1905 Tulip St NW

Washington, DC 20012

Grab this updated mid-century modern home before it's gone. Houses don't last in this secluded enclave in the northernmost tip of Washington D.C., abutting the Maryland line and Rock Creek Park, which preservationists refer to as the "heart" of upper Northwest D.C. This home boasts excellent entertaining flow. Begin with an entry foyer (with powder room and hall closet) opening into a formal living room complete with wood-burning fireplace, adjacent to a dining area that flows directly into an open kitchen with an island and second sink, plus-eat-in breakfast area, loads of storage and sliding doors leading to a backyard patio. There is second set of sliding doors adjacent to the eat-in breakfast area that could be explored for a deck or further expansion of the home to increase its footprint. Go upstairs in this split level and find three spacious bedrooms with two baths - the primary suite includes a walk-in closet, an ensuite bathroom, with jetted bathtub, separate shower and washer and dryer. The hall bathroom serves the two additional bedrooms on this floor. One level below the entry level is a ground-level rec room area, roomy even with a sectional sofa, entrance to the garage, another bedroom and full bath. One more level down is an alcove that has been converted into a game-room (could also be an office), which leads to the ceramic tile utility area that sports a second washer and dryer, mechanical systems, storage pantry, as well as access to the outside. Close to Maryland, 1-495, Downtown D.C. and the upcoming Walter Reed Development, with easy access to bus and metro lines.
