1223 5th Street NW #1

A true one-of-a-kind offering: A duplex 3-bedroom 3-bathroom with private rooftop terrace and parking, in a boutique condominium, within a semi-detached townhome. This home is situated on a quaint corner in historic Mount Vernon Square. Built in 2016 as a two-unit building, this charming property was converted into two condominium homes in 2020. At 1650 square feet, this home was thoughtfully designed with high function, luxury finishes, and lovingly maintained. The open living and dining area is filled with natural light and oversized windows. The gourmet kitchen offers a gas range, under-counter microwave, slide-out pantry, Ocean White marble as well as walnut kitchen countertops. There are solid wood doors, vintage door hardware, and vintage-style Restoration Hardware light fixtures throughout. This home incorporates both the main and lower floors. The lower floor includes a separate one-bedroom one-bathroom apartment with a living room and kitchen—and separate entrance—that can be rented short-term (Airbnb, VRBO, etc.). The main two-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-story space can marvelously be pared-down to a charming, 350-square-feet, self-contained “owner’s suite” (bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette)—accessed through a “bookcase door.” The owner’s suite also has a separate entrance and features two large custom closet built-ins, a luxury bathroom with a Restoration Hardware shower and faucet fixtures, and a clawfoot tub. The remaining main living room, dining area, kitchen, guest bedroom, and bathroom can become a completely separate unit—which can also be rented short-term. This configuration works best when the owners are on extended travel and wish to earn revenue on their own unit, all the while retaining a self-contained “owner’s suite” strictly for private use. This unique property was amazingly designed for truly high function. A must see!
