storage solutions. The home's thoughtful renovations extend upstairs, where a second washer and dryer, a spacious rear bedroom with abundant natural light, and a primary bedroom at the front exemplify comfortable living. The hall bathroom, both renovated and expanded, mirrors the home’s commitment to elegance and utility with a new tub, vanity, toilet and skylight. The lower level introduces a fully finished walkout basement with a full bath, enhancing the living space. Outside, the backyard offers a versatile outdoor area with alley access for off-street parking. With significant updates like central heating, cooling, a new front porch roof, and kitchen appliances all less than five years old, this home melds the legacy of the past with the conveniences of modern living, creating a truly enchanting living experience. Nestled in the heart of Edgewood, this home sits in a neighborhood that feels like a well-kept secret amidst the vibrancy of the city.

Additional phases of the Bryant St Development will bring new dining and retail options within the next few years.
