Discover timeless elegance and modern comfort in this beautifully updated 1921 semi-detached row home for sale in Washington, DC's coveted 16th Street Heights neighborhood. This spacious four-bedroom, two full and two half-bath residence seamlessly blends historic charm with refined, contemporary living—offering abundant natural light, inviting space, and distinctive character just moments from Rock Creek Park and minutes to downtown DC.
Step inside to a sun-filled main level featuring a spacious living room with wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room opens to a NARI award-winning kitchen with three ovens, gas range, built-in microwave, and abundant counter space—ideal for any chef or entertainer. French doors connect the large dining room to a sunny rear deck and the landscaped backyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow for al fresco dining and daily enjoyment.
Renovated in 2024, the upper level features four well-proportioned bedrooms and two luxurious full baths, including a serene primary suite with walk-in closet and spa-inspired en-suite bath—double vanity, frameless glass shower, and Art Deco–inspired marble detailing.
