Listing Description

At 2,142 square feet across two levels, this is one of the larger rowhomes in Truxton Circle, with four bedrooms where most houses on these blocks top out at two or three, plus a private water garden with pond. The house makes its case before you reach the door.

A brick-and-iron garden wall encloses a private front garden built around a stone-edged pond, framed in layered flagstone and shaded by a Japanese maple. It's a rare spot in the city for morning coffee, with the sound of moving water drowning out the street.

Above it is a painted-brick facade with a bay window and the original cornice line, looking out across P Street at a row of colorful historic homes. Inside, a working fireplace anchors the main level, with hardwood floors throughout and fresh paint from top to bottom.

Upstairs, matching LVP runs through four well-proportioned bedrooms, every one of them a real bedroom rather than an office with a closet. A brand-new HVAC system, new appliances, a full bath and a half bath complete the interior. Out back, a concrete pad off the alley adds a second outdoor space.

The location is what sets this house apart. Truxton Circle sits in the middle of the neighborhoods people move to this part of DC for. Shaw's restaurants, Bloomingdale's cafes and seasonal farmers market, NoMa's shopping and Mount Vernon Triangle are all close by, and the Shaw-Howard U Metro is about half a mile away.

Giant at 7th & O covers groceries, and Bundy Playground and the Dunbar Aquatic Center are moments from the door. P Street itself stays quiet and tree-lined, with brick sidewalks, a block removed from the bustle of North Capitol. You get the space, a private water garden, a working fireplace and a location that connects Shaw, Bloomingdale and NoMa, all in one house.

A welcoming facade and bay window provide timeless curb appeal, while the interior offers generous space and plenty of potential to create a home that reflects your own vision and style. Whether updating existing features or planning a more extensive transformation, there is room here to make something special.

Located on a residential block with convenient access to the surrounding Shaw, Truxton Circle, and Mount Vernon Square neighborhoods, the location puts dining, shopping, transportation, and everyday conveniences within easy reach. Bring your ideas and discover the possibilities at this classic DC home. A wonderful opportunity to create your own space while enjoying all that city living has to offer!
