Spacious and stately 4-level Victorian located right across the street from Eastern Market and in-bounds for Brent Elementary—featuring 6bd, 3.5ba, a backyard sanctuary and generous storage throughout, this classic Hill row house, simultaneously charming and practical, invites you to envision life in your new home. Boasting nearly 3,400 square feet of imminently livable space, the first floor opens up to a sitting room with a lovely south-facing bay window, and period details throughout, including classic crown molding. Continue on past a gracious foyer to the formal dining room with coffered ceilings, plate rails, etched glass, and a beautiful mantel, before entering a recently renovated kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, GM monogram appliances, gas stove, granite countertops, glass tile backsplash, and an eat-in bar. Living and hospitality space is extended with just a few additional strides when you step down into an inviting, light-filled parlor which opens into what can only be described as a peaceful retreat from city life—a professionally landscaped backyard, deck and patio area, complete with a sizable storage shed. Landscape and step lighting ensure maximum usage both day and night. The next level features three bedrooms, one of which includes a wood-burning fireplace, and a full bathroom. The top-level features two additional bedrooms, including the primary suite, with incredible unobstructed views drawing the eye to the horizon beyond. A roof deck rounds out the top floor. Front and back external entrances lead to the fully renovated lower level where there is a completely self-contained 1bd/1ba legal apartment! If life during the pandemic has you yearning for room to breathe, both in terms of interior square footage and exterior private space, look no further. Whether cozied up by the fireplace this Winter, or relaxing on your patio come Spring, this house can meet your needs and then some.
