Situated only two blocks from vibrant King Street, and a short stroll to the serene Potomac River, this home offers the rare opportunity to live within walking distance of history, culture, and natural beauty.

High-end luxury upgrades, including a Sub Zero refrigerator, a heated floor in the master bath, and custom cabinetry adorned with Buster+Punch hardware. Spacious lower level, complete with versatile wine cellar, perfect for use as a home theater, private office, or personal workout studio. Seven closets in the primary suite alone, with additional storage throughout the home; you’ll never want for storage space. This residence is the culmination of two years of careful, loving restoration by an owner inspired by the elegance of Parisian townhomes. The seamless blend of old-world charm and contemporary design ensures that you won’t need to lift a finger when you move in—unless you want to add your own personal touch to this exquisite property.
