About This Home
As of August 2021Welcome to 1231 S St. NW, located just steps from the corner of 13th & S St NW within the Logan/14th Street corridor.
**** This beautiful, 1890 built row home located on the quietest block of S St. NW, is set far back from the street allowing owners and guests to lounge in the front yard and garden space or dine on the upper terrace which leads into the home.
**** Following a dramatic fire in late 2009, the home was fully rebuilt over a thirteen-month period, replacing everything - resulting in a new home within the framework of a historic row home. The first floor features the living and dining rooms , along with the Chef’s kitchen with heated floors and back patio. ****
In addition to many restoration upgrades, the owners added three “secret storage ” areas to the first floor of the home to conceal the home’s entertainment and sound system, formal china, glassware and holiday decor. Stunning wood flooring and tile throughout. The meticulously redesigned kitchen features top of the line, stainless Monogram appliances with some very unique "restaurant style features", custom cabinetry, quartzite counters , marble backsplash and heated flooring.
**** Off the kitchen, a secluded patio, perfect for a pre-dinner cocktail, Sunday newspaper reading or just for hiding out. The backyard area features a 12’ x 5’ permitted storage shed, rain barrel and enclosed, secure parking. (The removal of the shed would offer a second parking space).
**** Other features of the first floor are the new and efficient Rinnai tankless water heater and Nest thermostat.
**** At the top of the stairs on the second level features an open office concept adorn with an overhead, remote Verilux skylight. To the left, the master bedroom features a large and bright ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower and skylight, a massive walk-in closet equipped with a Miele washer and dryer, generous shelving, clothing racks and cubbies for smaller items - all created by California Closets. The second bedroom is located to the back of the home next to yet another, full bathroom.
**** This home is 2 blocks to the U St. Metro and steps from the beautifully redone Garrison Elementary School. One block for all of the shopping and restaurants 14th Street has to offer. Added bonus items: firewalls, safety and sound insulation, alarm system, outdoor garden lighting and watering systems.
**** NEW: The home's exterior was stuccoed and painted (2021), new roof Carrier HVAC (2018). Home interior was repainted July 2021. Back patio was retiled and new electronic garage door motor installed - July, 2021.
