• Remarks Public: The perfect balance of historic beauty and contemporary living. Welcome to 1477 Florida Ave NW – a timeless gem between Columbia Heights and the 14 & U Corridor. Nestled on a beautiful tree-lined block just half a block from 14th Street, this charming circa 1892 Victorian-era rowhouse blends historic character with modern convenience. With three finished levels, enjoy four bedrooms, three full baths, and a main-level powder room—making this home a rare find in one of DC’s most dynamic neighborhoods. Arriving at the broad iron stoop, bold persimmon double doors with period hardware welcome you inside. A double glass entry vestibule offers the first view into the generous foyer, an architectural detail that both protects and announces a home’s interior. To your left, a bright, spacious dining room boasts ten-foot ceilings, large windows with a window seat, and a period fireplace with a green tile surround. This inviting space is perfect for gathering with friends and family. From here, flow seamlessly into the living/family room, conveniently located off the kitchen. The back hall features an updated ceiling fan and skylights. Newly refinished hardwood floors add warmth and charm throughout the main level. The large, updated kitchen is a dream, featuring warm wood cabinetry, abundant built-in storage, a lazy Susan, modern pendant lighting, and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range with five burners and a stainless steel ventilation hood. Generous granite countertops provide excellent workspace for any cook. A striking backsplash adds a lively touch, while a wall-mounted pot rack enhances convenience. The rear doorway opens to a fenced-in garden with a deck, stone patio, and fresh landscaping—ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Upstairs, discover three bedrooms and a thoughtfully updated hall bath with a new double vanity, toilet, light fixtures, mirrors, and ceramic tile flooring. A large dual-headed shower with subway tile and glass doors completes the space. Adjacent to the hall bath, a sunlit room can serve as a dressing closet or tucked-in office. The primary bedroom bathes in natural light from large windows and includes a new ceiling fan. Bedroom two is currently open via glass doors, once serving as a sitting room for the primary. Removing the glass door easily converts it back to a separate bedroom. At the front of the house, a small bedroom/den with an exposed brick wall adds character. This space could serve as a nursery, TV room, or reading nook—whichever suits your style. All upstairs rooms have been refreshed with designer carpeting, a modern paint palette, and updated closets, including an all-cedar hall/linen closet with Elfa built-ins. The fully finished lower level was previously used as a separate living unit, offering a private suite with a living area, dining space, and kitchenette (as-is), along with a shared washer/dryer. This level has been newly carpeted and painted, with a new through-the-wall heating/AC unit—perfect for guests, rental income, or additional living space. Live at the center of it all. 1477 Florida Ave NW offers an unbeatable location at the foot of Meridian Hill Park and Columbia Heights. Enjoy an endless array of restaurants, cafés, boutiques, and cultural hotspots. Just steps from 14th Street, you’ll have easy access to renowned dining like Maydan, Le Dip, Rooster & Owl, and Compass Rose, plus eclectic shopping and entertainment along U Street. For commuters, the U Street Metro is a seven-minute walk, and Columbia Heights Metro is just ten minutes away. Capital Bikeshare stations and multiple bus lines provide quick access to downtown DC and beyond. Outdoor lovers will appreciate being near Meridian Hill Park for green space, yoga sessions, and the famous Sunday drum circle. Looking for a night out? The 9:30 Club, Howard Theatre, and Black Cat are all within easy reach for live music and performances.
