Five Bedroom House in Bloomingdale: $1,299,000

First open Sunday 4/2 from 2-4 PM! A magnificent Grand Dame with a story awaits. This three level end-unit row home is filled with natural light from three sides. As you enter, you’ll be immediately captivated by the majestic swooping staircase, a custom-made work of art whose wood treads spiral upward on gleaming black steel stringers, bars, and wood railings. Meticulously restored in 2009, this home retains its original pine flooring and trim, vintage subway tile from the vestibule entry, a secondary staircase in the kitchen, and two ornate fireplaces. This three-bedroom, three full-bathroom and one half-bathroom home boasts an opulent primary bedroom suite on the second floor with a soaking tub, separate shower, plenty of built-in closet space, and a full laundry space with washer and dryer. You’ll feel as if you’ve stepped onto the set of a movie in the second sunlit bedroom with its charming wood beam accents, brick wall, secret staircase, sunny balcony, and full bathroom. The mezzanine level offers a sitting room, large and open bathtub, water closet, and a turret room reminiscent of a vintage circus tent. A glass observation window on the floor, made of bulletproof glass rescued from a Baltimore bank vault, offers stunning views down to the beautiful staircase. Enjoy breathtaking views of the US Capitol and Washington Monument as the sun sets while you luxuriate in the soaking tub. Host delightful 4th of July gatherings on your private roof deck as fireworks burst over the historic Mall. A charming balcony off the kitchen, perfect for sipping coffee, leads to the separate lower level, which boasts two bedrooms, a thoughtfully planned kitchen, a lovely sitting/dining area, and one full bathroom with a bathtub. The enchanting backyard garden, with flowering plum, evergreens, and stunning perennials, provides ample opportunity for time outdoors, gardening, or parking potential. Located in the vibrant Bloomingdale neighborhood, you’re steps away from excellent restaurants, bars, a yoga studio, the farmer’s market and coffee shops. Walk to Shaw metro, you’ll be close to Whole Foods and Atlantic Plumbing Cinema, Howard University, Trader Joe’s at Union Market, Washington Hospital Center and Children’s Hospital. The eventual development of the McMillan site is slated to bring a grocery store and other retail stores.
