Perfectly sited along tree-lined R Street, this historic row home blends architectural character with refined, modern livability. Behind its south-facing brick façade, the residence has been tastefully reimagined, preserving original craftsmanship while introducing contemporary comfort at every turn. A front garden framed by mature boxwoods sets a gracious tone for the approach through the original vestibule and double doors, opening to a luminous interior of exceptional scale and proportion. The main level unfolds with soaring ceilings, original wood pocket doors, two wood-burning fireplaces (each plumbed for gas), and wide-plank hardwood floors throughout. A bay window anchors the elegant living room, which flows seamlessly into a formal dining room—an inviting setting for entertaining. At the rear, the custom chef’s kitchen showcases bespoke wood cabinetry, a Wolf gas range with vent hood, and a complete Thermador refrigeration suite, including a wine column. Every finish speaks to craftsmanship and restraint—from Hudson Valley lighting to Robern bath fixtures and marble bathrooms with integrated cabinet outlets. The kitchen opens directly onto an elevated deck and professionally landscaped rear garden, a private urban retreat featuring a built-in outdoor kitchen with gas grill, sink, and Sub-Zero beverage cooler. Landscape lighting and a full irrigation system enhance both front and rear gardens, while two secure parking spaces—discreetly screened by custom fencing—offer rare convenience without compromise. Upstairs, the primary suite enjoys a bay window overlooking the tree-lined street, and an ensuite marble bath with soaking tub and double vanity. Two additional bedrooms, a second full bath, and multiple skylights complete the upper level, flooding the home with natural light. A rare blend of historic authenticity and turnkey sophistication, this residence stands as a testament to thoughtful design and enduring craftsmanship—offering a level of finish seldom seen today, just one block from Metro and moments from the best of Logan Circle and Shaw.
