1306 Monroe St Washington, DC 20010

Listing details for 1306 Monroe St, Washington, DC 20010 : Occupying the top two floors of a rowhome, this townhome-style space is a clever alternative in a sea of condos that can all feel the same. Only a 7 minute walk to the metro (with garage parking available for rent 2 blocks away), this creative, colorful home has been thoughtfully transformed for someone who needs something move-in ready, but craves custom design. The main level sets the tone. In the living room, a marble mantle anchors the space alongside a sunny Victorian bay window. A jewel-box dining room – carved out of what was once an enclosed bedroom – bridges the kitchen and a private back patio. The en-suite bathroom was updated as part of the same design moment, and both spaces could be reverted back and just as easily function as a guest suite or bedroom for the next owners. Upstairs, the same design spirit carries through: pink trim and wallpaper in the hall bath, book shelving lining the corridor, and a closet in the guest bedroom built out as a discreet office setup. The middle room, transformed into a darling nursery, could be used as a library, office, or dressing room. The primary bedroom sits high above the street, with two moments of exposed brick and an exterior alcove that make it feel less like a city apartment, more like a comfortable respite. The en-suite bathroom has a marble topped double vanity and beautiful lighting, too.
