About This Home
As of October 2024Welcome to 1617 Marion Street! We are very honored that you have considered purchasing our home. Although we have only lived here a very short while, my husband and I consider this one of our favorite homes that we have ever owned, nestled in the heart of a fantastic city. After falling in love with the neighborhood and the DMV area, we bought this home never intending to move again. However, we received an unexpected and incredible professional opportunity closer to our family in the Midwest and had to take it. In our short time here, this home has provided us with so many wonderful memories and it is truly with a heavy heart we say goodbye.
About the neighborhood, we have found that we live in the heart of everything social we could ever want to be part of. Even for those commutes just outside of the city [Arlington, Reagan National Airport, etc.], we have a Green and Yellow Metro line just within steps of our home to be anywhere in the city or beyond. There are coffee shops, bars (both wine, cocktail and beer - Datcha, Maxwells), world-class restaurants (Oyster Oyster, Chaplins, Nina May, 14th Street), and parks all within our reach. We are dog lovers, so our dogs have had free range to explore the city with us too, including several nearby dog parks. Yet, when we just want to be "done" with the city, we are always a quick walk back to our home and we feel that this place is our own sanctuary. We have spent a great deal to help create a backyard space that it relaxing and functional, all the while, filled with flora that is truly unique to city living (Japanese Maple tree, a fig tree that does not shy on production value, and a weeping Cherry tree that is an amazement to the eye). Additionally, we have the freedom to park our vehicle back there. Amazingly, this quiet little street is often "forgotten about," which is okay with us. Lifelong residents of DC have made numerous comments to us that they didn't even know this little street existed, which makes us feel like we have found this little oasis within the big city. Lastly, our neighbors are simply the best! We all look out for each other, take care of our homes and our street, and never miss the opportunity to chat when we are outside. Admittedly, we think we will miss them the most. As two people who moved here really knowing no one, we have found that this home has allowed us to be part of the city, all the while, making indelible memories that we will cherish forever.
Although our journey is taking us away much sooner than we expected, we hope that you feel what we have felt in this home and neighborhood and experience the joy that has forever embraced our hearts. Thank you for considering our lovely home!
