521 E Street NEWashington, DC 20002

Description

This commanding corner stands just steps from Stanton Park, Union Station, the U.S. Capitol, and Union Market. Savor the striking architectural statement from every angle, with expansive projecting bays, ornate masonry details, slate turret rooflines, and preserved original finials from the Victorian era. Dramatic side porch and cross-cut stairs evoke a sense of old Savannah. If walls could talk, the stories they would tell! Inside, the master craftsmen of Schmidt Development have completely rebuilt the residence with all-new floors, walls, windows, wiring, plumbing, and state-of-the-art systems. The work leverages new technologies, but remains firmly rooted in tradition: Hand-crafted plaster walls, white oak floors, solid brass hardware, and hardwood cabinets bring natural texture and enduring quality throughout. On the main level, grand central staircase is book-ended by dramatic living/dining room in the East wing and fully custom eat-in kitchen on the West. Upstairs, two private bed+bath suites each with walk-in closet. Below, another bedroom and bath alongside spacious den/library for entertaining, guests, home office, or extended stays. Outside, wrap-around gardens gently embrace the home, leading to brick garden walls and intimate patio for quiet mornings or sunset cocktails. Inspired by the graceful notes and layered history of New Orleans, Paris, or Charleston, the home displays diplomatic discretion and foreign-service sophistication to deliver a property that is distinctly Washingtonian.
