Introducing 1240 Girard Street NW in the Columbia Heights section of NW Washington DC. This circa 1910 4-level 4-bedroom 3.5 bath residence has approximately 3290 sf living space to include a rental unit and two separately deeded parking spaces situated in the geographic center of the nation's capital. A terraced garden greets you with an assortment of wildflowers, ornamental and evergreen foliage. Wrought iron plumbers' pipe hand rails steady your path to the front porch illuminated with an antique inspired porch lantern. The front porch has a 3-foot stone masonry wall that facilitates concealment of packages. The unique façade is quintessentially Victorian featuring roman cut buff brick, a decorative carved stone embellishment above the arched front entrance transom and double vestibule doors. There are 2 decorative panels above the 1st & 2nd level bay windows; a foliage inspired stamped metal crest and a 2-tiered geometric diamond design with a 2-tone frame above the 2nd level bay windows. The 2-story rectangular bay windows have recessed rounded brick corners in the pattern of architectural coins that draw the eye upward to 4 double-hung north elevation windows on the 3rd floor framed by an upper and lower cornice with decorative trim that compliments the brick patterns of the 2-story brick bay window façade. Lastly 2 original copper shields are affixed to the brick finials capped with crown molding on both sides of the mansard roof line. There are three outdoor spaces to relaxation and entertaining: The top tier of the terraced garden in front of the home; a private enclosed patio with horizontal lumber and brick masonry walls; and a roof deck with city views to the east south and west. Solar panels provide reliable electric and SREC's that typically carry the entire electric load for the home. Convenient to restaurants (11th Street, 14th St & U Street corridors), grocery stores (Whole Foods, Harris Teeter, Giant, Safeway & Trader Joes) coffee shops (Starbucks), gyms (YMCA) and entertainment with a 91-walk score 94 bike score makes 1240 Girard St NW a great investment at $1,350,000 List Price.
