About This Home

As of June 2023

A special opportunity awaits on French Street! Spanning just one block from 9th to 10th St NW,
French Street provides unparalleled peace, tranquility, and green space. This beautifully maintained
and updated 4 bed, 3.5 bath home sits on a stunning corner lot across from the French Street Park,
where neighbors gather to admire the tulips in the spring and hang festive lights each winter. Upon
entering 940 French St you are greeted by herringbone wood floors and an open floor plan flooded
with light from the bay windows. Ample living and dining space, a powder room, and a stunning
chef’s kitchen with Viking appliances make entertaining a joy. Off the kitchen, enjoy breakfast on the
back deck overlooking the patio and your own private oasis. Gardens on the front, side, and back of
the home provide beautiful sights and smells throughout the spring and summer with Lavender,
Wisteria, Jasmine, Peonies, Winter Sweet, and Crape Myrtle. Large raised beds for growing veggies
and room for a picnic bench and umbrella in the summer and outdoor stove in the winter complete
the outdoor space. All this, plus covered parking! Upstairs find 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths with
updated finishes, plus a stacked washer/dryer. The bright lower level features a large main living
area, one bedroom and bathroom, kitchenette, another washer/dryer, and front and back yard
access. Walk one block to the Cardozo Playground, Shaw Skate Park and Benjamin Banneker High
School, two blocks to Garrison Elementary, three blocks to the nearest Metro, and four blocks to all
the dining and nightlife 14th Street has to offer, including Le Diplomat, Barcelona, and Ted’s Bulletin.
