As you approach this mid-block rowhome, the original unmodified facade might make it seem like just another house on the street. But stepping inside reveals a spacious, modern three-level home that’s full of surprises. At first, you’re greeted by a traditional entry leading into a formal dining room and staircase—a standard row house entry sequence. . But as you move through the centrally located kitchen, you’ll catch a glimpse of the expansive, 20-foot ceiling in the living room, which opens up into a breathtaking double-height space spanning the entire width and length of the room. This rare feature in a DC rowhome stops you in your tracks, inviting you to take in its impressive scale. With the kitchen at the center of the home, and an open, easy flow connecting to the rear yard, you can easily imagine hosting lively gatherings here. The home offers 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, with a convenient half bath on the main floor and parking space for two cars. Natural light fills every corner, playfully bouncing off wide plank wood floors. The updated kitchen features Fisher & Paykel stainless appliances, a dual-drawer dishwasher, solid granite countertops, a built-in wine and ice cooler, and a large island perfect for entertaining or meal prep. On the second floor, an open den and wet bar overlook the main living area below, creating a great space to unwind or entertain. The top floor hosts the primary suite with ample closet space and a double-sink vanity. Plus, there’s an expansive rooftop deck offering 360-degree city views, accessible by a wide doghouse stair that makes for an easy walk up with a cocktail in hand as you watch the DC sunset. This stunning home sits in a vibrant, walkable neighborhood, a close walk from Union Market or a five-minute walk to the Metro. Nearby, you'll find Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Harris Teeter, and local gems like Old City Market, Atlas Vet, City Dogs Daycare, Bullfrog Bagels, and Joy of Motion Dance Center. Don’t sleep on this one—it’s a truly unique find!

Drop a pin before you begin, bring oxygen, plenty of water, bring your coolest cool cause it's gonna get hotter, get lost and like it, so big you can bike it, a house demanding a standing ovation barely beneath the seat of the nation, a kitchen defying description, space like a fictional vision, no rhyme for Guggenheim, a gentle division of state and church, an office perch, levitating, a bedroom search, meditating, a master-suite I swear a retreat, don't stop, you're getting hot, big air up there, the rooftop, who knew so few had such a vast city view.
