Description

Welcome home to 1209 S St NW, a historic townhouse with four bedrooms, four and one-half baths with multiple roof decks and dedicated, secure off-street parking in the heart of DC. This home is overflowing with traditional details and boasts thoughtful updates and modern conveniences throughout. Step into the home via a formal entryway and be greeted by a grand staircase with the original bannister. Just off the foyer to the right is a spacious and abundantly bright formal living room with high ceilings featuring crown molding and a fireplace. The original pocket doors lead you to a large dining room with an additional fireplace. Just past the dining room is a bonus family room, that leads to a beautifully updated chef's kitchen with massive skylights that make the space extra bright and airy. The main level has direct access to the backyard that features a deck, flagstone patio and secure two-car off-street parking. The lower level includes a bonus family room and is highlighted by a custom wine cellar featuring original exposed brick. Ascend the staircase to the second level which features two light-filled bedroom suites. The primary suite includes a sitting area with a stunning original ornate fireplace and mantle. Custom built-ins and a walkthrough closet lead to the primary bath which boasts dual vanity sinks, a steam shower and separate water closet. A laundry closet completes this level. The upper floor has the third bedroom suite and a bonus living area that is perfect for a home office, gym or den with two large closets for storage. From this level, step out to the jaw dropping two-story roof deck, with spectacular city views. The property also includes a separate one-bedroom, one-bath plus laundry suite on the lower level with its own front and rear entrances. A perfect in-law or au pair suite, this unit is an amazing bonus space, or alternatively is ready to be utilized as an income generator. This rarely available, full-size townhome with separate rental unit is located on the same block as neighborhood favorite The Coffee Bar and minutes away from all of the shops and restaurants of Logan Circle and 14th Street. First Open Houses Saturday and Sunday October 11 + 12 from 12 - 2 PM, this opportunity is not to be missed.

    "Florida Avenue tends to be busy, so I would recommend taking the kids around the side/off streets if safety is a concern. The parks and schools tend to be along those streets anyway."

    "My friends had to move away due to its problematic neighborhood. There were frequent parties, resulting in dirty streets every morning. Moreover, a lot of people tried to break into the building to steal packages, making the area unsuitable for families with kids."

    "It has changed a lot over the last 10 to 15 years and the change shows in a very positive manner. It feels safe, home-like, clean, and although it still has some minor issues, those issues are noticeable improving quickly as the neighborhood gets gentrified. "

    "I commute by metro to MD. Sometimes take a bus to redline so that I don’t have to transfer. I appreciate the easy access to 395 to get to VA as well, and green and yellow lines to the airport, Gallery Place, Nats park, and the Wharf are great. "

    "I've lived in this neighborhood for 4 years and it's great - there are grocery stores within walking distance, and lots of public transit if you need. I have a bus stop literally in front of my house. 11th St has a lot of great restaurants and bars, and U St and Shaw are just a quick walk down hill. Neighbors both old and new are friendly, if not on a first name basis. "
