About 437 Kenyon St Nw
Welcome to this beautifully updated 1914 Park View rowhome, offering just over 2,000 square feet of living space, a separate legal one-bedroom rental unit, multiple outdoor spaces and off-street parking for two cars—all while preserving the architectural character that makes historic DC homes so special.
The spacious main residence features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and a main-level powder room, with a wonderful blend of original details and thoughtful modern updates. Step inside to a beautiful entryway where an exposed brick wall continues up the staircase, setting the tone for the home's classic character. Beautifully refinished original hardwood floors and impressive 10-foot ceilings extend throughout the entire main residence, while beautiful natural light fills the home, enhancing its open and airy feel. Storage is another standout, with an abundance of large closets throughout, including a generous coat closet in the welcoming entry.
At the heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, featuring Bosch appliances, gas cooking, gorgeous countertops, a large island and pantry, along with a separate table-space area perfect for casual, everyday dining. In addition to the kitchen's table space, the home offers a more formal dining room that flows into the living room, creating a spacious and inviting layout equally suited to relaxed daily living and entertaining.
Upstairs, beautiful architectural details continue with original doors and transoms. The primary suite offers a relaxing retreat with a spa-like ensuite bath featuring a double-sink vanity with marble countertop, marble flooring and an oversized walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms share a full hall bath with tub, and a dedicated linen closet provides even more storage.
Enjoy outdoor living from both the front and rear decks, and leave the car at home—or bring two—with a private rear driveway offering off-street parking for two vehicles.
Adding tremendous versatility is the home's separate legal lower-level unit, complete with 1 bedroom, 1 full bath, plenty of storage and its own kitchen featuring white cabinetry, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Ideal for rental income, guests or extended living, this additional residence provides options rarely found in a classic DC rowhome.
Located in the heart of Park View, the home is walking distance to both the Petworth and Columbia Heights Metro stations (Green and Yellow Lines), neighborhood dining, shopping and nightlife, the exciting Reservoir District and Washington Hospital Center. Multiple bus lines service the surrounding corridor, linking directly to downtown DC. For cyclists, designated east/west and north/south bike lanes are right outside the front door, providing easy connections throughout the city. And, with a 95 out of 100 walk score, it is also a Walker's Paradise. Bring your furry friends- minutes from neighborhood green spaces including Wangari Gardens, the Columbia Heights Water Park, DPR Headquarters, and the Powell Recreation Center.
Historic character, beautiful natural light, generous storage, modern amenities, income potential, two-car parking and exceptional outdoor space come together in one special Park View home.
