Meet Polly Meet Susan

This beautiful townhouse retains the charm and detail of its original 1890s construction, but also provides modern conveniences and an open floorplan for today’s lifestyle. The complete renovation in 2004 kept many of the original features of the home, including high ceilings, a striking staircase with wainscoting, and original heart pine floors. And the exposed brick walls, crown moldings, recessed lighting, and stunning kitchen with cherry cabinets, stainless appliances, and granite counters and island bring the home fully into the 21st century. All three bedrooms are good sized with generous closet space. The 2 ½ baths have all been beautifully renovated, including cherry vanities with granite tops in the master and hall baths upstairs. There is also a welcoming front porch and a private rear patio for outdoor entertaining. Secure parking for two cars is also provided in the rear. Located just 1 1/2 blocks from the U Street/Cardoza Metro and within walking distance of the best of U Street, Logan Circle, and Dupont Circle, access to the city’s hot spots couldn’t be easier. Ben’s Chili Bowl is only a block away; the city’s first official dog park is only a few blocks away; and Whole Foods, retail shopping, and dozens of restaurants and bars are also nearby.
