5 Bedrooms / 3 Bathroom

A big five bedroom townhome, recently remodeled, is available September 1st in North Columbia Heights NW DC -- fantastic location across from Upshur Park (with pool!) and just blocks from new, rave-reviewed restaurants a couple blocks south on 14th St! The house is and end-unit and flooded with sunlight with over 1,800 square feet including a gorgeous, set-back front yard and large back-yard with patio area (shared with the english basement apartment). The house has three full bathrooms and a large luxury kitchen, with an island bar-top that includes sitting stools, and there is a front porch with sitting area that over looks a landscaped yard with two beautiful Crepe Myrtle trees. There is a central heating and cooling air conditioning system, and two large common closets for storage, and two full-size clothes washers and clothes dryers in the house. An eco-conscious bonus is that solar energy is sourced for the majority of the house's electricity and there are bike racks installed in the foyer to keep bikes secured and stored efficiently.

Two of the bedrooms have soaring vaulted ceilings, and the other two bedrooms on the second floor have enormous walk-in closets (literally you can do a hand-stand and make a reading room the area is so big). The bedroom on the first floor is a master bedroom with an extra wet bar/sink area. All of the bedrooms have ceiling fans. There is a skylight above the stairs from the first to second floor, and bicycle racks are installed in entry foyer area along the wall. The front porch is huge with a lovely, set-back view of 14th St that is perfect for sipping coffee on the weekends and relaxing after a long day of work.

The house was built with green, LEED standards in mind, such as added insulation, high percentage of recycled materials, and the landscaping was designed to reduce storm water run-off.

The house has a convenience store across the street and is within a couple blocks to restaurants North or South on 14th St. The Upshur Park is just a block away with playgrounds and a free public pool around the corner.
