Back inside, the stairway leads to the second level which is flooded by natural light from the skylight above. The large primary suite was reconfigured to add a sitting area and two full walk-in closets. The primary bath is also lit with natural light from the vaulted skylight and features a dual vanity and a large shower. The washer and dryer were relocated from the basement to the upstairs hallway for ultimate convenience. The second bedroom runs along the entire front of the house and has two oversized closets. You’ll love the built-in cabinets and the custom window shutters to keep the sun from streaming in. The second bedroom has its own bathroom off the hallway. The last mystery door in the hall leads to a set of stairs that take you to the roomy attic. It is currently configured for storage but could possibly be converted to more living space. The former owners had a desk up there, right under the window, to use the natural sunlight to paint. Down the stairs to the lower level, you will find a lovely family room with built-ins, a third bedroom area with a walk-in closet, and the third full bathroom. It has new carpet and is fresh paint throughout. The basement is an English basement, with its own front entrance and rear exit. This home has great bones. There was a full gut renovation, adding all new plumbing and electrical systems, as well as new walls in the late 90’s.

There is also a mini-split unit in the basement. Kalorama has some of the most picturesque sights, scenery, and architecture that DC has to offer.
