2245 12th Place NW, Washington, DC 20009

Description

Found on one of DC's most quintessential, color-drenched blocks, 2245 12th Place NW is a historic home at the center of it all. Tucked along a quiet, tree-lined, one-way street, you get the best of both worlds: a calm neighborhood that feels removed from the bustle while being steps from some of DC's favorite spots – including Maydan, Meridian Hill Park, The Coffee Bar, and Solid State Books – with Trader Joe's and Whole Foods less than a 10-minute walk. Minutes from multiple metro and bus stops, this home is both an urban retreat and a launchpad for everything DC has to offer.

Outside, a private patio gives you genuine outdoor living in the heart of the city, perfect for morning coffee or a dinner party with family and friends, which could easily be transformed into a private 1-car parking space. Inside, original exposed brick, hardwood floors, and a wood-burning fireplace anchor a home built in 1890 and thoughtfully refreshed in 2019. A large skylight over the staircase keeps things bright and airy throughout. The front bedroom offers plentiful natural light and solid storage. The back bedroom with its Juliet balcony works equally well as a second bedroom, home office, or dream walk-in closet. Two bedrooms, built-ins, and no condo fees or HOA on a rare DC block with a genuine sense of community and a front door you're always glad to come home to.
