This exquisite Victorian townhouse, circa 1865, exemplifies the perfect marriage of historic character and state of the art amenities. From the elegant curved entry hall, towering 10 foot ceilings, balustrade, wood-burning fireplace+period mantel and wide-plank original wood flooring, the historical significance is present at every turn. An expanded gourmet kitchen features custom end grain FIR hardwood flooring, built-in banquet seating, ample cabinetry and french doors that lead directly to walk-out level deck and bluestone terrace with perimeter gardens. There you will find the magical piece de resistance: a recently designed masonry carriage house featuring 2 levels of innovative living spaces and a coveted 2-car garage below. The current sellers worked seamlessly with Trout Design Atelier to re-imagine this rear building that now encompasses two levels: a main floor family/recreation room/kitchen flowing to the garden from glass and steel accordion doors and upstairs a full luxurious bedroom and bathroom with clerestory windows, exposed brick and hex pattern end grain oak floors. Kitchen and bathroom feature custom walnut cabinetry throughout by Kerf Design. This versatile carriage house can be utilized in many ways by the future owners: As an extended living space and guest space for the main house, as an office or personal studio, or rented out as a separate ADU apartment. This home’s additional features include a sumptuous primary bedroom en suite with custom closets and built-ins, double-sink marble vanity and walk-in shower. Two additional spacious bedrooms, full hall Bathroom w/tub, and desk study area all on the second level. Recessed lighting, custom fixtures, crown molding, french doors, solar array, and main floor powder room complete this exceptional offering. Location, location…this bucolic tree-lined block is only steps from the myriad shopping and restaurant opportunities that exist in the 14th Street commercial district, including a convenient Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods. A short stroll finds you in Dupont Circle’s many attractions, Adams Morgan or the effervescent U Street Street Corridor. This home is the perfect choice for today’s discerning buyer who demands quality, unique character and true value sited in a most compelling location.
