About This Home

As of September 2023

Step into a slice of history with this 1890-built gem on Swann Street, renowned for its iconic ginkgo tree canopy and deep-rooted past honoring native activist William Dorsey Swann. Spread across three light-filled levels, this residence effortlessly marries its historic essence—evident in original hardwood floors, hand-carved marble fireplaces, and high ceilings—with modern luxuries. An open concept main level houses a refreshed kitchen, while the 2nd floor unveils a fireplace-accented primary suite with a lavish bath overlooking the yard. The top floor is illuminated by natural light from skylights, revealing two spacious bedrooms. The property further boasts a screened-in porch leading to a versatile hardscape backyard, graced by a heritage flowering vine and offering potential off-street parking.
Positioned at the heart of DC's dynamic life, this home sits a block away from the culinary wonders of 14th Street, including famed spots like Le Diplomat and Lupo Verde. The neighborhood promises urban convenience, with Jenni’s Ice Cream, Aslin Beer Company, and essential stores just a few steps away, letting residents revel in the vibrant city pulse without the need for a car. Experience true DC charm, right here on Swann Street.
