As soon as you step on to this charming and picturesque block you feel like you have found a secret oasis within the city. With its brightly painted facades and murals it just exudes happiness! Built in 1890, this south-facing end-unit townhouse has both more natural light and more square footage than others on this block, and you can feel it from the moment you walk in. With a floor plan that works so well for real living, details include a wood-burning fireplace and built-ins in the living room. The spacious dining area is open to the kitchen and both spaces are filled with light from the extra end-unit windows and back patio door - a perfect setup for parties at home. The kitchen opens to an utterly charming brick patio space with twinkling overhead cafe lights - great for grilling and entertaining - and there’s even planting room for the gardener at heart and an optional dog door. The open kitchen has stainless appliances and plenty of granite countertop prep space. A brand new powder room with modern finishes and marble floors and the laundry closet finish this main floor. Upstairs are two full sized bedrooms, both with great closets, including a deep walk-in closet, more built-ins and additional bathroom storage. The full bath is illuminated by south facing natural light and includes pretty tiling details, a new vanity cabinet mirror, light and faucet. The home has also just been freshly painted and refreshed throughout. If this weren’t enough, the neighborhood simply can’t be beat - with all of U Street, Logan Circle, 14th Street and Shaw just a stroll away, you won’t be wanting! Trader Joe’s, the new Whole Foods, and the U Street farmers’ market are within blocks, the metro is two blocks away, and Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park and the YMCA are within steps as well. Get your coffee fix at La Colombe or Wydown, eat at Michelin starred Rooster & Owl and get your poetry and book fix at Busboys and Poets. What more could you want? Come, enjoy and rest easy - you’re home! **Offers, if any, requested by Tuesday, 3/28, 1pm***
