5218 1ST STREET, Washington, DC 20011

A Distinctive Tudor-Style Home with Character You Don’t Find Every Day Not every Washington, DC home has a floor plan or architectural character like this. Welcome to 5218 1st Street NW, Washington, DC 20011, a distinctive Tudor-style home where classic architecture, solar panels, thoughtful improvements, and flexible living spaces come together beautifully. Offered at $724, 900, this three-level home features 3 bedrooms plus a den, 2 full and 1 half baths, a private primary bath, a new kitchen, new energy-efficient windows, hardwood floors, two fireplaces, a finished basement, a laundry room, and a detached garage. Seller-provided data indicates that the solar panel output exceeds the home’s electricity consumption, resulting in significant utility savings. The personality of the home reveals itself the moment you step inside. A welcoming foyer with a coat closet provides a proper entry before you step into the living room. Here, impressive lighting, warm hardwood floors, and a beautiful Art Deco iron railing create a striking transition into the main living space. Then your eye is drawn to one of the home’s most distinctive architectural features: a historic picture window that has been preserved, while the other windows have been replaced. Framing the room with natural light and a connection to the home’s past, it is a feature that cannot be recreated with a renovation. The cozy living room with fireplace invites you to settle in, while the adjoining dining room provides a gracious setting for dinner parties, holidays, and everyday gatherings. The new kitchen brings a fresh, updated feel to the heart of the home, and the adjoining breakfast room creates another inviting space for Morning coffee, casual meals or conversation. This is not a predictable, cookie-cutter floor plan. Each room has a purpose, yet the spaces flow together in a way that gives the home warmth, dimension, and personality. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, a light-filled den/home office, and 2 full bathrooms. The primary bedroom features the privacy of its own ensuite bath, while a second full hall bath serves the additional bedrooms. The den provides valuable flexibility for today’s lifestyle, whether used as a dedicated home office, reading room, study, or creative retreat. And there is still another level to discover. The finished basement expands the home’s living possibilities with a second fireplace and half bath. Create a family room, media room, fitness space, hobby area, or comfortable overflow for guests. A dedicated laundry area with a new washer and dryer adds everyday convenience. Outside, 5218 continues to deliver. Relax on the front porch, enjoy the rear outdoor living space, and appreciate the convenience of a detached garage with off-street parking. Start the day with eastern sunrise views and enjoy the glow of western sunsets at day’s end. Just outside the front door, a neighborhood triangle park adds something even more difficult to reproduce: a sense of community. On pleasant evenings, it becomes a natural gathering place where neighbors come together, an inviting extension of life at 5218. The home also features solar panels, adding an energy-conscious dimension to ownership. With convenient access to public transportation and destinations throughout Washington, DC, the location adds another layer of everyday convenience. 5218 1st Street NW isn’t simply another 3-bedroom home for sale in Washington, DC.
