About This Home

As of July 2025

Welcome home to 12 Snows Court NW. This 1884 2-bedroom, 1 bath jewel is situated in the heart of the Foggy Bottom Historic District just 9 blocks west of the White House. Alley houses like this were banned by Congress in 1892 and still visited by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt during the 1938 holiday season! Alley Dwellings are so uniquely Washington, yet fit the modern small-scale urban lifestyle that so many seek. Proximity to Metro, GWU, State Department, Kennedy Center, and Georgetown, and wake up to wonderful southern light pouring in through the primary bedroom skylights and large double doors opening onto a private patio under the shade of an elm tree. Historic charm meets modern convenience in a Compact Living lifestyle package. Exposed brick, wood burning fireplace, private patio, spiral staircase, ample closet space, and large granite kitchen are just some of the features that make this a wonderful property to consider for your next move. No Condo Fees, No HOA fees. Property is priced to qualify for the DC First Time Homebuyer Reduced Recordation Tax Rate. Quoted Square Footage is deemed reliable by Floor plan provider but not guaranteed .
