Listing details

Own a true work of art—a remarkable 1925 residence where historic architecture, artisan craftsmanship, and thoughtfully curated design converge to create a home unlike any other. Meticulously renovated with contributions from talented artists and craftspeople, this distinctive property celebrates both its architectural heritage and modern livability, blending original character with bespoke details at every turn. Sunlight pours through the east-facing rear windows, filling the home with natural light throughout the day and highlighting the original red oak floors, carefully restored and upgraded in 2021. Exposed brick walls, period-inspired bullseye rosettes, and custom built-in bookshelves create warmth and character at every turn. The home's renovations were thoughtfully designed and executed with contributions from well-known artisans, including handcrafted wood countertops and an island that serve as functional works of art within the kitchen. Copper pendants over the kitchen island set the atmosphere for a relaxed evening. The chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, a vintage 1950s enamel sink, artisan-crafted wood countertops, and a striking full wall of exposed brick. A convenient first-floor powder room and two full bathrooms upstairs provide flexibility for modern living. The serene rear library offers the perfect retreat for reading, yoga, or working from home. A standout feature of the property is the fully self-contained lower-level apartment, offering a rare opportunity for supplemental income or multigenerational living. Completed in 2021, this private one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence features its own separate entrance, dedicated laundry, independent climate control with air conditioning, and thoughtfully designed living spaces. Comparable units in the area command approximately $2,000 per month in rental income, making this an exceptional opportunity for homeowners seeking to offset their mortgage, generate passive income, or maximize long-term investment potential. Major system upgrades completed in recent years include a SpacePak high-velocity HVAC system, tankless water heater, updated plumbing, LED lighting, new windows and casements, and newer exterior doors. Solar panels contribute to energy efficiency, while a fully fenced yard creates a private outdoor escape. Adding tremendous value, the finished lower level features a separate one-bedroom income-producing apartment with its own washer and dryer, offering excellent rental potential or flexible guest accommodations. The basement was completed in 2021 and is currently generating rental income. Ideally located just a short walk from both the Rhode Island Avenue and Brookland-CUA Metro stations, residents enjoy easy access to Trader Joe's, Busboys & Poets, Wardman's Wines, local cafés, restaurants, and the thriving Monroe Street Market district. The neighborhood is home to year-round farmers markets, artisan studios, pottery classes, poetry events, and a dynamic arts community that makes this area one of Washington's most unique places to call home. A rare opportunity to own a distinctive historic home that blends original craftsmanship, artistic renovations, income potential, and modern convenience in an exceptional location.
