Nestled beside one of Washington, DC’s most treasured landmarks, this thoughtfully updated residence offers approximately 1,684 square feet of living space per public records, along with protected green views, historic charm, and modern comfort. Updated in 2021 and further enhanced in 2025 and 2026, the home features tastefully curated design finishes that create a living experience that feels both elevated and welcoming.

Multiple skylights, including one in the hallway and another in the primary bath, bring abundant natural light to the second floor.
The fully finished lower level offers additional flexible living space with new luxury vinyl plank flooring, a full bathroom, dedicated laundry area, and direct walkout access to the backyard. This versatile level works beautifully for recreation, work-from-home needs, fitness, hobbies, guests, or additional everyday living space.
