1244 I ST NE Washington, DC 20002

Welcome to 1244 I St NE, where the convenience of H Street is only steps away, but you'll also benefit from the serenity of a one-way street just off the beaten path. South facing and elevated, this stunner is bathed in natural sunlight. The recently rebuilt front porch welcomes you with its walnut floors making this the perfect spot to enjoy your morning latte from Shopkeepers - the local market with everything you need. Don't miss the front garden which is planted with herbs that will last all season. Once inside you'll appreciate the warm hardwoods, a gas fireplace, two distinct seating areas, and space for dining. A chef-designed French country kitchen is the highlight of this home. Featuring custom cabinetry, a Viking gas range, and a movable island, it's the perfect place to cook the bounty of fresh vegetables you've acquired at the Farmer's Market one block away. French doors lead you from the kitchen into the garden which offers a deck for al fresco dining, as well as a flagstone patio surrounded by beds with colorful plantings. This ample space also provides direct access to the alley which would allow for the new owner to create parking if desired. The main level is finished off with a powder room, a kitchen pantry, and a storage closet. Just up the stairs you'll find the landing that offers a quiet space to read or work during the day. The hardwood floors continue on this level where high ceilings afford a very gracious feel. On this level you'll find three ample sized bedrooms - all with large closets and one which takes advantage of the ceiling height and offers you storage for items not often used. The primary suite is on the rear and benefits from a wall of windows which keep it bright and sunny. An exposed brick wall adds charm and character to this room as well. Both the primary bathroom and the hall bathroom are finished in classic marble with tub/shower combos. A full size washer and dryer are also tucked away on the bedroom level making laundry a breeze.
