633 A Street is a masterpiece - an inspired design orchestrated $1M+ gut renovation of a gracious turreted Victorian beauty with over 3,500 sq. ft. of living area in a most coveted LOCATION. No expense was spared, No refined detail overlooked, No corners cut, No compromises on quality. ELEVATOR serves all 4 floors. The four levels of South facing walls of glass, multiple skylights plus other inventive light sources flood all of the interior space with natural glowing light creating an airy ambience unlike any other vintage property. The vestibule entry leads into the open floor plan - The LR, DR, Kitchen, and family room all flow sequentially through the house leading to a balcony, walled garden, and 2+ car garage. The garage is approached via the nicest brick alley on Capitol Hill (named Browns court) making this a pleasant walking shortcut to Independence Ave, Eastern Market, Metro, and all the best amenities the Hill has to offer. You are located on “THE” quiet tree lined street smack in the epicenter of national government and community life. Any Cordon Blu Chef will feel right at home in this perfectly setup Gourmet kitchen (3 dishwashers, 3 sinks, 2 refrigerators, baking oven, steam oven, pantry, and lots more) for preparing and serving food and drink for any size or type of gathering. The sleek cabinet-lined butcher block topped center island can fit 5+ people for casual dining. Masterfully crafted for optimal functionality for your entertaining and cooking. The 2nd floor opens to an inviting library/games room with lots of built ins and storage. The front bedroom and bath have rounded bay windows, smart storage, and a string of clever eyelash windows. The master bedroom suite has a fireplace, French doors, Juliette balcony, walk-in closet, fascinating skylights, and a bathroom with dual sinks, walk-in shower, laundry, separate tub and separate W/C. The third floor is a showstopper! It is an eloquent homage to contemporary architecture - a visual feast of shapes and views! In addition to the open office/flex space and fully equipped conservatory (or extra bedroom), there are 2 sublime walkout decks. The north facing private “turret” deck has unique eyelash windows and a wrought iron peephole view of the Capitol! The large southern deck has a panoramic glimpse of the city and seasonal views of the capitol. Details throughout this home prepare you for this subtle blending of the modern and the traditional. There are no jarring discordant notes - it’s a harmonious symphony pleasing to the eye and the needs of current lifestyles. The lower level is accessed by the elevator (and front and back outside entry). There is a bedroom and bathroom in the rear. It has exposed brick, built-ins, floor to ceiling windows, private patio, and laundry room. The rest of the lower level is another ensuite bedroom or a large separate rentable apartment. All the rooms in this house have multiple options of functionality to suit any need. The large garage has a work bench, water, electric and a wall of glass facing the house and inteior. There is the potential for the creation of a 2nd floor auxiliary dwelling unit above the garage. No expense was spared, no refined detail overlooked, no corners cut, and no compromises on quality. This is not a developer’s product! 3 room-heating fireplaces, 3 laundry areas, disguised electrical receptacles, smart storage, and a staircase that unites modern flare and traditional elegance. This is a very impressive property in a most coveted location!
