**OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 10-12 (9/19)** Eckington is the place to be.  This modern townhome sits right on the edge of it and Shaw, just one block to DC's Bloomingdale and the prized Sunday market by Big Bear Cafe.  The privilege of strolling down to grab french pastries and fresh fruit to have with morning coffee, after exchanging smiles with a few neighbors along the way, is just the beginning of life you can enjoy without even needing to own a car.  Several city bus stops are steps away, as are multiple metro stations including the NoMa-Gallaudet and the new City Center.  Just wait until Eckington Yards is complete!  *$250 metro fare card at closing to get you started. Step in, and go all the way up!  To the penthouse levels of this 2017 re-made townhome with 8 ft doors, soaring coffered ceilings and skylights, in wide open spaces that all lets in so much natural light you may forget you have recessed and custom lighting in every room.  Something for everyone, in the open living room, cozy dining nook that surrounds you with windows and a view of R Street, a stylish bedroom with private balcony for fresh air, and a gorgeous ensuite bathroom for a fresh start.  The stunning kitchen is at the heart of the home with all the cabinets, granite counters and stainless appliances to please any aspiring chef, or whoever is lucky enough to enjoy the sounds and smells of home, seated front row at the island.  You may call it an early evening retreat just so you can take your time unwinding in the upper level bedrooms, each with their own lux baths - the primary suite is especially enchanting with a nook of built-ins waiting to be your corner library (also lets you peek outside before selecting your wardrobe), and a bathroom larger and more elegant than most tiny homes.  Just add your favorite salts, tunes, and maybe a read you can't put down.
