Total charmer in perfect Shaw location. Wonderful home with loads of features for today's buyers. Very light and bright with custom decorating touches throughout. This is not a cookie-cutter Victorian row house. The renovations were done with style and quality. A sunny living room is perfect for entertaining around the wood burning fireplace. The charming dining area leads to the spacious updated kitchen. In addition to the Miele appliances, the kitchen boasts a La Canche gas and electric range imported from France. It is truly special. There is even a built-in Miele coffee station. There are loads of cabinets, including some with drawers, quartz countertops and a very handy pot filler. The kitchen door leads to one car secured parking with automatic garage door in a fenced and landscaped rear yard. Two small cars would fit in the yard. Tucked away behind the kitchen is a den/library with built-in shelves. The antique French spiral staircase offers a second route to the upper floor. The primary bedroom has a grand en suite bathroom with double vanities and a tiled shower with multiple shower heads. The second bedroom's built-in bookshelves form a clever bed surround. A really versatile bonus room can be used as a home office or anything else needed. The lower level is used as ample basement storage now. The location is hard to beat. Two Metro stops are close. Shopping, dining and recreation opportunities abound. Seventh and Ninth Streets are loaded with restaurants and shops. Trendy Blagden Alley is just a few blocks south. The U Street Corridor offers more choices for food and fun.
