Welcome home! A rare unicorn in DC, this lovingly cared for and maintained Craftsman style single family house was built new from the ground up just seven years ago. (Previous home was razed) Each of its three levels boast 1,200+ square feet of well-thought-out living space, from the expansive, open main floor layout to full en suite bathrooms in all four bedrooms. Situated in 16th Street Heights, the home is one block from two elementary schools and Hamilton Recreation Center, three blocks from Carter Barron/Rock Creek Tennis Center and the 16th Street bus line, and half a mile to Upshur pool and dog park. Set back from the street and framed by an urban orchard full of red and yellow raspberries and flowering fruit trees, enter the main level by way of the front summer porch with ceiling fans ready for warm evenings. The first floor features a large walk-in coat and sports closet, half bathroom, living and dining area, kitchen, and conversation space with gas fireplace. Perfect for entertaining and casual dinners, the nearly 10-foot marble kitchen island steals the show – more than enough room for at least four barstools and a wine fridge underneath. Marble countertops and stainless steel appliances complete the space. Upstairs, you’ll find three large bedrooms, each with their own full bathroom and walk-in closet. The light-filled master bedroom even has its own balcony overlooking the back yard. Tired of hauling laundry to the basement? No worries – your laundry room with utility tub and shelving is steps away. The walkout lower level features full height ceilings, a kitchenette with cabinets, a sink and granite bar top. The open layout is perfect for parties, video game and movie nights, and exercising. The guest bedroom with full bathroom completes the floor and makes the level serviceable as an in-law suite or Airbnb. Don’t miss the three large walk-in storage closets! The sweet backyard has a new composite deck along with a parking pad, gate and shed, perfect for bikes, tools and lawn equipment. The best part? A hot tub to warm up those cold winter nights – or turn the temp down in the summer for your own small pool. Lastly, the home has even more upgrades including solar panels and connections to handle 1GB synchronous internet service. There’s also plenty of street parking with no zone restrictions.
