Sleek and spacious two-level upper unit of corner Victorian, historic South Shaw, with two terraces and huge roof deck, ideal for WFH (FIOS 5G) and outdoor entertaining. A few blocks from downtown (Walk Score 95), this serene home has high ceilings and three window bays on each floor, so natural light streams in from three sides. Welcoming open-plan living/dining/kitchen space is perfect for entertaining, and the "Walker's Paradise" rating is deserved: a stroll away from downtown, Judiciary Square, Mt. Vernon Square/Convention Center, City Center, Logan Circle, K Street, NOMA, Howard/LeDroit, Dupont Circle, and the National Mall's museums, gardens, and galleries. (On the roof, watching nighthawks in the treetops at sunset, you might forget how central you are.)
Details: Main living/dining/kitchen expanse has exposed brick, original floors, chef's kitchen with Bertazzoni gas range and ample cabinet storage, and parlor bath with fittings from original Willard Hotel. Off dining area, a balcony shaded by a century-old oak looks out to a stately, historic Baptist church (a sweet spot for morning coffee). Upstairs master bedroom suite has high ceilings, large in-built wardrobe, and attached full bath with double shower. The other bedroom/bath suite with bay window, ideal for a WFH office, opens out onto a second terrace for meeting or working al fresco. From terrace, a spiral staircase leads to a huge roof deck with sectional seating and a native butterfly garden.
Blocks away: famously great bars and restaurants, two farmer's markets, coffeeshops, bakery, cinemas, gyms and grocery stores (two blocks to Giant at CityMarket, eight blocks to two Whole Foods). A park kitty-corner from the house has lighted tennis court, baseball field, and a children's water park/playground. Three Metro stations (Red, Green, and Yellow lines) are nearby, and a bus that goes through Dupont Circle to Georgetown runs every 15 minutes.
Other amenities: FIOS wifi; security system; video doorbell should you choose to use it; Nest system, W/D; ample storage throughout. Available for long lease from June 15.
Fios, basic cable TV, and security system included. Water, gas, electricity extra.
