500 L St NE

Simply unparalleled. Exuding a stately coolness, you don't expect to find almost 4,500 square feet of renovated home inside this 1890s facade. This corner lot townhome, in one of DCs most exciting neighborhoods, has been renovated from head to toe, and the 6 bedrooms, 4.5 baths with multiple spectacular outdoor living spaces mean that you *can* have it all - expansive main level living spaces, a roofdeck with iconic DC views, a whole house elevator, unheard of 4-car parking, never ending windows and natural light, grassy yard, solar, potential rental income and much more.

Entering from the 5th Street garden arbor gates, you are greeted by a calming green space with mature privacy hedge landscaping bordering the side yard. The first of multiple outdoor living areas, this one calls for an evening firepit and s'mores, and there's plenty of grassy yard for Fido to run. Prefer a more intimate cocktail? The raised covered front porch awaits.


Inside the main level to this home, there are two sizable living rooms as well as an open kitchen and dining area and a built-in bar. Tall ceilings, crown molding, two bay window nooks and a chic exposed original brick wall give this space some real personality. There is plenty of room to stretch out and entertain in the kitchen - great prep counter space, wine fridge, stainless appliances including a large gas range with Thermador vent hood, abundant cabinetry, and a porcelain farmhouse sink. A powder room and an elevator, allowing access to all levels from basement to roof deck, complete this floor, and there are custom window treatments and hardwoods throughout.


Upstairs are 10' ceilings, and each of the three bedrooms has hardwood floors, crown molding, custom window treatments and its own full bath. The primary corner bedroom suite has windows galore and two large walk-in closets with custom shelving and cabinetry, plus a full en-suite bath. The middle bedroom has a large closet, tall west-facing windows and its own hallway bathroom. The third bedroom also has expansive windows, an en-suite bathroom, and plenty of space for a bed, office setup and seating - plus there's yet another generously sized outside deck, perfect for outdoor living. Great hallway storage and separate side-by side laundry finish this floor.

The cherry on top is the enormous upper level roofdeck, accessed via private elevator. The green turf, cedar privacy fence, gas grill hookup and multiple outdoor living areas make this space entertainment-central! With iconic city views that include the monuments and amazing sunsets, the twinkling string lights make this where you'll love to invite all your friends over or to kick up your feet at the end of the day.

With all of this, it's hard to believe there's yet another level! The separately metered lower level can be accessed either via the elevator or private front and back entrances. With tall ceilings, a full kitchen, separate laundry, living room, three more spacious bedrooms with great closets, plus one more full bath - this space provides endless opportunities. Use it for guests, an au-pair or in-law suite, an office, home gym, or investigate the rental potential.
When you want to step out from your urban oasis, you find yourself nestled directly between some of the hottest neighborhoods and amenities in DC.

Transit is convenient too - the NoMa metro and Union Station are just a couple blocks away.
This is the one you've been fantasizing about but didn't think existed. An immaculate expansive layout with exceptional outdoor living spaces, and other seldom found city amenities, all where you want to live. Your friends will be beating a path to your front door, and they'll be able to park too! What more could you want? Come, enjoy and rest easy - you're home.
