Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined block, 1521 Caroline Street NW offers a thoughtfully designed 3-level home in one of DC’s most coveted neighborhoods. This circa-1880 property seamlessly blends historic character with modern sensibility. Three well-appointed bedrooms provide flexible living spaces, and two full bathrooms feature crisp finishes ensuring comfort and functionality. Your dedicated parking spot – a rare commodity in this highly walkable area – tops the list of perks and brings convenience to daily life. The location is perfectly positioned between two of the city’s most dynamic destinations; stroll south to Dupont Circle’s Sunday farmers market and historic architecture, or head east to vibrant 14th Street, where award-winning restaurants, craft cocktail bars, and boutiques have transformed the corridor into the city’s cultural epicenter. It’s city life as you’ve always dreamt it.
