Discover perfection in this spectacular, fully renovated Victorian townhome designed by Nestor Santa-Cruz and constructed by Fajen & Brown, located just blocks from Dupont Circle. With over 3,500 square feet of pristine living space, this wide townhome blends classic elegance with modern luxury, featuring white oak hardwood floors, custom millwork, and meticulously crafted details throughout. A grand staircase with dark iron balusters leads to every level, setting the tone for the entire home. The main level is an entertainer’s dream, with a spacious open floor plan that includes a welcoming living room framed by built-in bookshelves with rolling ladder and a stunning marble gas fireplace. The chef-inspired kitchen is a showstopper, boasting a La Cornue range, expansive quartz countertops and backsplash, a sprawling island, and a built-in coffee bar. A formal dining room with additional built-in shelves flows seamlessly to French doors that open onto the rear deck. The rear of the home offers a beautifully crafted IPE deck that leads to a generous patio area, which conveniently accommodates two secure parking spots with an EV charger. The main level also features a functional mudroom with hanging space as you enter from the garage and a beautifully appointed powder room, perfect for modern living. The second level is dedicated to the luxurious primary suite, which occupies the entire floor. This serene retreat includes a private office space, a private balcony and a massive custom walk-in closet. The spa-inspired primary bath is nothing short of breathtaking, with a clawfoot tub, Waterworks dual vanities, and a walk-in steam shower with Kohler fixtures. The third level features three spacious bedrooms and two impeccably maintained bathrooms, one of which is en-suite. Natural light pours in from an oversized skylight, making this level a welcoming space for family or guests. The lower level offers incredible versatility with a separately metered two-bedroom, one-bath unit that provides a fully independent living space. Complete with its own kitchen, washer/dryer, and private entrances both front and rear, this space is ideal for guests, nanny/au-pair, or as an income-generating opportunity. DC records provide a certificate of occupancy for the property. This home’s exceptional location places you just one block from Dupont Circle's 17th street shopping, with easy access to vibrant dining, nightlife, grocery, and public transportation. With its impeccable design, luxurious finishes, and unmatched location, this residence represents one of the finest townhomes in Washington, D.C.
