Featured Property of the Week: 716 13th Street NE

“You do know the inside of a jewel box is always even nicer than the outside, right?! This Victorian jewel captures as you walk to the corner — you’ve seen the bay windows which wrap every wall — but come inside, there is so much more. Four levels of space including an atrium with floating stairs that gives an open feeling throughout. Hardwood floors, heated tiled floors in the basement room and kitchen, marble floors at the fireplace in the basement, and lots of Palladian windows bringing the light in when inside. This is your new home. The inside is secure and private. The full granite kitchen counters with gas cooking and heated tile floors all come with this jewel of a home. Imagine how good you will feel cooking and dining here year-round, especially in the winter. Configuration can be as you prefer — at the moment, there are two bedrooms, one newly refurbished bathroom on the upper level; one guest bathroom on the lower level, with two levels remaining for guests or for you to pamper yourself with space for work, for gym, for studio as there is over 2000’+ space. Included is a large bonus room in the basement with heated tiled floors. If you prefer the outside, you have the choice of sitting in the front garden to visit with neighbors, grilling on your back patio just off the kitchen, or sipping wine on your private Trex upper deck. So many choices. You’re convenient to everything on Capitol Hill and H Street, with a trolley stop at the end of your short block bringing you to Whole Foods or even Union Station a few stops away. In the spring and summer, enjoy a short walk to the farmers market, or if you please, enjoy tea as you watch the market unfold. The best of D.C. charm and convenient to everything — 10-15 minutes to Maryland or Virginia and 15 minutes from the airport in good traffic!”

Featured Property of the Week: 3713 Warren Street NW

“Welcome to this beautiful and spacious 4 BD/3 BA semi-detached home in Tenleytown-AU Park. Built in 1927, this home has been lovingly cared for by the current owners since 1999. Now is your chance to get into this desired neighborhood. Enter through the front porch, which is ready for people-watching, maybe a swinging bench and wine-sipping. Walk into this traditional, charming foyer and formal living room with a fireplace. Don’t need a formal living room? Make it your office. There are built-in bookcases ready for all your books and supplies. Have a big family? This spacious dining room is ready for a long table to fit all your guests. The kitchen was renovated in 2020 with white Shaker cabinets, granite countertops, glass tile backsplash, and reliable and serviceable Kenmore stainless-steel appliances. Flex space needed? There is a great “sunroom” on the back of the house. Are you the family “polar bear”? There is a Fujitsu split to keep you comfortable there. Walk out of the back of the house to the detached one-car garage, and garden and brick patio. Added in 2018, this brick patio is ready for barbecues, garden parties or just outdoor respite. The fenced yard has plenty of space for your dogs, garden and more. Upstairs, head to the primary suite with two closets and an updated en-suite bathroom. The tub was reglazed and the cabinet updated for you. There are two additional good-sized bedrooms and a hall bath on this level. Off the hall, enter the finished attic for the “fourth bedroom.” The owner used this as a teenager bedroom because it has a closet and additional Mitsubishi split to keep it comfortable. Use this bonus room for whatever fits you best — craft room, office, secret cat hide-out and more. The lower level is finished and ready for a family room, playroom, game room, etc. Set it up as a guest level as the third bathroom is on this level. There is also a laundry room with an additional fridge. Walk out to the back yard from the lower level to the fully fenced backyard.”

Featured Property of the Week: 327 Oglethorpe Street NW

“A stylish Tudor with a MASSIVE flat green yard! Not all homes or yards are created equal. This home has a DOUBLE LOT — check what has sold or is under contract nearby and the best-case scenario is they have half the yard of 327 Oglethorpe. This brick and stone home is the perfect blend of modern and updated while preserving its historic features — not the same open concept home stripped of its character that you’ve seen over and over. Here, there is definition and privacy, but the archways were widened to modernize each room. The floor plan is ideal with great flow from when you enter through the vestibule, step into the spacious entryway and walk into the large living room with a wood-burning fireplace. From the living room, you have a straight view through the dining room (that has space to comfortably entertain 12) onward to a bright and newly renovated kitchen. The top floor continues with newly refinished oak floors. The floor plan is your ideal 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom footprint with an en-suite bathroom to the primary bedroom. All bedrooms are large — unlike many other homes, which have a small third bedroom. The lower level will wow you, 7.5-foot ceiling height and six windows bringing in great light! A true bonus floor with a large second living room and another wood-burning fireplace.”

“Contemporary luxury in Kent, a premier NW Neighborhood. Don’t miss this contemporary gem in one of the most desirable neighborhoods D.C. has to offer. Built in 1966 and renovated in 2018 (with all new windows in 2021), 5315 MacArthur Blvd in Kent has 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, plenty of natural light, pristine hardwoods throughout, a separate dining room, and a fabulous vaulted-ceiling, four-season room, both of which open onto a gorgeous stone patio. And that’s just a general description. You have to see what the owners have done to make this home a contemporary paradise. There are custom touches everywhere you look. A custom-designed Scandinavian banister. Fantastic European kitchen featuring a gas cooktop, stainless appliances and plenty of cabinet space. Heated floors in all three full baths. Luxurious master bath with his/her sinks and large walk-in shower. Tons of closet space in the master bedroom. Dimmable recessed lighting throughout. Wall-mounted TVs with hidden wiring.

If you don’t already know about Kent, you’ll be amazed that such a place exists right inside D.C. Kent is quiet, tree-lined and filled with beautiful homes. While someone is taking a walk and admiring your house, you’ll be strolling elsewhere admiring another. This true getaway, tucked right here in NW, is so beautiful both inside and outside, no written description is going to do it justice.”
