Flooded with natural light, the residence is defined by soaring ceilings, restored hardwood floors, custom millwork, and gracious, interconnected entertaining spaces—an exceptional setting for polished gatherings and quiet daily living. The home has been thoughtfully improved for effortless comfort and long-term confidence. Four HVAC systems provide independently controlled climate comfort, with the basement, first-floor, and second-floor systems replaced in 2025 and the third-floor system replaced in 2022. A new electric water heater was installed in 2025, while an interior French drain added in 2019 brings further peace of mind. The primary suite offers a serene, spa-caliber retreat, centered on a 2022 renovation featuring marble, brushed-brass accents, and tailored finishes. On the third floor, a bespoke wet bar creates an elegant transition to the home’s extraordinary outdoor living. Above, a private two-level roof terrace of approximately 1,000 square feet invites open-air entertaining, sunset cocktails, and unhurried city evenings. The lower deck was upgraded with premium Dec-Tec flooring in 2022; the upper roof-deck boards were fully replaced in 2024. A rare attached garage enhances everyday ease in the city. Below the main residence, a legal, separately metered two-bedroom, two-bath residence creates exceptional optionality. Designed with privacy and independence in mind, it may serve as a sophisticated guest residence, an au pair or staff suite, a long-term rental, or a short-term rental opportunity, including Airbnb. The address places Washington at your doorstep. The cafés, restaurants, and retail along the 14th Street corridor are close at hand, while new neighborhood additions such as Ulivo complement Columbia Heights’ established dining scene.
