2619 3rd St NE Washington, DC 20002

Listing details for 2619 3rd St NE, Washington, DC 20002 : OPEN SUN - COME GET A POPSICLE! As seen in The Washington Post, The Spruce, and SemiStories, 2619 3rd St NE has been meticulously restored by its owners - one of whom is a DC-based architect and designer herself! This home shines with exquisite attention to detail, expert craftsmanship, total functionality, and respect for the original design - including hearty pine hardwood floors and original chestnut trim (painstakingly stripped and refurbished by hand).   The foyer entrance brings you into the kitchen or the living room, which showcases built-in shelving and an attached, custom media cabinet. The remarkable kitchen features two-tone cabinets, Silestone & Oak (3” thick) countertops, stainless steel appliances, and dining banquette with custom back-rest and storage. Fun Fact: the wooden shelf above the countertop was originally a floor joist removed during the renovation, a reminder of the home’s rich history. Beyond the kitchen are a powder room and office that leads to a deep, fenced backyard with option for parking.  The Upper Level has three bedrooms, a beautifully updated full bath, and a den/office. Features of this floor include a W/D hookup in the den (W/D have been removed but can be re-installed for the sale if Buyer prefers), new skylight, and an extended built-in standing desk w storage - perfect for WFH.  The Lower Level offers fabulous usability as either a guest suite or an extension of your living space with a large rec space, full bathroom, abundant storage, a Washer/Dryer, and rear egress. The bathroom here has hand-laid penny tile (take a look for a surprise pattern!) and a beautiful glass shower.   The fenced front yard makes a great communal play space and the classic DC front porch has been entirely re-built to include cedar ceiling and fan. Other features of the home: Whole house Aquasana water filter, Tankless water heater, Sound-insulation in floors/ceilings and party wall, and, due to the RF zoning, ability for an ADU in the back. Directly across from the Edgewood Rec Center, this home is also < 1 mile to RI Ave-Brentwood Metro and convenient to many NE favorites, including Kraken Kourts & Skates, Alamo Drafthouse & Cinema, McMillan Reservoir District, Bryant Street development, Brookland, and a Trader Joe’s coming soon.  OPEN SAT & SUN – come check it out for yourself and grab a popsicle to cool off in the summer heat!!
