This beautiful 1913 “Wardman” style porch front town home is a meticulously crafted renovation, flooded with light, smart storage (you’ll never fret over where to put the vacuum), and has abundant closets (3 walk-ins professionally outfitted).
The home boasts 4 good-sized, light flooded bedrooms (queen or king-sized beds), all ensuite. The second floor has a windowed open area for a study, exercise space, or reading nook. And the entire top floor is a huge, glorious master suite with a wall of glass, luxurious bathroom (dual shower heads and built in seat), commodious walk-in closet, and roomy private balcony for lounging, offering a gorgeous twinkling light night time view. The lower level has a cleverly fashioned one bedroom rental unit with full size appliances, side by side washer/dryer, front & rear glass doors and excellent storage. The house also has a one car garage and a big front porch for enjoying this quiet tree-lined block.
The transformation of 634 Lexington Place included re-doing both the mansard and porch roofs, and the addition of a third story, along with lowering the second story ceiling to give extra headroom on the top floor, while still preserving the second floor's ceiling height at over nine feet. In addition, a custom “no stairs” walkway/ gangplank was created to access the new garage rooftop deck (your short-legged dog will love this feature).
Special finishes include a stone fireplace faade surrounded with custom display niches, “waterfall” stone kitchen island, and pre-wired hookup for TV, ceiling fans and overhead lights.
Normal finishes typically expected of this caliber home include wine cooler, exposed brick, wood floors, recessed lighting, thoughtful positioning of light switches and outlets, superb light fixtures, period newal posts, graceful entry with original staircase, ceramic bathrooms with storage vanities and lighted mirrors, and easy wash windows.
634 Lexington Place is located close-in to the centers of Congress, the Supreme Court, and many governmental, lobbyist, and advocacy offices. It is walkable to Metro, Union Station, Stanton Park, Eastern Market and the burgeoning shopping/restaurant areas of H St, Union Market, and other Capitol Hill amenities. The house's location on a one-way block mean parking is easy and traffic is kid-friendly light.
For a new renovation, this house is unusual and is thoughtfully set-up for comfortable “no hassle” immediate occupancy. You only need move in, unpack, and then sit back, relax and enjoy your new home!
