Welcome to this beautiful, spacious, wonderfully located 1916 townhouse in the heart of coveted Mount Pleasant, in Washington DC! This original Federal-style townhome located on a beautiful stretch of Newton St (between 18th and 19th Streets), bordering wonderful Rockcreek Park and near the National Zoo, is ideal for those who love entertaining, spending time outside and cooking with its +200sf open kitchen (featuring 2 stacked ovens, large "C-shape" butcherblock counter, gas range, ceiling-mounted cooking pan holder, endless cabinet space!) and the generous +750sf terraced backyard (with brick patios, garden and wood deck). This home features 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, front and back porches all laid on 3 different levels, totaling 2,500 square feet of indoor space; in addition to a nice front yard and a generous, stunning backyard with patio on multiple levels overlooking Rockcreek Park! This beautiful townhome was original built in 1916, still preserving majority of the original wood floors, door and window details, and layout. It was partially renovated in 1975 by locally renown architect-mastercarpenter who got the home published in the WashingtonPost newpaper edition of that time (which featured its +200sf expanded kitchen - with custom-built cabinetry, double-oven, and Mexican-style ceramic tiles still preserved today! the stunning 12' covered dog-leg open space - with stairs down and expansive skylight above, exposed brick and interior windows looking into the kitchen and living room - the double-height sunny generous MasterBedroom facing Newton St, and the rear addition with a nice 2nd level studio with stunning views over surrounding Rockcreek Park). After current owner moved in 2010, the unfinished basement was fully renovated in a modern, sleek style (with exposed steel beams, red brick, stylish lighting fixtures and frosted-glass barn door), featuring an immense family room, extra bedroom, a full bathroom with large shower, and plethora of storage space - perfect also for different uses (with independent front entrance, as well as back access). A more contemporary bath was added at main level, along with other improvements (included modern lighting and extra closet spaces). The original 2nd level bathroom was fully renovated just few years ago, also in modern contemporary style; adding an extra shower to a shower-bath combo. The sunny spacious 250sf Masterbedroom features double-height ceilings cladded with wood planks and a modern chandelier, a large built-in wardrobe with glass sliding doors (in addition to original built-in closet), 3 tall windows facing South, and remote-controlled dormer shades. This bedroom is inundated by southern light! The 2nd bedroom is ideal also as kids room (facing the backyard with view toward Rockcreek Park and plenty of closet space); while the 3rd bedroom (which also has a large built-in closet) features a nice, sunny extra 100sf studio space that can be used as home office, den/ sunroom boasting 2 large skylights and fantastic views down to Rockcreek Park! Like outdoor space and entertainment al-fresco? Look no further! This home has a front yard with a nice front patio facing Newton St; another 100sf back patio right off the kitchen ideal for family dining al-fresco, facing Rockcreek Park and overlooking the generous green backyard - which offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor dining, entertainment or partying, just relaxing outside or for the kids playing (with its upper and lower brick patios, covered lounge area for additional entertaining, generous 120sf wood deck and terracing garden with direct access to back alley and trash bins).
