About this home
A rare combination of historic character, gracious living spaces, exceptional outdoor living and two-car parking in the heart of one of Washington’s most desirable neighborhoods. Set along a picturesque tree-lined block just moments from 14th Street and Logan Circle, this beautifully maintained residence filled with the architectural details that give these classic DC homes their enduring appeal. Inside, high ceilings and original wood floors establish the character of the home, complemented by handsome moldings, an original staircase and an elegant marble fireplace. Generously proportioned living and dining rooms provide wonderful spaces for entertaining while retaining a comfortable, inviting feel. The expansive kitchen stretches across the rear of the home and features abundant cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances and a professional-style gas range. A sunny breakfast area and glass doors connect the kitchen directly to the garden, creating an easy transition between indoor and outdoor living.
And the garden is truly special. A broad bluestone terrace provides ample room for both dining and lounging, surrounded by mature trees, lush plantings and handsome wood fencing that create an unexpected sense of privacy and tranquility in the center of the city. Beyond the garden is one of the home's most coveted amenities: a detached two-car garage. The property's unusually deep 2,742 sf lot makes this combination of substantial outdoor living and private two-car parking particularly compelling. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, including a spacious primary bedroom and beautifully updated marble bath with an oversized glass-enclosed shower. A main-level powder room completes the home's 2.5 baths. The large unfinished lower level offers laundry, tremendous storage and flexibility for a future owner. The home provides 1,888 square feet of assessed above-grade living space, with the lower level in addition. All of this is tucked away on a beautiful residential block yet just steps from the restaurants, cafés, shops and everyday conveniences of the 14th Street corridor. Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are close at hand, with Logan Circle, Dupont Circle and the U Street Corridor all within an easy stroll. Historic character. A remarkable city garden. Two-car garage parking. And one of Washington's most sought-after locations. 1438 S Street offers the increasingly rare opportunity to have all four....
