831 3rd St NE Townhouse

Welcome to 831 3RD ST NE. This elegant row home was lovingly remodeled by the owners, and is the realization of what they dream about doing in their own home. Nicked named the Karoline after the owner’s great-grandmother, may it provide a peaceful household for whoever calls it home. Before discussing the finer points of the home’s interior, let’s talk about location. Spoiler alert: The location is fantastic. A walker’s paradise! Standing at the tri-corners of the Atlas District anchored by all that H Street has to offer, NoMa with its modern urban amenities, and the old-world charm of Capital Hill — everything you could possibly need is within a 10 minute. Whole Foods: 3 blocks away - Giant: 200 feet - Indigo (city’s best Indian restaurant): is 2 blocks - CVS, Metro, Amtrak, Union Station, REI, Harris Teeter, Five Guys, Shake Shack, Starbucks, etc. You’ll never need a car, but if you do have a car, you can park off-street in the back of the house. Such a fantastic location demands an equally uncompromising interior. Except the two full baths, the entire home has site-finished hardwood floors. This means there are no unsightly grooves in-between the slats of wood flooring. Beyond offering a luxurious aesthetic, it also provides a softer touch underfoot. Solid core doors in 7’ doorways provide a stately feel of permanence. New windows optimized for weather insulation and keeping out unwanted noise were also installed throughout the home. And the high-efficiency gas furnace and A/C with internet accessible controls ensure comfortable temperatures all-year round. The first floor was designed to feel as open as possible. A broad expansive space with large windows for sunlight invite you lounge on the couch and read a book, or invite your friends over for game night without feeling trapped in a tiny living room. The kitchen features new appliances with granite countertop and a large sink for soaking your cookware and a dishwasher for all others. What will surely be the envy of your friends is the built-in induction stove top. If you’ve never had one you’ll wonder how you did with out; instant heat and an effortlessly cleanable glass cooktop — Gas stoves with their heavy cast iron grills will seem antiquated and needlessly cumbersome by comparison. The range hood will also delight you because it actually vents outside, inside of just recirculating the air. To complete the open floor plan there are no overhead cabinets in the kitchen. Instead, modern lower cabinets with large pullout drawers handle all of your storage needs. The second floor has a Master Bedroom with Master bath, two additional bedrooms and another full bathroom. Soaring 13 foot ceilings in the two front bedrooms and the luxurious master bathroom. Ceiling fans in every bedroom. Whisper quiet bathroom fans that keep the air fresh without sounding like an idling turbo-twin prop. Basement storage can be made available and other customizations can be made. Have questions, just ask! Whatever you do, don’t want to apply!
