ELEGANT EXPANDED PORCHFRONT
DELIVERS SWEET SITE, SIZE, AND STYLE!
In the original L’Enfant Plan for the Capital City, broad and stately K Street is one of the most prominent East-West elements, and you can now make your home along a row of proud porch-fronts with DEEP front gardens. Perfectly placed steps to both the thriving Union Market and H Street/Atlas Districts, position yourself for a short stroll to countless amenities – restaurants, cafés, Whole Foods, Fitness studios, Sherwood Recreation Center, and much more. This historic home was originally constructed in 1917 by T.A. Jameson – one of the most prominent Capitol Hill homebuilders – and was FULLY renovated and expanded a century later for modern comfort and efficient operation.
Welcome yourself home through the historic gate into the expertly-landscaped gardens with thriving plantings to the covered front porch. Step inside and behold the EXTRA-deep extended floor plan, with plenty of space for living, dining, cooking, and entertaining. Larger than it’s neighbors, a 10-foot rear addition delivers room for a breakfast bar, family room, and double-deep bedroom up above soaked in South-facing sunshine. The graceful front parlor, with its beautiful gas fireplace framed by an antique mantel, flows smoothly into the grand central dining area - ready to host two or twelve. The fully-appointed kitchen boasts 24 cabinets, 2 pantries, and expansive quartz prep counters (almost THIRTY linear feet) with subway backsplash - conducive to lots of help for the chef! The cheerful rear family room is appointed with a hand-painted Paul Montgomery wallpaper mural depicting a historic colonial seaport during the era of whaling ships. Steps outside lead down to a private rear patio with secure parking.
The bedroom level beckons, with a primary suite overlooking the gorgeous front garden and featuring soaring cathedral ceiling with clerestory windows, plus three spacious closets and a spa-like marble bath! Continue to the bright sky-lit middle bedroom, convenient upper-level laundry with linen closet, pristine sky-lit hall bath with jacuzzi tub, and extra-large rear bedroom with custom built-in casework. In every room, fully configured closet organizers, and the cherry on top: a BIG bonus storage attic!

Alternatively, keep it connected to the main home to welcome guests, run a home-based business, or create a kid zone.
