This rare, exceptional, fully detached Craftsman has stunning character and offers a quiet, friendly neighborhood experience with all of the perks of city living. The home has a large stone fireplace, original hardwood floors, spacious front porch (with plenty of room for a porch swing!), and beautifully maintained wood trim and windows (meticulously updated for energy efficiency and soundproofing) throughout. The kitchen, sunroom, bathrooms, and basement have been fully renovated in the last two years to accommodate modern living, while maintaining the house’s historic charm. Located in the desirable 16th Street Heights neighborhood right next to Petworth and Park Slope and a short walk to 14th Street and Columbia Heights, this 4BR/3BA fully detached gem features amazing outdoor space for entertaining, including a generously sized fenced backyard, built-in gazebo, back deck, fire-pit patio, and beautiful landscaping. There is also a detached garage. This large home has 3,355 square feet (per plan) of living space, with great flow from room-to-room, and lots of flexibility for home office, exercise, lounging, play, and more. Multiple spacious, deep closets offer significant storage on all three levels, including his-and-her walk-in closets in the bedrooms. When you first enter the home, you’re welcomed by the library and formal living room, complete with floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves and a fireplace with large south-facing windows. The graceful dining room opens into the sleek and stylish kitchen, with floor-to-ceiling pantry, marble countertops, Miele dishwasher, and Bertazzoni convection oven, as well as a sun-drenched sliding-glass door that opens onto the deck and offers exceptional flow for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The main level also includes a separate TV room, large sunroom/playroom/breakfast nook, and full bathroom. The fully renovated basement features an oak staircase, LVP flooring, and expansive soundproofed office with plenty of natural light. It also has a laundry room with space for additional pantry storage and extra fridge/wine fridge/freezer, separate exit to the backyard, deep storage closet, spacious HVAC room, guest bedroom, large living room, a cute reading nook under the stairs, and a spa-style full bathroom with soaking tub. All of this, plus a new roof and fence in 2018, professional landscaping, and new solar panels to reduce utility costs. Great, walkable location: Just a few short blocks to the new John Lewis elementary school and several language-immersion Montessori schools, Petworth public library, 2 grocery stores and multiple corner stores, playgrounds, dog parks, splash park, community swimming pool, and farmers market! Tree-lined streets offer a quiet neighborhood feel right next to restaurants, bars, beer gardens, and fitness studios. Multiple cross-town bus lines and the metro are all within a few short blocks.
