2005 1st St NW

Open House this Sunday 4/12 from 12-2pm! Built in 1909, this stunning four-level Victorian stands as a true testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era, lovingly preserved while offering the flexibility and space that today's buyers dream about. Nestled in the heart of historic Bloomingdale, just steps from the tranquil beauty of Crispus Attucks Park, this is not simply a home — it is a legacy property. Spanning seven bedrooms and four full bathrooms across four generous levels, the home opens into a sun-drenched, open-concept living and dining area that invites both grand entertaining and everyday comfort. Original Victorian architectural details — soaring ceilings, rich millwork, and timeless proportions — flow throughout. The main level offers two bedrooms and a full bath, providing rare single-floor living options in an otherwise expansive layout. Ascend to the first upper level, where three additional bedrooms and a full bath provide ample space for family or guests. The top level crowns the home with two more bedrooms and a full bath — a serene retreat with elevated views of the neighborhood's iconic rooflines and treetops. Perhaps the crown jewel of this extraordinary property is the full English basement, a self-contained world unto itself. Complete with a kitchenette, a private bedroom, and a full bath, the basement is accessible both from the main level interior and independently from the rear of the home — making it perfectly suited as an income-producing rental unit, an au pair or in-law suite, or a private guest retreat. The flexibility here is virtually unmatched. Outside, Crispus Attucks Park sets the tone for a neighborhood that rewards those who love to live well and live locally. Red Hen, Etabli, Aroi Sushi, and Boundary Stone are all within easy walking distance — everything from a perfect date night to a casual neighborhood pint. Families will find LeDroit Park Recreation Center just nearby, and the long-anticipated grocery store coming to the Reservoir District at the historic McMillan site just down the street will bring the one missing convenience to a neighborhood that already has everything else.
