Property Description

This charming 1927 semi-detached home located in the Cathedral Heights neighborhood in DC is filled with character and timeless appeal. The welcoming front porch is reminiscent of a bygone era and provides the perfect spot for morning coffee, relaxing evenings or the chance to catch up with neighbors. Graced with large windows with three exposures, the home is filled with natural light throughout the day, creating warm and inviting living spaces on every level. The main level has a well-proportioned living room with wood-burning fireplace, a separate dining room and an enchanting sunroom that will become a favorite spot at any time of day. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated combining efficiency with understated style while offering ample counter space and abundant cabinetry for exceptional storage and everyday functionality. Special touches include glass-front cabinets that add openness and lightness, butcher block countertops that add warmth and old-world character, and a delightful breakfast corner to enjoy a little respite during the day. The upper level has three light-filled bedrooms and two, classically-styled black and white bathrooms. There is a delightful rear room tucked away on this level (perhaps a former sleeping porch?) that has been thoughtfully enclosed over time to create a bright and versatile space - an additional bedroom, sun-filled office, nursery, or cozy sitting room. The lower level was expanded to include what was once a garage, and is now a light-filled, cheerful and highly useable space with a separate entrance to the backyard. There is enough room to create a play area or family room plus a space for guests. In addition, there is a half bath, a laundry room and several storage areas. The rear garden has a driveway for two cars, a large terrace area for entertaining or grilling, and plenty of room for the dedicated (or occasional) gardener. The location is ideal. Whether you prefer shopping and dining in Glover Park, at Cathedral Commons, or on New Mexico Avenue, everything is a short distance away. There are walking/jogging trails nearby in Glover Archbold Park as well as Rock Creek Park, and bikers will find ample(dedicated?) bikes lanes to explore the city. Open Saturday 1 to 3 pm and Sunday 2 to 4 pm.
