Spectacular Renovation

Welcome to 611 L ST NE, nestled in the heart of the revitalized H ST NE and just blocks from the brand new red line Metro station at New York Avenue. This larger-than-most row house has a spacious owner’s suite occupying the two upper floors and a legal lower level rental unit that just recently commanded $1,565/month in rent. The house was completely gutted and rebuilt three years ago with spectacular results.

A charming wrought iron fence frames the front yard, and a large Trex® porch, trimmed with period dental molding, welcomes you home. Step inside and you will find a spacious living room with a stunning exposed brick wall, chair molding, recessed lighting and gleaming hardwood floors. A private den/office, powder room and coat closet. are located just past the living room. This space flows graciously into an open chef’s kitchen and enormous dining room. The kitchen boasts granite counter tops, wood cabinets, ceramic tile flooring, a generous pantry and stainless steel appliances. The light-filled dining room is large enough to hold a table for ten and has French doors that open onto a brand new Trex deck with stairs down to a secure 2 car parking pad.

With the exception of the lovely tile in the kitchen, the entire main level has beautiful hardwood floors that carry up the staircase into the hall landing on the second floor. A large master suite, situated on the back of the second level, has two closets, a spacious en-suite bathroom and views of the Capitol Building. One wall is exposed brick and the room is sunny and bright with natural light from three windows.

A large second bedroom situated on the front of the house has three picture perfect windows, exposed brick and great storage space. A third bedroom also has good storage and a window. A hall bathroom and a coveted walk-in linen closet complete the upstairs.

The lower level has a separate Certificate of Occupancy having met all the requirements for a rental unit at the time it was built. Two bedrooms, a hall bathroom and an open living/dining/kitchen area make efficient use of the space. All systems are separate for the lower level including central heat and A/C and the hot water heater. The water and gas meters are shared by the entire house, but the electricity is metered separately.

Located on the northern tip of Capitol Hill, this house is ideally situated at the heart of a tremendous resurgence in the NE quadrant of Washington, DC. The H Street Corridor, with shops, restaurants and nightlife, is just blocks away. New streetcar tracks that are being laid that will from Union Station to Benning Road will be a welcome and charming addition to the neighborhood ,as will the new Giant grocery store, set to open on H ST in 2013.

The NoMA area is walking distance to the brand new New York Ave/Florida Ave Red line Metro station, Harris Teeter (set to open late 2010/early 2011) a hotel, shops, restaurants and grand plans for much more commercial development.
