For immediate occupancy, fully renovated English basement apartment in end unit row house on Shepherd Street which is a rare cul de sac here in northern Columbia Heights/Petworth. The entire house was completely gutted and rebuilt in 2004 and then the basement was cosmetically updated again in 2015. The basement features a large open main area with high ceilings and many windows which brings in much appreciated light. The open floor plan consists of a dining area, fully loaded kitchen with granite countertops, island and pantry, a living room area, half bath/powder room and a dedicated laundry room with stacked front end washer/dryer. At the back of the apartment (front of the house) there is a large bedroom with 2 closets and an ensuite bathroom. The bedroom has two large windows so there is plenty of natural light but I did install light blocking window treatments so it can be dark as well for sleeping, etc. The unit has its own separate entrance at the back through a small courtyard that is yours to decorate to your tastes. For emergency purposes, the stairs to the upper unit of the house are there (or if you want to come up and share a cup of coffee, talk or have dinner on occasion with me). On the side of the house are two gated off street parking spaces - one goes with the basement apartment. At the back of the house and above the garage is a huge deck w/ pergola and bbq that is shared by both units. The house is located just off Rock Creek Park/Piney Branch so there is very quick and easy access (no stop lights) for those with a car who may be working outside the city. The park starts at the end of the street/cul de sac and has many walking/biking paths for those who love the outdoors and a great hill for sledding during snow storms - people come from all around to sled down our hill! Two blocks up from the house at Upshur is a Recreation Center with a really nice community pool and a Crossfit is just 3 blocks from the house. As far as shopping/food/restaurants, there is a Giant, Safeway, Yes Organic and many farmers markets all within walking distance of the house. Trader Joe's is a short drive down to U Street and Whole Foods is a bit further down at P Street. Within walking distance there are loads of hot spots/eateries to include Red Derby, Mezcalero, Little CoCos, Little Havana, Slim's Diner, Meridian Pint, Le Coup, KBC, and many more that I can't even begin to list. There is a metro bus stop right out front that takes you quickly down to the Columbia Heights metro station which is 9 blocks south of the house or you can walk to Georgia/Petworth metro which is 4 blocks over. The upstairs unit is owner occupied. I am seeking a mature, responsible tenant - non-smoker - absolutely no drugs are tolerated. Asking $1,850/month plus utilities (willing to include utilities at a flat rate as well). Minimum one year lease, one month security deposit. Tenant will be responsible for cable TV unless you want to split costs of my current account (Verizon Fios) with me. Very pet friendly. Rent includes all utilities except cable tv. Absolutely no smoking and no drugs in or on premises.
