No condo fees or rules here! Rarely available and genuinely uncommon for the neighborhood: a fully detached Victorian in the heart of Shaw/ Mount Vernon Triangle. This home lives like the perfect condo alternative—offering the same easy scale as a two-bedroom condo, but with the privacy of a standalone home and no condo fees. Inside, soaring ceilings and wood floors frame an open living and dining space that feels both bright and comfortable for everyday living. The kitchen features granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and efficient design that keeps everything within reach. Upstairs features a generously sized bedroom with a reach-in closet and ample room for a home office and reading nook. A bright full bathroom with shower-over-tub completes this floor. The flexible lower level provides space for a second bedroom, additional living room, home gym or office. A second renovated full bath with shower, storage closet and laundry room with stacked washer and dryer complete this floor. With a separate, walk-out entrance this level could potentially serve as a short-term rental income source. NOTE: Photos represent two uses for the lower level: Bedroom and Living Room. Photos with bedroom setup show staged room from previous listing. Current owners use this space as a TV / Exercise room. Outdoor living is where this home truly surprises. A charming fenced front brick patio offers a relaxing place to enjoy morning coffee, while the expansive 400+ SF roof deck with Trex Decking creates a rare entertaining space above the city. Additional features include recessed lighting, dual-zoned HVAC and custom ironwork. Just blocks to Metro, groceries, dining, shopping, and gyms, this location places the best of the District at your doorstep—while offering a level of privacy and independence that condo living rarely provides. Square footage information is approximate and taken from the DC tax record and should not be used for property valuation purposes.
