Across from the neighborhood park at 11th and Monroe Streets, this classic DC Victorian pairs original character with a remarkably versatile floor plan. A gracious foyer introduces the home, where original pine floors, tall ceilings and an antique mahogany decorative fireplace bring warmth and history to the open living space.
The spacious kitchen features stone countertops, ample cabinetry and gas cooking, along with a large island incorporating the sink and dishwasher. Open to a light-filled dining area surrounded by windows, it is designed as naturally for everyday living as it is for entertaining.
A powder room, generous pantry, recessed lighting and conveniently located laundry complete the main level. Just beyond the kitchen, a deck creates an inviting setting for dining al fresco and overlooks the fenced backyard, with a patio that can also serve as off-street parking, a mature tree and space for gardening.
Upstairs, the rare three-bedroom, two-bath layout includes a private rear primary suite with a walk-in closet and spacious en suite bath featuring a double vanity, marble tile and a tub-and-shower combination. Two additional generously sized bedrooms share an equally polished hall bath with marble tile.
The lower level expands the possibilities with a recreation room, full bathroom, kitchenette, ample storage, a second washer and dryer, and a separate door to the backyard-ideal for guests, work, hobbies or additional living space. Just outside the front door, 11th & Monroe's beloved park creates a natural neighborhood gathering place, while the cafes, restaurants and nightlife of the 11th Street corridor are only blocks away.
Start the morning at The Coupe, enjoy dinner at Queen's English or RedRocks, browse the shelves at Odd Provisions or meet friends at The Wonderland Ballroom. Giant, Target, Lidl, the Columbia Heights FRESHFARM Market and the shops of DC USA make everyday errands remarkably convenient, while nearby Raymond Recreation Center, GALA Hispanic Theatre and the restaurants of 14th Street, Park View and Mount Pleasant offer even more to explore.
Columbia Heights Metro and multiple bus and Capital Bikeshare options place the rest of the city within easy reach.
