About This Home

1738 1st St Nw

Experience the quintessential Bloomingdale lifestyle in this grand, four-level Victorian masterpiece, perfectly positioned at the heart of the historic neighborhood—just steps from the iconic Red Hen and Big Bear Café. Merging historic soul with modern efficiency, this bay-front residence boasts over 2,700 square feet of curated living space (plus 400 Sq. Ft. in the upper attic), featuring original carved mantels, soaring ceilings, and a dramatic turning staircase. Step into history with unique architectural details, including a meticulously preserved historic 1900’s mosaic floors and entrance hallway walls with rhomboid geometric pattern, a sophisticated nod to the home’s Victorian roots, providing a durable and artistic foundation that seamlessly blends with the property’s modern upgrades. The main residence offers a flexible 4-bedroom layout plus a massive, sunbathed attic—a versatile "bonus level" ideal for a creative studio, quiet home office, or expansive playroom. Beyond the aesthetics, the home is a savvy financial asset: the fully separated 1-BR English Basement (complete with C of O) provides immediate, reliable rental income from established tenants who wish to remain. Thoughtfully maintained with a focus on longevity, this home offers the rare trifecta of preserved historic character, turnkey convenience, and significant built-in equity. Step outside to your private, fenced rear sanctuary—the perfect urban escape for al fresco dining or weekend gardening. With a stellar 91 Walk Score, you are moments from the Sunday Farmers Market, Shaw/Howard Metro, and the highly anticipated Reservoir District development. Whether you are looking for a grand primary residence with a mortgage-offsetting rental or a high-performing addition to your portfolio, this is an unparalleled opportunity to own in one of DC’s most storied and dynamic enclaves.
