About This Home
Grand Federal-Style Home with Income-Generating Airbnb on the border of Trinidad and H Street
A grand old Federal-style rowhome near the heart of the H Street Corridor, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath beauty blends original charm with modern updates—and offers the rare bonus of a fully private Airbnb suite. Period details like transom windows, original wood finishes, and solid wood doors add character throughout, while thoughtful renovations include central A/C, modern countertops, new appliances, and a second full bath.
Inside, the layout is generous and functional: a separate living room, formal dining room, and family room provide flexibility for everyday living or entertaining. The oversized primary bedroom offers a peaceful escape above it all.
Below, the garden-level Airbnb is a fully self-contained, income-producing unit with front and rear entrances. Guests enjoy a private 1BR apartment with a full kitchen, living area, bath, washer/dryer, and a quiet bedroom retreat—perfect for short-term rental income or extended-stay visitors.
Out back, enjoy a green yard and a detached air conditioned brick garage/workshop—rare for the area. On a tree-lined residential block where neighbors greet one another, you'll enjoy gatherings like the neighborhood 4th of July block party and walkable farmer's markets on both Saturdays and Sundays. Just steps from the H Street Corridor’s vibrant mix of bars and restaurants (including Maketto and Providencia -- one of Bon Appetit’s nine best new bars of 2025), as well as multiple farmers markets, and as well as local shops and cafes, this home offers the best of DC living: charm, space, and income potential in one of the city’s most walkable, energetic neighborhoods.
