Open Sunday, October 12th from 1 - 3 PM! Welcome to this beautifully preserved 1912, red brick, bay-front gem, built by the legendary 20th Century developer Harry Wardman, renowned for his superb craftsmanship, spacious interiors, and elegant designs. From the moment you step in to the foyer you will note the many original architectural details remaining intact, including parquet floors with mahogany inlay, a Wardman hallmark, intricate detailing on the stair rail, transom windows and more. This unique home also offers numerous stylish additions and updates while being situated on an ideal, tree-lined block of 16th Street Heights. Offering four bedrooms—including a main-level bedroom for added convenience—and three full bathrooms, this home provides both comfort and flexibility for today’s lifestyle. The light-filled front living room with large bay window and high ceilings overlooks the large front yard. The recently updated kitchen is highlighted by modern finishes, stainless steel appliances, new flooring, a separate pantry closet and ample workspace with expansive, new quartz countertops. The kitchen opens to the separate dining room making both spaces perfect for entertaining. A rare main level bedroom easily doubles as an ideal family room space or home office and provides direct access to the rear deck and brick patio. A main level full bathroom, with access from the bedroom or the hallway features a jetted tub and updated vanity. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms offer plenty of natural light and room to retreat, including a king-sized primary bedroom with bay window flooding the space with light. An updated full hall bathroom completes this level. The expansive, fully finished basement with rear entrance is home to the flexible lower-level family room space that could be an ideal guest space/fifth bedroom, with a third, brand new bathroom, a separate laundry and utility room and storage. Outside, a deep, private backyard with newly sodded lawn leads to a rare detached two-car garage, providing secure parking and extra storage. With generous living spaces, numerous updates including fresh paint, updated lighting, high velocity central A/C and modern touches throughout, combined with an unbeatable location near Rock Creek Park, local dog parks, the Upshur Park and pool, shopping and diverse dining options, this home is a truly move-in ready opportunity.
