About This Home

As of October 2024

Welcome to 728 Fairmont Street NW, a recently updated Colonial rowhome perched at one of the higher elevations of Columbia Heights. This circa 1926 home welcomes you with a fieldstone retaining wall, through a terraced front yard with a River Rock patio at its top tier leading to an inviting front porch framed by two brick columns on a covered porch deck. With two finished levels, this property is deceptively spacious for its size and features recently refinished hardwood floors, the original newel post and staircase, and fluted columns that define the living and dining areas of the open floor plan home. The 150 Amp electrical service, copper and PVC plumbing, and other improvements to this home support the recent upgrades. The main level stays fully illuminated with LED recessed lighting throughout the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The dining room features a sputnik-inspired chandelier and hardwood floors.

The main level also has a new half bath with contemporary vanity fixtures and a laundry closet with a new stacked washer and dryer unit, as well as the mechanical closet with easy access for maintenance. The kitchen features new shaker-styled cabinetry with white solid surface countertops with grey veining, stainless steel appliances including a double door refrigerator with bottom freezer, dishwasher with stainless steel interior, built-in microwave, and deep bowl under-mounted stainless steel sink, and a natural gas range. A half-view kitchen door provides views of the large rear deck that spans the width of the house with a quick connection for a natural gas grill, a low-maintenance river rock backyard perfect for larger outdoor entertaining, a storage shed in addition to storage potential under the deck, and a secure one-car parking pad with vehicular and pedestrian rear gates and a parking pad outside of the rear gate for your 2nd car and/or guests.

The second level boasts 3 bedrooms and an updated hall bath with a new vanity, lighting, and medicine cabinet, subway-tiled tub surround, tub, and newer flooring. The rear bedroom (largest of the 3) has 2 southern exposure windows, a contemporary ceiling fan with light, new carpeting, and two closets including the mirrored closet in the sitting area. The larger of the two front bedrooms has two northern exposure windows, a contemporary ceiling fan, and new carpet. The smallest of the three bedrooms has 1 northern exposure window, a contemporary ceiling fan, new carpet, and a modest closet.

Centrally located in Washington DC's Columbia Heights, this home is 1.5 blocks from Howard University and convenient to restaurants in the Georgia Ave, 11th Street, 14th Street, and U Street corridors, grocery stores (Harris Teeter, Giant, Safeway, Whole Foods, Streets, Yes, and Trader Joe's), coffee shops (La Colombe Coffee Roasters, Starbucks, Tynan Coffee and Tea), gyms (Washington Sports Clubs, Anthony Bowen Branch YMCA), Wine Bars and Beer Garden, and stylish boutiques, all while being perched on a tree-lined street. This location has an 88 walk score, 80 bike score, and 78 ride score (public transportation) near Metro Rail and Bus.
