Behind the stately 19th-century fae7;ade of this Second Empire rowhome just off Logan Circle lies a story of transformation - a dramatic blend of history and cutting-edge luxury that redefines modern living. Originally constructed in 1876 and masterfully reimagined in a sweeping 2023 renovation, this home has not only preserved… Read More its architectural roots but elevated them to extraordinary heights. This residence is more than just a place to live - it's a work of art. Spanning three finished levels plus a self-contained English basement, this extraordinary property offers over 3,000 square feet of curated, sophisticated living. As you step through the front door, the grandeur of the main residence unfolds with soaring twelve-foot ceilings. The light-filled living room is anchored by a striking Art Deco marble mantle imported from France, while the dining area transitions effortlessly into the custom Porcelanosa kitchen. Here, no detail has been overlooked, from the Miele appliances and Thermador paneled refrigerator to the show-stopping Nero Tunisi marble island that perfectly balances form and function. Every detail feels intentional, every finish flawless. Ascend the original floating staircase, a piece of art in its own right, to discover the home's next act. Here, a dramatic open family room doubles as a gallery, framed by a French Steel door that opens to a serene private terrace. This level also features a guest bedroom, ready to welcome visitors or double as a study, plus a Porcelanosa guest bathroom. On the top level, the primary suite is a sanctuary of natural light and indulgent design. The bedroom benefits from the innovative reverse mansard roof that allows for an expansive sun lit elevation underneath a contemporary vertical pavilion. The suite features custom Ligne Roset closets and a spa-like Porcelanosa bathroom with a freestanding soaking tub, rainfall shower, and heated floors. An additional guest suite or den with a nautical-inspired full bath complete the top level, offering versatility for the owners or guests. The perks don't stop there. The fully self-contained English basement, with its own entrances and utilities, offers endless possibilities: an au pair suite, in-law quarters, or even a long-term rental for extra income. The detached garage, a rarity in the neighborhood, brings both security and convenience. Outside, the vibrant energy of Logan Circle beckons, with Whole Foods, 14th Street's eclectic dining and shopping scene, and the best of DC just steps away. This architecturally driven renovation spares no detail. From state-of-the-art electrical, plumbing, and a 3-zone HVAC system to custom made Jeld-Wen historic windows and bespoke French Steel pivot doors, every element has been carefully considered. For peace of mind, there is even a fire suppression system and advanced security system. It's no surprise this renovation was recently honored in the Home & Design 2025 Design Excellence Awards. This home is truly a statement piece for those who demand the finest in architectural artistry and modern luxury.
