The Unicorn of Columbia Heights Has Arrived (And It Has Solar Panels!) Cancel your weekend tours and stop your scrolling. You've just found the real estate equivalent of a winning lottery ticket. Welcome to this completely renovated 2,350-square-foot, 4-bedroom (plus a dedicated den/office!), 2.5-bathroom corner row house in the beating heart of Columbia Heights. Let's talk about light. Because this is a corner house, you get glorious, mood-boosting sunshine pouring in from three different sides. Inside, it's all classic DC charm meets modern luxury. You'll find stunning interior archways, elegant crown molding, and chair-rails that make you feel downright aristocratic just walking past them. And the floors? Gleaming cherry oak hardwood everywhere. Let's be honest, nothing beats the pristine, low-maintenance aesthetic of real wood over dusty carpets. The kitchen is ready for your culinary genius, featuring granite countertops, a gas stove, a dishwasher/disposal, and wait for it TWO fridges. That's right, double the fridge space. It's an absolute necessity for storing the mountain of groceries you'll be walking home with from the recently opened Whole Foods just a few blocks away. Speaking of the neighborhood, you are steps from the phenomenal dining scenes on 11th Street and U Street, plus a short stroll to both the Columbia Heights and U Street Metros. It's the ultimate launchpad whether you're commuting to work or just hunting down the best local bingsu dessert spots in the city. But when you want to escape the urban buzz, step outside. You have a private fenced back patio AND a side yard so massive it feels like a glitch in the DC matrix. Outdoor space this big in the middle of the District is basically an urban legend, yet here it is. Now, for the really smart part: This house is SOLAR powered. Those sleek newly installed panels on the roof are going to actively slash your electric bill and let you casually drop the fact that you're contributing to a renewable-energy-powered city at your next dinner party. Plus, you get not one, but two separate HVAC systems for pinpoint, energy-efficient temperature control year-round. Complete with an in-unit washer/dryer, naturally. Available June 1. Properties with this exact cocktail of space, luxury, and location don't just sit on the market; they get snatched up immediately by the smartest person in the room. Act fast, and make sure that person is you. Tenants pay all utilities - but thanks to solar panels powering the electric, utility costs are significantly below average for a property of this size. Minimum year lease. Pet considered. No smoking.
