Description

Selected for the 2022 Southwest Homes Tour, a testament to the home’s distinctive character and quality. This meticulously updated home blends high-end craftsmanship with a warm, globally inspired aesthetic. Entry begins at a welcoming vestibule with double doors for added convenience, leading into a spacious foyer complete with a coat closet. This level offers direct access to the one-car garage, as well as a versatile bedroom or recreation room featuring both a walk-in closet and an additional closet. A fully renovated bathroom (2024) showcases high-end finishes, including striking tilework and a dramatic floating tub. A utility closet with washer and dryer adds everyday convenience. The bedroom/recreation space is exceptionally flexible—ideal as a guest suite, home office, gym, or media room—and opens directly to a large, private patio. Renovated in 2022, the outdoor space features flagstone pavers and is fully enclosed with brick walls and fencing, creating a secluded retreat. Pool membership at Town Square Towers is available.

The main level offers a seamless flow, thoughtfully connecting all living spaces. At its center is a stunning, fully reimagined kitchen (2019–2020), designed for both daily living and effortless entertaining. The showpiece is a hand-selected Brazilian “Avalanche” marble island—a dramatic, high-movement stone with a luminous white base and sweeping veins of gray, gold, and beige, creating a truly one of a kind statement. Its leathered finish introduces rich texture and depth while offering enhanced resistance to fingerprints and water spots, balancing beauty with practicality. Custom cabinetry in natural walnut vertical-grain veneer with solid wood edgebanding provides both warmth and sophistication, complemented by smart storage solutions including pull-out shelving, a vertical pantry, lazy Susan, and hidden trash and recycling. Silestone quartz countertops in Miami White pair effortlessly with a carefully selected backsplash that echoes the tones of the island and the vertical lines of the cabinetry. Stainless steel appliances, including a double oven and gas cooking, complete the space, while concrete-and-wood pendant lights from Austrian maker Eglo add a distinctive modern European touch. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area flows naturally into a spacious living room, creating an inviting environment for gathering and relaxation.

Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms are complemented by a beautifully updated bathroom featuring a dual vanity, open shelving, and a glass-enclosed shower. A walk-up attic provides valuable additional storage.

Recent updates include a new water heater (2019), new window treatments (2020), and new gutters and attic fan (2024). The roof and windows were also updated prior to current ownership.

Ideally located just moments from The Wharf, Arena Stage, Nationals Park, Audi Field, The Anthem, Safeway, CVS, and the Southwest Farmers Market, this home offers the best of vibrant waterfront living. With convenient access to Metrobus, water taxis, Waterfront Metro, and L’Enfant Plaza, commuting throughout DC, Maryland, and Virginia is seamless.

This is a home where thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and distinctive character come together—offering a truly exceptional living experience.
