On one of Bloomingdale’s most beloved tree-lined blocks, this reimagined 1895 Victorian rowhome pairs historic Washington character with a comprehensive down-to-the-studs renovation across nearly 2,800 square feet and three finished levels. More than a year in the making, the home was thoughtfully designed with a restrained palette of warm textures, natural light, and timeless finishes. A welcoming foyer opens to a light-filled front parlor designed for conversation, cocktails, reading, and intimate entertaining. From there, the main level flows into the dining area and a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, warm quartz countertops, and a premium GE Profile appliance suite anchored by a high-performance induction range and smart French door refrigerator. Just beyond, a rear deck overlooks the patio, extending the living space outdoors for dining, entertaining, or simply unwinding at the end of the day. Upstairs, the owner’s suite is filled with natural light and features an oversized window, custom walk-through closet, and beautifully appointed ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms, a thoughtfully designed hall bath, and convenient upper-level laundry complete the second floor. The fully finished lower level offers exceptional flexibility with its own front entrance, a recreation lounge, custom kitchenette with premium beverage center, private rear bedroom, and full bath—ideal for guests, extended stays, work-from-home needs, media, or additional living space. Every material and finish was selected to create a home that feels bright, warm, and enduring while honoring the character of this Bloomingdale Victorian. Moments from The Red Hen, Big Bear Cafe, Boundary Stone, the Bloomingdale Farmers Market, and Crispus Attucks Park, the home offers historic architecture, modern comfort, and an effortless sense of place in one of DC’s most beloved neighborhoods.

Bloomingdale, located between Shaw and Eckington, is a residential and historic Washington neighborhood with brick rowhouses and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Big Bear Cafe corner on 1st Street NW, where patio tables, coffee chatter, and small-plate dining set an unhurried tone. Victorian-era facades and deep front porches line side streets, while the Florida Avenue edge carries a steadier city pulse. Big Bear Cafe, Boundary Stone, and The Red Hen act as local pillars for dining and gathering. Crispus Attucks Park and the nearby McMillan Reservoir grounds add open sky and walking loops. Metro access comes via Shaw–Howard University and NoMa–Gallaudet U stations.
