1719 Willard St NW Washington, DC 20009

This unique, 3 bedroom, 4.5 bath bayfront Federal with 2 parking spaces, was built 116 years ago and its presence on this charming street is undeniable. From its gorgeous brickwork and stately facade, to its remarkable solid wood, leaded glass entry doors and period door hardware; this home will please the historic home aficionado before even stepping foot inside. Once inside, the main parlor with shadow box paint and picture frame molding sets it apart. No less than 4 fireplaces throughout the home. 2 wood burning, and 2 gas: all are newly refurbished and functioning. Mellow, heart of pine wood floors throughout the home add a calming warmth. The formal dining room with its fireplace is perfect for hosting an intimate dinner party or a large soiree. As is the dramatic, double ceiling height chef's kitchen with an original commercial Wolf gas range, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, Traulsen commercial fridge with glass door, and huge kitchen island. The completely renovated English basement was modeled after an English pub. The woodwork, stonework, and attention to detail is astonishing. Use it as a bar and entertaining space with its 3-tap refrigerated beverage dispenser and wine cellar w/Sub Zero wine fridge. Or use it as an in-law suite with its full kitchen w/Wolf and Fisher & Paykel appliances, refrigerated drawers, filtered water, gorgeous full bath, and front/rear entrances. It also has radiant/heated floors throughout. Upstairs you will find 2 bedrooms with 2 full baths, a fireplace, and a very convenient laundry. An open den/sunroom welcomes you onto the rear deck and its urban refuge. The owner's suite encompasses the entire top floor and includes a spacious bathroom with dual sinks, a separate tub, shower, and walk through closet/changing area as well as another roughed in laundry area. You could also add more outdoor space off of the owner's level. New central A/C system and hot water, radiator heat. This home is walking distance to Metro and all that makes Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan, and the 14th/U St corridor the most sought after neighborhoods in all of DC.
