Description
Set on one of Mount Pleasant's most beautiful tree-lined streets, this stately all-brick rowhome with its architectural character is a statement piece that makes this historic neighborhood one of Washington's most treasured. Its commanding facade and welcoming front porch set the tone for a home that has kept its historic integrity while adding the comforts of modern living.
Spanning four finished levels with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, the home offers a generous scale rare in the city. Hardwood floors and period charm run throughout.
Step through the front door into a gracious entry hall. To the right, the large living room is anchored by a decorative fireplace with its original mantel. The beautiful staircase features a custom storage bench, and a convenient half bath is tucked beneath it. The spacious dining room sits just off the kitchen, making it ideal for entertaining. In the kitchen, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry provides abundant storage, and a door leads directly out to the deck and backyard.
The second level offers three well-proportioned bedrooms and a full bath with a classic claw-foot tub. The rear bedroom opens onto a private balcony, a perfect spot to sit and relax. A linen closet completes this level. The top floor is devoted to a spacious primary suite with a huge walk-in closet and a beautifully tiled bath with a glass-enclosed shower and linen closet.
The finished lower level adds valuable flexibility, with a large living area, kitchenette, bedroom, and full bath. It works well as a guest suite, recreation space, home office, or potential income opportunity. The laundry area sits between the main home and the lower level, so both levels have easy access.
Recent updates in the last three years include a new main roof, updated decking, and new mini-split AC units on the second and third floors.
Out back, the large deck overlooks a stunning hardscaped, fully fenced backyard that offers a private retreat for grilling, dining al fresco, and relaxing under the trees. Two dedicated parking spaces sit just beyond the fence.
Beyond your front door, all of Mount Pleasant awaits. Rock Creek Park is moments away, with miles of trails for hiking, biking, and running. Downtown Mount Pleasant is a short stroll, where you'll find neighborhood coffee shops, favorites like Del Monte and Elle, Each Peach Market, and the beloved weekend farmer's market. Columbia Heights, 16th Street, bus lines, and Metro are all close by, which makes commuting simple.
Historic character, generous space, and an unbeatable location come together at 1850 Park Rd NW. It's a rare chance to own a distinguished home in one of D.C.'s most charming neighborhoods.
