Tucked away on one of the most picturesque and storied blocks in Washington, 919 French Street NW is a rare offering in the heart of the city. Built in the 1880s, and most recently remodeled in 2022, this striking south-facing townhome spans over three beautifully finished levels, offering 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, two private parking spaces wired for EV charging, and a sprawling rooftop with sweeping city views. From the moment you step inside, the home strikes a perfect balance of warmth and modern elegance. Eleven-foot ceilings, a statement gas fireplace, and a sculptural custom staircase set the tone for the main level. The chef’s kitchen is as functional as it is refined—featuring sleek Italian cabinetry, quartz countertops, GE Monogram appliances, and a built-in wine fridge—designed for everything from casual mornings to dinner parties that linger late. Just beyond the dining area, French doors open onto a private terrace, ideal for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The second floor is smartly laid out, with two spacious guest rooms and a full bath tucked to one side, and the private owner’s suite secluded on the other. In the primary suite, oversized windows (with automated blinds), a walk-in closet, and a luxe en-suite bath with dual vanities and a custom shower deliver comfort without compromise. A spiral staircase leads to a rooftop deck where city lights and iconic skyline views offer the perfect end to any day. On the lower level, a fully equipped guest suite—with its own kitchen, laundry, and private entrance—makes an excellent in-law space, home office, or short-term rental, historically generating over $40,000 annually as an Airbnb. French Street itself is part of what makes this home truly special. Just a single block long, it feels more like a tucked-away village than part of a major city. Lined with historic Victorian row homes and anchored by French Street Park—an inviting green space recently redesigned to support pollinators like monarch butterflies—it’s a block with both beauty and soul. Rich in local history, French Street was once part of a larger 19th-century development known as “French's Row,” and remains a gem for those who value charm, character, and community. All of this is set just moments from Logan Circle, Shaw, and U Street—offering easy access to the best restaurants, cafes, nightlife, and Metro connections the city has to offer. Showings are available by appointment—this one is worth seeing in person.
