Classic Edwardian rowhome on one of the most coveted, tree-lined blocks in Columbia Heights/U Street Corridor. Original moldings and period details ? high ceilings, pocket doors, handsome mantels - but updated for today?s lifestyles. Sited high enough off the street to offer great privacy, this home welcomes visitors with a lovely front yard and gracious porch. The main level offers a center hall foyer, living room with fabulous fireplace and tall windows, dining room, powder room, kitchen with quartz countertops and double oven, and additional sunroom (or mudroom) off the back. If you hate running the dishwasher when it?s not full, you?ll love the dish drawers that instead allow you to run a half-load and save energy. The large kitchen pantry holds a surprise, disguising the original stairs to the lower level. Enjoy the fully finished lower level as a rec room and guest suite or, with its two modes of egress, put it to work as a rental. It?s equipped with a spacious living area and kitchen, large bedroom, full bathroom and separate laundry. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are airy and spacious, and the primary bedroom has a deep walk-in closet. Here, the complete laundry room - featuring a Miele washer/dryer and extra storage - might someday be converted into another bathroom. At the back of the house are the rear porch and a beautifully designed backyard incorporating outdoor storage and parking. Close to 2 metros, the new Whole Foods in Shaw, Target, Best Buy, restaurants, theaters, and numerous other amenities. Perfect!
