5240 Colorado Ave NW

Now Offered at $1,049,900 — The Smartest Buy in 16th Street Heights. This gracious, sun-drenched end-unit row home is larger than most. Built during the Roaring 20's, it blends timeless architectural detail with thoughtful modern upgrades, creating a rare balance of historic charm and everyday convenience. Step inside to discover original oak hardwood floors, elegant crown molding, and a wood-burning fireplace that anchors the inviting living room. Formal and casual spaces flow seamlessly, offering the flexibility to host lively gatherings or retreat into quiet corners. The award-winning kitchen is a true showpiece: custom stained-glass cabinetry, stainless steel ovens, and granite counters bring together Art Deco artistry and modern functionality. A clever pantry with laundry and a stylish powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, the sunlit primary suite — fully renovated in 2024 — offers a custom walk-in closet and a marble-clad bath with walk-in shower and Toto smart bidet. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath with soaking tub complete the second level. The partially finished attic adds even more versatility, ideal for a fourth bedroom, home office, or creative studio. The lower level, currently used for storage, provides a blank canvas for a spacious rec room, play space, or home gym. Outside, enjoy the deck overlooking a low-maintenance luxury turf yard, patio, privacy fencing, and a detached garage with EV charging. Additional upgrades include custom closets, a replaced porch roof (2015), high-velocity ductless central AC, combi furnace/water heater, and solar panels by Solar Solutions to keep utilities efficient. All this a mere block from Rock Creek Park, Carter Barron Amphitheater, tennis courts, and scenic trails — with easy access to Moreland's Tavern, Uptown Farmers Market and other local shops and eateries that make up Uptown Main Street. And downtown DC is a mere 10 minutes away. *Owner is a Realtor.
