Summary:
Live like a local in this recently renovated, well-appointed classic-Dupont area English basement apartment with outdoor space, off-street parking and a location perfect for enjoying the best of city living at your doorstep! The immediate neighborhoods provide amazing options for dining at award-winning restaurants, shopping at boutiques or the Trader Joe's around the corner, working out at some of the most popular DC gyms and exploring the vibrant nightlife of Dupont Circle, Logan Circle, and U Street. Metrorail is two blocks away for easy access to Downtown for museums on the Mall, theatre in Penn Quarter or pro baseball in Navy Yards.
The Space:
The front garden entrance of the apartment opens to a lovely living room with a big leather couch for relaxing or watching the Smart TV. A nice selection of books is yours to enjoy to sit back, read and reflect after a busy day in the city.
The all-new full-sized kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances (fridge, stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher), Quartz countertops, and amenities including coffee maker, electric tea kettle, toaster oven, blender, cookware, dishes, and silverware. Next to the kitchen is a delightful dining area for enjoying 'home' cooked meals or a take-out from one of the many restaurants nearby. Or dine "al fresco" (in the open air) on the delightful deck, just up from the rear entrance at the dining area. Take a short walk a block or two for dessert at an ice cream parlor or a Cuban cafe.
You'll enjoy a wonderful night's sleep in the spacious bedroom with a comfortable Queen sized-bed. The room has bedside tables, dresser, and walk-in closet with plenty of clothes hangers and shoe racks. The desk and chair provide a well-lit working space; the unit offers strong WiFi for efficient work from home time during your stay.
The remodeled bathroom design features a roomy walk-in shower with tiled surround and glass sliding doors. The bathroom is fully stocked with essentials including shampoo, conditioner, body wash and moisturizer! There's a hair dryer too. Across the hall from the bathroom you will find the laundry closet with the clothes washer and dryer; detergent is provided for your convenience.
Enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine on the inviting rear deck of the townhouse. There is a coveted and a convenient parking spot off the street for one car.
Guest Access:
Guests will have complete access to this entire self-contained unit with two private entrances. Please note that the back deck is shared with the gracious owners who reside in the primary residence upstairs; they can put the sun umbrella out for you if you prefer the shade. While the unit has had soundproofing measures taken to limit noise transfer, you may hear some occasional everyday sounds (footsteps, the doors) but the owners are considerate and keep it to a minimum. They are available to help with dinner recommendations or advice about exploring the wonderful adjacent neighborhoods or beyond!
