1409 S Carolina Ave SE, Washington, DC 20003

A covetable classic from the first glance, this four bedroom, two full and one half bath Capitol Hill residence delivers in droves. A deep front yard leads the way to a welcoming front porch that provides a perfect perch to survey the front gardens and to simply relax. Once inside, the home’s true sense of space begins to unfold. A gracious foyer, oversized living and dining rooms, a stylishly redone kitchen, and an all important main floor half bath are beautifully highlighted by fine original appointments. Polished hardwoods, original moldings, large windows, and soaring ceilings give a nod to the home’s elegant past, while terrific updates including central air conditioning, a modern kitchen, and fresh paint throughout help keep the feel entirely current. The upper level offers three true bedrooms and a well appointed, redone full bath, all boasting lots of private, appealing space infrequently found in many neighborhood homes. The lower level is impressive, too, and consists of a fourth bedroom, spacious living area, a small yet efficient kitchen, full bath and laundry, and direct front and rear access that allows this floor to function as its own suite. There’s lots to love on the exterior, as well! The rear yard is a delightful place to enjoy morning coffee, do some gardening, or entertain in style. The detached garage provides parking for up to two cars and also offers great extra storage. An “urban oasis” may sound contradictory, but it certainly feels like an accurate description. 1409 is wonderfully close to everything–Lincoln Park, Eastern Market, great grocery stores, shops and restaurants, plus Metro– yet is equally and terrifically tranquil.
