1335 Vermont

Listing details

Just 350 feet to Logan Circle, 1335 Vermont Avenue NW occupies one of Washington’s most coveted locations. A quintessential red brick row home originally built at the end of the 19th century, the residence has been painstakingly transformed into a poster child for modern luxury while preserving every ounce of its history, pedigree, and character. Set far back from the street behind a wide sidewalk, a wrought iron gate opens into the home’s front garden. A tranquil, manicured patch, it augments the already significant curb appeal. At the top of a set of stairs is a set of double doors lacquered in a rich glossy green, parting ways to reveal a dedicated vestibule lined in intricate marble mosaic and illuminated via natural light from the transom window above. A second set of double doors opens into the foyer, a traditional space spanning nearly the home’s entire depth with the gracious staircase offset to one side. Adjacent is the formal living room, an embassy-sized space bathed in natural light from the bay window overlooking the front lawn. Thick crown molding and a roaring fireplace with a substantial stone surround accents the room. An effortless flow characterizes the transition into the formal dining room, an ornate space richly appointed with a gleaming crystal chandelier, deep turquoise paint, and a large framed mirror above the second stone fireplace. The main level’s soaring ceilings are evident in the dining room, and an integrated surround sound system carries through both formal spaces. Completed the main level is the kitchen at the rear of the home. Efficiently laid out and intricately detailed, its dark beaded cabinets are complemented by dark granite countertops, gorgeous custom pulls, a copper mosaic backsplash, and inlaid marble floors. A powerful yet compact commercial-grade BlueStar range is to appease any chef. The kitchen offers direct access to the large, private, double-tiered rear terrace – a true luxury within the urban core. On the upper level, the primary suite overlooks the front lawn and streetscape beyond. Ten-foot ceilings, dual closets, and a sumptuous primary bath evoking a slight coastal flavor with its turquoise marble feature wall establish the room as a well-designed sanctuary. The second bedroom is ample in scale and served by a dedicated hall bath, clad in Carrara marble with inlaid floors, glass shower, and separate soaking tub. The lower level can be directly accessed from the rear terrace. Centrally located is the large family room, featuring an additional fireplace and providing a generous recreation space for large gatherings. Comprehensively livable, tastefully luxurious, and situated in a truly unparalleled Logan Circle location, 1335 Vermont Avenue NW is one of the region’s hidden gems of historic architecture.
