One-Bedroom Garden-Level Offers Location with a Classical Touch
Live front and center in this unique English basement unit located in Bloomingdale! Exposed brick, large windows, and an open-format layout are just a few features of this great one-bedroom abode. Built in 1895, this unit has been thoughtfully updated to preserve some old-world charm, while still providing a functional and well-equipped living space.
Walk in the private front door entrance to find tile floors spread across an open format layout with great ceiling height. The bedroom sits in the front of the unit and offers exposed brick, ample closet space, and a beautiful window scape to let the light in. Just down the hall, you will find an open living space with a decommissioned fireplace with a charming aesthetic. The nearby kitchen offers great cabinet space and a laundry nook with a full-sized washer and dryer.
Another great offering from this unit is its location on R Street between North Capitol & 1st Street NW. Some of the neighborhood's favorite restaurants like Big Bear Cafe, The Pub & The People, and Truxton Inn, are less than a five-minute stroll from the front door. For groceries, Whole Foods, Safeway, and Giant are all within a mile, and Harris Teeter is even closer at just a 10-minute walk. A handful of local convenience shops are even closer. As great as Bloomingdale may be, this unit also offers easy access to other nearby neighborhoods like Truxton Circle, Le Droit Park, Eckington, and Mount Vernon Square.
Getting around is a breeze with walk, transit, and biker scores of 94, 72, and 91, respectively. When it comes time to leave Bloomingdale, Shaw-Howard & Noma-Galluadet Metro stations are both within a 15-minute walk. Nearby Metrobus routes include 80, 90, 92 & P6. If traveling by car, there are several major thoroughfares nearby such as North Capitol Street, Florida Avenue, and Rhode Island Avenue.
