***PRICE DROP!!!! **** This 'townhouse-style' home offers the rare luxury of a private entrance and a dedicated off-street parking space. A true urban retreat! Inside the second-level home lives like a penthouse. It is spacious, with soaring ceilings, natural light, and open-concept living. The home has been tastefully updated with a ventless fireplace, designer light fixtures, and kitchen updates like a backsplash and high-end oven with air fry. Unlike typical city condos, this home is long on storage. The oversized primary suite includes a massive walk-in closet and the second bedroom features a full wall of closets – ideal for a high-functioning home office or additional bedroom. Move-in ready and meticulously maintained, the unit boasts in-unit full-sized laundry, a new water heater and a brand new HVAC system. Within walking distance of this home are perennial favorites like coffee shop Big Bear Cafe, where, legend has it, Sarah Jessica Parker, Frank Gehry and Trombone Shorty dined together. The Pub & The People is another neighborhood pick, with its lush and dog-friendly outdoor eating area and a great comfort food menu. Beyond the immediate few blocks, NoMa, Shaw, and Mount Vernon Triangle offer many of Washington’s best restaurants, shopping, gyms, and more. If you commute to an office, all of the region is at your fingertips - whether you’re walking a couple blocks, biking on the dedicated bike lanes on Q and R streets that connect you East-West across the city, or hopping on the Metro at NoMa (Red Line) or Shaw (Green/Yellow Lines). If you need to get further afield, the private parking spot behind this home (first one in from the alley) is convenient - and if you exit through the alley, you avoid any traffic at North Capitol and New York Ave. If you’re flying, DCA is only 10 minutes away by car. What a beautiful home base for life’s adventures!
