On a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Bloomingdale, 68 R Street NW offers the scale, character, and livability that make the neighborhood so distinctive. Inside, the spacious living room is anchored by a beautiful, original wood-burning fireplace, a spacious bay window for seating, classic moldings, and a graceful staircase adding architectural detail. The living room flows naturally into the dining room, creating an inviting connection between the principal living spaces. A powder room is conveniently positioned between the dining room and kitchen, while the kitchen opens directly to the rear deck and off-street parking. The upper-level features three bedrooms and two full baths, including an expansive primary suite with its own wood-burning fireplace and spacious walk-in closet. The lower level offers a separate income-earning rental unit with its own Certificate of Occupancy, bedroom, and full bath. In total, the home provides four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, along with an outdoor space and parking. Set in one of Bloomingdale’s most established residential settings, the home is surrounded by neighborhood restaurants, cafés, parks, and the Sunday farmers market, with easy access to Shaw, LeDroit Park, and the broader city.

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.
