Quiet and zen, beautifully renovated home in the desirable neighborhood of Crestwood. The home is blocks from three trails into Rock Creek Park, all the 16th St bus lines to downtown DC and Silver Spring, and a short 1.3 mile bike ride to the subway stops at Petworth. All the quiet of being out of downtown with great commuting access to many parts of town. This is a 1926 partially detached house with generous sized covered porch and open floor plan for the common living area. It has been lived in but was largely renovated 2018-2019 and includes many high-end designer finishes and upscale bathroom renovations. Hand-cut tile in kitchen and Spanish tile in master bath. Hardwoods throughout. Fully working wood fireplace in living room. Very convenient washer/dryer on second floor next to bedrooms. The home comes partially furnished with custom-sized furniture for hard to fit areas (sofas, dining room table, bathroom cabinet, king size bed).
