Over 3,578 square feet has been thoughtfully renovated, creating an incredible investment opportunity with many living and income-bearing configurations. Each unit offers a generous layout and unique finishes with 2BR/2.5BA, 2BR/2.5BA, and 1BR/1.5BA options. The building is well located on DC's hippest remaining alley. You have direct access to the best restaurants like The Dabney, Tiger Fork, Dabney Cellar, Calico, Causa and La Colombe.

UNIT 1 is a two-level unit on the main and lower floors, with 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, tall ceilings, 2 fireplaces and a bay window overlooking 10th Street. The main living room opens to a large brick patio and a huge manicured backyard. The unit has four access points and is complete with a washer and dryer.

UNIT TWO is the most exciting unit on the top two levels of the building. The first floor is an expansive space with an open granite and maple kitchen, dining area, large living room, large private deck, half bath and gorgeous cherry floors throughout. The deck is spacious and located directly off the kitchen. It is complete with a spiral staircase that offers access to the expansive backyard and carriage house. Exposed brick covers the entire wall from the entryway to the top floor. The top floor features a primary bedroom suite with a large dual sink ensuite bathroom, along with a second bedroom and bath.

It can be accessed both from the backyard connecting it with the main house or the Alley and has a separate address (15 Blagden Alley) with direct access to the popular art district. The space is purposefully designed with concrete floors and the kitchen along the back wall in case a new owner would like to utilize the space as a garage or a shop as well as guest space on the top level. The carriage house is zoned for both commercial and residential space. It was completed in 2021 and boasts exposed brick as well as high ceilings. It is being sold with all the furniture.
