OH Sat & Sun 1-3PM; Welcome to 1534 Kingman Place NW, a spectacularly reimagined 3BR/2.5BA historic rowhome on one of Logan Circle's most sought after blocks. Nearly every square inch of this elegant Bayfront Victorian has been renovated by the current owners with an eye towards honoring its historic character while bringing the residence squarely into the modern age with every designer touch and amenity that one could ask for (see document section for a full list of features and upgrades). Moreover, the beauty of this home extends beyond its walls. The back garden has been transformed into a true urban oasis with its flagstone patio with dining area, built-in bench seating, gas fire feature, outdoor television and sound system, full privacy fencing and charming bistro lights. This tranquil space is perfect for relaxing and unwinding or entertaining with ease.
This magnificent residence has also been designed with the lifestyle flexibility that has become so critical to this day and age. The lower level- which enjoys higher ceilings than the main levels of most District rowhomes- boasts a luxurious family room with expertly crafted built-ins, including bench seating with storage in the bayfront as well as a full wall of cabinetry offering a media center with additional storage and even a hideaway home office. A secret hinge in the adjoining built-in bookshelf allows it to open to a separate storage and utility room. A chic, full bath and legal bedroom provide the perfect guest quarters or home gym space. While masterfully integrated into the look and feel of the entire home, the entire lower level could easily be adapted for use as a lucrative short term rental or in-law suite thanks to its separately zoned heating and cooling system, street facing full-sized glass entry door and additional soundproofing in the ceiling.
Kingman Place is Logan Circle's hidden gem. This one block, tree-lined street sits quietly between Logan Circle and the fabulous 14th Street Restaurant, Nightlife and Retail Corridor. Close enough to Le Diplomate to smell the fresh baguettes on the terrace or walk one block to Whole Foods if you prefer to bake one yourself, Kingman Place provides unparalleled access to the ultimate urban lifestyle free from the density, traffic and congestion of other signature blocks in Logan Circle. As an added convenience, the owners of 1534 Kingman Place NW have been renting an extra large parking space directly across the street from their home for $275/mo and the new owner of this magnificent property should be able to maintain this arrangement for the foreseeable future. This home truly has it all...be sure to check out the property video and 3-D Tour for the full experience of 1534 Kingman Place NW!
