Built in 1880 and meticulously maintained, the stunning stone-clad facade and elevated front porch immediately captures your attention. Inside, soothing hues, crystal chandeliers, and hardwood floors flow throughout, creating a harmonious blend of Victorian nuance and contemporary convenience. Double doors from the vestibule open into an entry hall illuminated by skylights and large windows (with green garden views), spilling natural light across the elegant staircase. Palladian glass built-ins display cherished keepsakes in the dining area, while the exquisite original Victorian gas-fired fireplace, framed by a beautifully crafted mantelpiece, serves as a striking focal point, inviting warmth and nostalgia into the heart of your home. Your modernized kitchen displays sleek counter tops, ample cabinetry, and a host of appliances support any avid cook - perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Savor breakfast in the sunny nook, complete light work at the kitchen office desk, or enjoy the bright top-floor office/den - if not used as a nursery. Then retreat to your private oasis - a secluded deck that overlooks a lush, two-level garden, ideal for morning coffee or evening gatherings. Impress your guests with a charming stroll through the historic secured tunnel from the back deck to the front walkway, or allow caterers/contractors easy access to the back for your garden or home party. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features a generous original walk-in closet and shares a renovated bathroom with the second bedroom. The roof is perfect for future solar panel installation or transforming it into a stunning roof deck ideal for hosting memorable firework-watching parties. The above-ground guest quarters on the first level provide flexibility for multi-generational living or an au pair, featuring a full bath, kitchen, and private garden patio. Be part of a vibrant community with friendly neighbors - where local events and gatherings foster a true sense of belonging. With a walk score of 98 (a walker's paradise), you are steps away from two nearby Metro stations, Eastern Market, Barracks Row, and the shops and restaurants on Pennsylvania Avenue. Enjoy local concerts, world-famous acts, national festivals, and the indoor/outdoor Botanic Gardens (with living deserts, ancient forests, and towering jungles year-round). Stroll to the free aquatic center, hit the nearby gyms for a workout, or indulge in a pampering session in one of the local spas. Blocks away from smaller and larger parks - Folger, Providence, Marion, Garfield - and with 300 acres of the National Mall, you have endless access to free museums, nature, concerts, cultural festivals, and annual cherry blossom and fireworks events. With miles of coastal and scenic bike and walking trails, you can easily access the riverfront, local parks, islands, and vibrant sports arenas - there's truly something for everyone. Seize this rare opportunity to own a piece of history - schedule your private tour today and immerse yourself in the enchanting magic of this home before it's gone! Read Less
