Step into a timeless gem that beautifully marries the grace and majesty of its 1880 origins with modern comforts, nestled in the heart of the vibrant Shaw neighborhood. This meticulously restored rowhouse boasts a traditional floor plan with 3 spacious bedrooms and 1.5 baths, where tall ceilings and bay windows infuse the space with natural light, creating an atmosphere that is both warm and welcoming. From the moment you enter, the character of this home envelops you. With original details such as pocket doors, two working fireplaces, hardwood floors and crown molding, every corner of this home whispers of its storied past. The owners have lovingly restored and preserved its charm, accentuating the original design with thoughtful updates like two fully renovated bathrooms and an updated kitchen, restored antique doors, and elegant new light fixtures throughout. The location is as enchanting as the home itself. Enjoy the walkability that Shaw offers, with the Shaw Metro Stop, and local favorites like Dachas, Compass Coffee, Big Bear Cafe, the Bloomingdale Farmers Market, and The Royal just steps away. The neighborhood's tight-knit community feel is exemplified by vibrant events like the Warner Street Halloween block party, making this a perfect spot for those who cherish both community and convenience. What sets this home apart is not just its beautifully maintained historical elements, but the privacy and curb appeal afforded by its deep setback from New Jersey Avenue. Unlike many modernized homes in the area, this property remains a single, cohesive residence at a price point that rivals local condos. Here, you enjoy the full charm and warmth of a historic home, with all the benefits of a whole-house living experience. Embrace the rare opportunity to own a piece of history that feels like home from the first moment you step inside.
