Some homes are simply beautiful. Others tell a story. At 1344 Girard Street NW, you'll find both. Originally constructed in 1910, this remarkable home has been meticulously restored to honor its architectural heritage while embracing the comforts of modern living. Offering more than 3,500 square feet above grade, secure two car parking, multiple outdoor spaces, and a separately metered above grade rental unit with a Certificate of Occupancy, this is a rare opportunity to own one of central Washington's most distinctive residences. From the moment you step inside, the craftsmanship is unforgettable. A dramatic four story staircase rises beneath a skylight, framed by ornate original railings, substantial newel posts, and beautifully preserved millwork. Decorative fireplaces, hardwood floors, restored wood doors, picture rails, and elegant pocket doors showcase the home's early twentieth century artistry. The comprehensive 2018 renovation was approached with remarkable restraint and care, preserving these irreplaceable details while introducing a stunning gourmet kitchen with professional grade appliances, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and sophisticated finishes. Luxurious bathrooms, including a primary suite with a claw foot soaking tub and separate walk in shower, create a seamless balance between history and contemporary design. The scale of the home is equally impressive. Four generously sized bedrooms across the upper levels provide exceptional flexibility for guest accommodations, home offices, creative spaces, or additional living areas. Oversized windows fill the interiors with natural light, while three distinct outdoor retreats including a deck off the kitchen, rooftop deck, and private patio extend the living space outdoors. The above grade one bedroom rental unit offers valuable flexibility for supplemental income, long term guests, or future lifestyle needs, all while maintaining its own entrance and Certificate of Occupancy. Beyond the front door, you'll enjoy one of the city's most connected locations. Positioned near the midpoint of the vibrant 14th Street corridor, the home provides effortless access to countless restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, parks, and neighborhood destinations stretching from Columbia Heights through Logan Circle. Mount Pleasant, U Street, Shaw, and Adams Morgan are all moments away, creating an urban lifestyle defined by convenience, culture, and exceptional walkability. This is a home that celebrates both Washington's architectural legacy and everything that makes living in the heart of the city so rewarding.
