Occupying an entire private wing of the historic Tilden Gardens cooperative, this sun-drenched three-bedroom, two-bath residence offers a rare combination of scale, light, and character in one of Washington’s most celebrated prewar addresses. Nineteen double-hung windows — recently refurbished with the original wood and glass — wrap three exposures, filling every room with natural light and framing views of the community’s renowned five acres of landscaped gardens, mature trees, and the Melvin Hazen Victory Garden just across the street. The gracious 18-by-22-foot living room features built-in bookcases, art display lighting, and space enough for a grand piano. A formal dining room opens to the architect-designed kitchen, where custom cabinetry, polished granite countertops, and generous counter and storage space far exceed what is typical for the building. The corner primary bedroom enjoys garden views and an ensuite bath, while two additional bedrooms — one currently configured as a handsome home office — share a second full bath. Throughout, oak hardwood floors, 9-foot plaster ceilings, and elegant archways reflect the solid 1920s Tudor Revival construction that earned Tilden Gardens its place in James Goode’s “Best Addresses.” The cooperative fee includes heat, water, real estate taxes, building maintenance, and use of the free laundry facility. Residents enjoy staffed front desk service, guest suites, on-site storage, and on-site parking by waitlist. Steps to Rock Creek Park trails, the Sedgwick Street community gardens, and two blocks from Connecticut Avenue shops, restaurants, and the Cleveland Park and Van Ness Metro stations. No transfer or recordation taxes apply to this cooperative sale.
