Property Description
First open houses Sat Feb 21 from 1-3 PM and Sun Feb 22 from 1-4 PM! This gorgeous, park-facing row home is ideally located on coveted French Street, a quiet one-block street on the Shaw-Logan Circle border. The interior is bright and open, with beautiful hardwood floors, original moldings, and refined updates that reflect careful stewardship. The entry foyer opens into a light-filled living room with a gas fireplace and a large bay window that overlooks French Street Park. The formal dining room - perfect for entertaining - sits just beyond, as does a full bathroom. The kitchen is spacious, modern, and thoughtfully designed. Through a doorway framed in exposed brick, it flows into a window-lined family room with modern built-ins. Outside is a private backyard with off-street parking and a stately Catalpa tree that shades the space all Spring and Summer long. Upstairs, the large primary suite features windows set at tree height that look out over the park. The en suite bathroom features an oversized glass-enclosed shower, two adjacent sinks, and plenty of storage. The second bedroom is well-proportioned and bright, while the third bedroom is ideal for a guest room, home office, or nursery. Laundry and another full bathroom complete the floor. The rare two-bedroom lower level is fully finished, with a kitchen, living area, full bathroom, and laundry. It works equally well as guest space, extended living, or rental potential. The location balances neighborhood charm with unrivaled city access. 14th Street, Blagden Alley, and U Street are each a 10-minute walk away, as are two Whole Foods locations, a Trader Joe's, and many of D.C.'s best restaurants and shops. The Shaw-Howard University Metro Station is a 5-minute walk.
