Property Description

Located on the corner of 10th St. NW and Naylor Ct., one might think the location of this 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home is enough. But this house is so much more. It’s a top-to-bottom renovation—and not just any renovation. Built in 1912 in the Federalist style, the seller had the good sense to modernize while keeping all of the original charm. You’ll find wide-plank hardwood floors, wainscoting in the dining room, and custom shutters on the 6-over-6 paned windows. The spindled wood staircase features crisp white spindles with contrasting black treads and a classic lined woven runner (plus hidden built-in storage underneath!). Don’t miss a glance at the old wood support beam as you head into the kitchen—a clever nod of the history this house holds. The kitchen boasts high-end appliances, gas cooktop with electric oven for consistency and a perfect soufflé, a farmhouse sink, and plenty of efficient cabinet space and countertop work surfaces. Proper period lighting mixed with overhead task lighting makes this space not only cozy, but practical. Speaking of cozy, that is just how you'll feel while walking on the radiant heated floors. Just beyond, the bright living room features hurricane proof French doors, you never can be too careful, that lead right out to a private, walled garden with a bluestone patio and steps down to a professionally landscaped Belgian block parking pad. It’s the perfect spot for hosting a garden party—or just comfortably parking an SUV. Upstairs is just as bright and fresh. The primary bedroom features an ample walk-in closet and the prettiest wallpaper. A generous laundry space sits conveniently down the hall, right near the bath. And take a look at that tub—sunken, with an elegant marble paneled surround. Oh and you will never run out of hot water the house is equipped with an on demand tankless system. Bath bubbles, please! Bedroom 2 is equally spacious and just as light-filled. Just north of Blagden Alley, this home is a walker and biker’s dream. The Metro is less than an 8-minute walk, and you're surrounded by local favorites like Seylou, Pearl’s Bagels, La Colombe, Tiger Fork, Causa, Death & Co., and The Dabney. And when you actually need to grocery shop? No worries—the O St. Giant is just a few blocks away
