This bright and spacious home in the heart of Shaw features almost 1,500 square feet of living space across two levels, offers numerous options in terms of living configurations, and is sure to capture your imagination from the moment your eyes meet the magnificent facade. A beautiful Italianate corner building, it was first built in 1874 and was meticulously rebuilt from the basement up in 2012 with great care and attention given to restoring the original details of the exterior, while also providing an interior that offers all the comforts of modern, city living. With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a bonus room that can serve as an office, home gym, den, or guest bedroom just to name a few options, you have the freedom to make this home fit your needs. The southern exposure bathes the property in sunlight throughout the day, and the oversized windows and doors offer views of the one of the most alluring neighborhoods in the District. Hardwood floors and a gorgeous open living/dining space create an inviting focal point on the main floor. The modern kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, gas cooking and plenty of storage space. French doors from the bonus room open directly onto your own private patio, perfect for taking in the sun, enjoying your morning coffee, or gathering with friends for drinks in the garden.
