Welcome to Authentic DC Urban Living
This beautifully renovated 1,384 sq ft rowhouse in vibrant Columbia Heights offers the real Washington DC experience - not a sanitized tourist bubble, but genuine city living with character and charm.
The Space
Our south-facing home features 4 bedrooms (1 King, 2 Queens, 1 Double), 2 full baths, and sleeps up to 8 in beds (9 including the couch). The open-concept main floor flows seamlessly from living room to kitchen, while upstairs bedrooms provide peaceful retreats.
Recent full 2019 renovations include new appliances, luxury vinyl floors and modern plumbing & electrical upgrades.
2025 Upgrades Include:
- Brand new HVAC system for perfect climate control
- New designer backyard oasis with fire pit, outdoor seating, & BBQ

Your Urban Outdoor Spaces
The magic happens outside: Our extended front porch is your box seat to taking in DC's colorful neighborhood life - watch locals gather, sip wine at sunset, smoke what's legal, and feel the city's pulse.
The private backyard hideaway offers an intimate escape with fire pit, grill, and designer furnishings. Both spaces welcome whatever helps you unwind (what's legal is good with us).
