1411 LONGFELLOW ST NW Washington, DC 20011

It's an extraordinary day in Northwest DC when a property like 1411 Longfellow St NW becomes available. This handsome and lovingly maintained detached Colonial is steeped in historic DC character and charm. With a design that emphasizes light and expanse, the home features an abundance of oversized windows, soaring 10' ceilings, gorgeous, restored original hardwoods and millwork, exquisite parlour doors, and original pocket doors in pristine condition.

From a sweeping front porch, find your way into a grand, warm entryway and into the heart of the home. The foyer opens to a cozy den in one direction, and in the other, a large, bright living room with wood burning fireplace; a beautiful dining room with hosting capacity for upwards of twenty; and an expanded gourmet kitchen with extraordinary storage space, catering island, wine bar, and dining nook set to overlook a charming back deck. The entertaining space in this home is stunning and substantial.

A wide, central staircase leads to the first level of bedrooms; to the left, find an ample primary suite, complete with walk-in closet, sunroom, and brand new ensuite, adorned with statement lighting and impeccable modern finishes. To the center of the landing is yet another brand new full bath - equally appealing with beautiful fixtures and finishes - to accommodate the other two bedrooms on the level. Up the stairs once more, find two additional bedrooms with deep walk-in closets, an upstairs laundry, and a full bath with soaking tub.

All of this sits atop a wonderfully spacious, 2-bedroom, 1-bath finished basement with a sizable, shared living and dining room and full kitchen. This space is also wrapped in windows and has high ceilings and a separate side-entrance for privacy, allowing the home to accommodate many, very comfortably.

Beyond its compelling interior — with its 7 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and unmistakable charm — this home boasts an exceptional outdoor property, particularly given its city location. Enjoy a serene, fenced-in yard and lovely patio, as well as a detached 2-car garage and 3-car driveway.

Sunlit, spacious, and upgraded with sophistication throughout, this home is singular among current offerings in DC. Coupled with its ideal location, it simply cannot be beat. This property is a rare find.
