1702 1st St NW, Washington, DC 20001

We have a beautiful light-filled furnished townhome next to the Big Bear Cafe and the weekly Bloomingdale Farmers' Market (which comes to the neighborhood every Sunday from May through November). The space is newly renovated with 2 bedrooms, 2-1/2 bathrooms, lots of room for storage, and an open kitchen with a gas stove and high-end appliances. The neighborhood is quiet and safe with beautiful Victorian town-homes, brick tree-lined sidewalks, gardens, restaurants, friendly people, and handsome pets. The neighbors are wonderful. - WEEKLY AND MONTHLY RENTALS AVAILABLE - The home is perfect for a small family just moving to DC, a wedding party spending the week together, a professional in need of a short-term home. Bloomingdale is a few blocks from the convention center, and the downtown district and National Mall (the museums and monuments) are a short bike ride, or 30 minute walk. GETTING AROUND - The home is directly on the R street bike trail (that leads to the Metro Branch Trail, Union Station, and downtown). The DC bike-share is across the street, and you can easily rent bicycles and scooters if you need. The Shaw Metro Station and NOMA metro are both within walking distance (a 12 minute walk). And bus service is available across the street. Many people also use Uber or other rideshare services which are available within minutes. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITY - The neighborhood is very pedestrian friendly with local parks, gardens, and small independent businesses throughout. You can meet your neighbors while taking classes at Yoga District, or have dinner on the garden patio of the Big Bear wood oven cafe. Local restaurants and bars include the Red Hen (a citywide favorite), the Boundary Stone Pub, DC Smokehouse, Showtime (dive bar), Pub and the People (neighborhood bar/restaurant), Meats and Food (butcher and sausage house), Jam Doung Jamaican Carryout, Aroi Thai, and more. There is also a large community garden (Common Good City Farm, and Wangari Gardens) where neighbors rent plots, and Crispus Attucus park that is ideal for picnics, and "Movies Under the Stars" in the summer. The home can be furnished or unfurnished. It is ideal for a family looking for short stays w/2-3 month stays available. Or a longer-term rental for 1 year. Prices can vary depending on duration of stay.
