1631 16th St NW APT 4, Washington, DC 20009

Fantastic new price. This gem of a condo absolutely has to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. Seller who has moved onto to a new address and is very motivated! This is your chance to live on one of Washington's most coveted streets in one of its most beautiful boutique buildings for below $495 per square foot which is considerably less than recent sales in the building (average is 875 or so and the assessed value is around $830K!). Built in 1883 for U.S. Navy ship designer Captain Theodore D. Wilson, this grand dame of the Gilded Age was designed by Emil S. Friedrich of Gallaudet University fame. The house sits on a deep setback that is fronted by a beautifully landscaped garden patio which connects to the unit via a short set of steps. Ideally located between Historic Dupont and Logan with myriad dining and shopping options on super-hot 14th Street including Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Room and Board, Miss Pixies and Le Diplomate, and for the health conscious, Vida Fitness, this ultra-spacious two bedroom/two bath garden-level apartment offers the best of both worlds -- affordability and quality. Once inside, via your own private entrance through a unique set of double front doors, you will be welcomed by an entry foyer and large double coat closet which leads immediately to the super-sized living and dining area with adjoining kitchen. Whether entertaining, spending a cold winter evening in front of the gas fireplace (w/remote), or drinking your morning coffee at the bay window while looking out at the garden, options for respite and or enjoyment abound. Interior details include (pet-friendly) Porcelanosa porcelain tile flooring, plantation shutters on all windows, recessed lighting throughout, shelving units that frame the fireplace, gas cooking, full-size front-loading washer and dryer/separate laundry area, and a whole-house Sonos sound system. A hallway that connects to a guest/second bathroom with a marble walk-in shower leads to a large guest/second bedroom with ample closet space and room for a home office, along with access to the rear via a glass panel door. In the far rear, an extra-large ensuite primary bedroom with a deep-set custom walk-in closet and enough room for exercise equipment, leads to a similarly large marble bathroom which features a jetted tub/shower combination; all of which complete this one-of-a-kind listing. Pets welcome (no restrictions). Self-managed building. Can rent for up to 2 yrs, with approval required by the board for any period beyond that. Secure your packages via a brand new video entry system (coming soon), plus monthly landscaping maintenance. Secure underground garage parking is available across the street. Comcast/Xfinity cable. Safeway (1-2 blocks away). Dupont Circle Metro, U street Metro, and the S2 bus line which serves the 16th Street corridor. 98/99 WALK/BIKE SCORE.
