1315 Gallatin St NW, Washington, DC, 20011

OPEN HOUSES: Sat May 18th 12-4pm & Sun May 19th 12-4pm***Welcome to 1315 Gallatin St NW -- the single most fantastic opportunity to hit the market in the 16th Street Heights / Brightwood area in years! This architectural gem will provide its new owners with all of those things on everyone's real estate wishlist: plenty of preserved period details, original hardwood floors with in-laid accents and one-of-a-kind touches, brilliantly restored banisters and panelling, mastercrafted moulding and tin ceilings, and an absolutely exquisite floorplan that is just flooded with light from oversized windows on multiple exposures. As you walk up to the home, you're greeted by an oversized front porch that overlooks the roses, irises, and other plantings in the front yard. And from the moment you enter the front door, you're whisked back in time to when grand homes like this one were bustling with activity from DC's finest. Originally built in 1913, you'll be immediately impressed with the layout, function, and ample spaces as the home stretches across nearly 3500 square feet on 4 finished levels. The first floor boasts a formal entry foyer, a massive living room, an oversized formal dining room with a lovely fireplace, and a chef-inspired and recently updated kitchen that featured stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and PLENTY of cabinet space. Upstairs, on the 2nd floor you'll find 4 oversized bedrooms and 1 full bathroom, and up one level further, on the 3rd floor, there are two additional bedrooms and 1 more full bath. The walk-out basement is presently used for storage, but has a full height ceiling and a separate utility room. This 6-bedroom and 2.5 bathroom property shows well and is move-in ready, but we're confident that the new owners will want to make small cosmetic updates to suit their own tastes and styles. The home is prominently positioned on an oversized lot, and the back yard is just waiting for your personal touches. A large brick patio creates an inviting and desired space for al fresco dining our outdoor entertaining. There is plenty of room for an addition, a garden, or anything else your imagination can think of. Rounding out this super special and unique home is the detached three car garage that has been converted to an art-studio. While one of the garage bays has been closed off, it could easily be re-configured to house a car collection. They say real estate is all about location, location, location --- and we can't agree more. You're directly across from the recently renovated John Lewis Elementary school, so you've you a playground and sports fields right across the street! Three blocks away you've got entrances to Rock Creek Park, so if outdoor adventures are up your alley, you can't ask for a better spot! Just north is Silver Spring, with world-class entertainment, dining, shopping, and retail, and downtown DC is less than 2 miles away. The vibrant Kennedy Street corridor is walking distance, and Highlands is your neighborhood hangout. You are moments to Georgia Avenue or 14th Street, so you're able to quickly and easily access all parts of the City. Don't miss your chance to make this exceptional property your own, as the possibilities are truly endless. We don't suspect this one will last long!
