The infamous carriage house of the Huntress Coal Oil building in historic Blagden Alley is a completely restored and uniquely stunning residence that captures the eclectic vibe of its surrounding neighborhood. Thoughtfully designed by its original owners, each hand selected finish is finely curated to present a space that is both liberating and inspiring. This two-level residence showcases approximately 1,591 square feet and has an open and flexible floor plan that hosts 1 Bedroom and 1.5 Baths. This carriage house at 1225 10th St NW, #4 has an industrial yet elegant vibe with its open rafters, concrete floors, and exposed brick that are complemented by the feminine wall coverings, custom built-ins, and timeless tile selections. The Main Level is a fluid layout that is outfitted for entertaining with an oversized Dining Room that currently holds a 10’ dining table that seats 14. Beyond the Dining Room is the Kitchen that has been designed with functionality and style in mind. Open shelving keeps the sightlines above the countertops clean and functional, while the appliances were also selected to keep the bulk of the Kitchen discreet. High quality True refrigerator and freezer drawers and a commercial grade Wolf range were chosen for the Kitchen along with a mix of both stainless steel and marble countertops. The Living Room opens to the rear Patio and Garden, a deep and wide outdoor sanctuary that also includes an upper level Rear Deck that overlooks the grounds. The Upper Level is an open space that has high ceilings and is flooded with natural light. Quite versatile, this level is comprised of a large Sitting Room, a Bedroom alcove, Full Bath, and access to both a Juliet balcony that overlooks Blagden Alley and a rear Deck with connecting stairs to the Patio. Blagden Alley is covertly cool with its historic buildings that are made up of imperfect bricks and industrial facades that tell a tale of what once was. Exploring this pocket of the city transports you into an enclave of pedestrian filled pathways that boast Michelin star restaurants, chic cafes and bakeries, and creative spaces. The exterior buildings and homes that border the outside of Blagden Alley do their part in disguising what lays on the other side of their walls. Traditional Victorian homes line the streets of Shaw beautifully, but it is the collection of carriage houses and garage-style buildings behind these homes that hold the mystique and wonder of one of DC’s most interesting places. Blagden Alley is also centrally located to some of DC’s most incredible landmarks. Just a short distance in any direction will bring you quickly to the National Mall, the Wharf, Downtown, the 14th Street Corridor of Logan Circle, Dupont Circle, and Georgetown.
