1649 Harvard Street

Washington, DC 20009

High on the Harvard Street terrace only blocks from the entrance to Rock Creek Park and the National Zoo, sits this beautiful south-facing, semi-detached Classical Revival style home that brings serenity and city living together. Built in 1914, the home has been lovingly maintained with an eye to preserving the period's character. Details like original wood doors with brass and glass knobs and hardware refinished parquet flooring with chestnut in-lay throughout, blown glass windows, and original French doors, set this home apart. Exterior French doors open into a lovely entry foyer that leads to a spacious living room with a working fireplace and baby grand piano, a large dining room with beautiful batten molding, and an adjoining kitchen with handmade cabinetry. The upstairs features a master bedroom suite with a full bath and an adjoining office, three more bedrooms and another full bath. In the finished basement is an additional bedroom and full bath along with laundry and utility rooms. Park your car in the garage under the house from the alley entrance and/or use the driveway as an additional parking space. Exit the kitchen door or dining room French doors to a charming screened-in back porch, then out to a lovely back patio and side garden. Welcome home!
