Welcome to 1463 Florida Ave. Charming 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom townhouse with historical features, high ceilings, original heart-pine wood floors, and bay windows. A move-in ready urban oasis in the walk-able historic U Street neighborhood.
Set back and up from the street, the front patio and wrought-iron steps welcome you to into this delightful home. The appealing entry opens into the light-filled living room with original exposed wood molding and fireplace mantle. A dedicated dining space and powder room are perfect for entertaining. The kitchen opens onto a grilling space and the recently-renovated tranquil back patio.
Built-in bookcases and a skylight greet you as you climb the stairs to the second floor with its 3 bedrooms and full bath. The large, sunny primary bedroom has generous built-in storage. The back bedroom/office looks out onto the serene patio with a Juliet balcony.
The spacious basement with separate front entrance can be used as another living area, TV room, or bedroom along with an adjoining office space and newly added attractive full bathroom.
The back patio, retaining walls, fencing, metalwork, concrete, and terracing were professionally completed by Shorb Landscaping in collaboration with a structural engineer (May 2024). The area was fully re-graded and rebuilt from the kitchen level up, including terracing, proper drainage, and new French drains at the terrace level.
Located in the historic U Street neighborhood just steps from Meridian Hill park, award-winning restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, gyms, and just 10 min walk to U street metro. In-bounds for popular Marie Reed bilingual elementary school.
