About This Home

As of October 2022

Old Town living rarely offers the space, convenience and luxury of this exquisite 4-level townhouse, which has been recently refined and is presented in immaculate condition. With over 3000 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a 2-car garage plus a charming courtyard, there’s plenty of room for families and guests. The main level has an open dining room, living room, and gourmet kitchen with a large island, Bosch appliances, soft-close drawers, a circular pantry and stunning quartzite counters. The family room’s centerpiece is an electric fireplace with switchable heat and flame functions. For outdoor dining and entertaining, there is a private, brick-walled courtyard, complete with a built-in, multi-function Alfresco gas grill.
The second level features a luxurious Owner’s Suite with two walk-in closets and coffered ceiling. The adjoining bathroom has double vanities, a large glass walk-in shower with multiple heads, back-lit and anti-fog mirrors, and marble floors. Completing this level are a laundry room and a dedicated office/den with views of trees and Pitt Street.
On the top floor you’ll find a tranquil sitting area/library with custom built-ins. This space is flanked by 2 bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms. The lower level includes a bautifull finished large second family room with gas fireplace, bedroom, full bathroom and a sizable walk-in storage space.
Among the many unexpected features is a 2-car garage, rare for Old Town, fitted with Garage Living custom cabinets and Floortex epoxy flooring. The front landscaping was designed by Greenstreet Gardens and includes an automated irrigation system. The townhouse is located just two blocks from Harris Teeter and Trader Joe’s, a 5-block stroll to the shops and restaurants of King Street or Old Town North, and easy access to Metro, the GW Parkway and Reagan airport. Rarely do you find this combination of size, features and Old Town location at this price.
