1616 Webster St NW, Washington, DC 20011

Description

Crestwood is one of DC's most coveted and quietly distinguished neighborhoods — residential, architecturally rich, surrounded on three sides by Rock Creek Park and easily accessible to DC's vibrant urban amenities. At the heart of the neighborhood, this classic American Foursquare end-unit townhome delivers historic character, sophisticated scale, and thoroughly modern convenience in equal measure. Soaring ceilings, graciously proportioned rooms, and beautiful hardwood floors set the tone from the moment you arrive, while an end-unit position brings in natural light from windows on three sides — a luxury simply unavailable in the interior rowhouses that define much of the city. The south-facing rear amplifies this even further, with a sun-drenched sunroom and composite deck that transform daily living into something that feels genuinely expansive. A screened front porch is an inviting perch for morning coffee or evening conversation year-round. The main level unfolds with ease and grace: a welcoming foyer, a formal living room anchored by a gas fireplace and custom built-ins, a formal dining room sized for effortless entertaining, and a beautifully renovated kitchen with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and a marble backsplash. The south-facing sunroom — awash in natural light and framed by French doors — works equally well as a den, home office, or sitting room, opening directly to the deck for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a serene retreat with a dedicated sitting room and fully renovated bathroom, alongside three additional bedrooms, a shared full bath, and a convenient laundry closet. A walk-up attic provides generous storage and a large cedar closet. The lower-level in-law suite — with its own living area, full kitchen, bedroom, renovated bathroom, walk-in closet, independent HVAC, and sound insulation between levels — offers exceptional flexibility for extended family, guests or rental income to offset carrying costs. A new stone walkway, landscaped yard, and detached two-car garage complete the picture. Crestwood is the rare neighborhood that rewards those who find it — close enough to walk to the shops, restaurants, and energy of Mount Pleasant, 16th Street Heights, and Petworth, and minutes from Rock Creek Park, yet quietly removed from the bustle of all of them. The outdoor enthusiast, the urban explorer, and the buyer seeking a true community all arrive at the same address.
