Welcome to 1831 1st Street NW #3, an exquisite two-level residence that blends the timeless character of early 1900s Victorian architecture with modern elegance. Perched on the upper two floors of a beautifully restored rowhome in the heart of Bloomingdale, this home sits at the vibrant crossroads where Truxton Circle, Eckington, and Bloomingdale meet, steps from beloved neighborhood gems like The Red Hen right across the street, Big Bear Café, and Boundary Stone. Enjoy easy access to Crispus Attucks Park, the Bloomingdale Farmers Market, and the nearby Shaw and Union Market areas. Inside, an open and expansive main level welcomes you with double-story ceilings and abundant natural light. The soaring living room, kitchen, and dining areas flow seamlessly together, with a striking mezzanine above that adds both volume and architectural charm. Hardwood floors run throughout, complemented by large windows and skylights that fill the home with a soft, warm glow. The main level includes a spacious front bedroom with an ensuite bath and the home’s signature turret, a beautiful reminder of its 1909 Victorian origins. A well-appointed powder room adds convenience, while the kitchen and living areas open to a newer composite & wood rear balcony with stairs leading to a peaceful shared garden and a private parking space. Upstairs, the second bedroom suite offers privacy and character, complete with a modern full bath and views of mature trees that create a tranquil retreat-like setting. The mezzanine is ideal as a reading nook, office, or artful overlook to the living area below. Every detail of this home has been carefully preserved and enhanced to capture the best of both eras, combining historic beauty with contemporary comfort. This is city living at its finest, where architecture, light, and location come together in perfect harmony.
