A mere block to both M Street and Wisconsin Avenue, 1254 31st Street NW prominently located in Georgetown’s revered East Village. At the same time, the home is quietly tucked along a verdant corridor with unobstructed sightlines down to the gleaming Potomac River. The quintessential federalist style townhome originally constructed at the turn of the century, the home exudes restrained elegance while showcasing contemporary improvements throughout to enhance modern livability while retaining historic character, quality, and attention to detail. A lofty position above the brick paver sidewalk creates a dramatic introduction to the stunning cream brick facade accented by traditional architectural details and contrasting rich green shutters. A classic entry foyer introduces the interior, characterized by a refreshing color palette comprising dark stained hardwood floors and extensive light millwork throughout. The main level’s ten-foot ceilings retain natural light pouring in from both front and rear exposures, establishing an airy ambiance. The formal living and dining rooms share one substantial space, spanning the full 30-foot depth of the home. Yet, the two areas feel intimately distinct, with each featuring a fireplace framed by mirrored arched built-ins. The efficient galley-style kitchen featuring refreshed white cabinets and Carrara countertops, the space contains a complete suite of full-size stainless steel appliances, an ample pantry, and private access to the elevated rear deck, creating an outdoor extension of the home. Overlooking 31st Street, the upper level primary bedroom has a private fireplace and cleverly designed closets for optimized storage. Its ensuite bath features combination shower and soaking tub clad in Carrara marble. The second bedroom features custom built-ins, a hidden laundry closet with in-unit washer and dryer, as well as a dedicated hall bath clad in earthy tile and with a stand-up shower. Ten-foot ceilings throughout the upper level is a true luxury and further augments the sensation of space. Arranged like a self-sufficient apartment, the lower level contains a full kitchen with European-style cabinetry, a Bosch appliance suite, and additional stackable laundry machines. The adjacent walkout family room spans the width of the home, the roaring fireplace flanked by built-ins infusing the space with a sense of warmth. A third bedroom with a walk-in closet and a full bath with a large vanity complete the lower level. The sunken rear terrace is fully walled, private, and can be accessed directly from the street via a covered side alley. Charming, livable, and situated in a truly unparalleled location within one of the nation’s most sought-after communities, 1254 31st Street NW represents Georgetown’s finest.
