Property Description
Welcome to 5505 13th Street NW, a rowhome that delivers size, style, and serious neighborhood cred in 16th Street Heights. With five bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, this home doesn't just check boxes — it kicks the boxes out of the way and gives you room to stretch. Renovated in recent years and refreshed again with fresh paint and newly refinished floors, it's move-in ready with all the charm still intact. Step inside and yes — you spotted it right away — a coat closet. In a DC rowhome. Miracles do happen. From there, take in the charm of the original staircase, soaring ceilings, and light that fills the living room. This layout strikes that perfect balance between open and defined, with the living room flowing into the kitchen featuring shaker cabinetry, solid surface counters, and stainless steel appliances. Hosting friends? The dining space is big enough for a long table (and a long guest list). Beyond that, a flex space begs for creativity — maybe your reading corner, plant jungle, or home office hideaway. A stylish half bath keeps things convenient. Step through French doors to your covered deck overlooking the backyard — perfect for grilling, coffee sipping, or people-watching your own backyard BBQ. The second floor has two generously sized front bedrooms with closets you'll actually use, sharing a full bath with marble tile and crisp white vanity. The primary bedroom maintains the entire rear of the home. Think spa-sized bathroom with dual vanities, massive dual-shower-head walk-in shower, and a closet that won't make you compromise. French doors open onto your private oversized deck — ideal for sunrise yoga, coffee, or a quiet nightcap under the stars. The lower level keeps the versatility coming with two more spacious bedrooms, a full bath, laundry, and direct access to the yard and patio. Guests, roommates, in-laws, home gym, art studio — whatever you need, you've got space for it here. The home has an efficiently sized front yard, charming front porch, and well proportioned rear yard and patio space with off street parking. Neighborhood vibes you'll love: Rock Creek Park is basically your backyard gym and nature retreat — miles of trails, tennis courts, picnic spots, and endless green. Hamilton Rec Center and Upshur Rec & Pool keep the neighborhood buzzing with playgrounds, ball fields, a splash pad, and community events. Upshur and Kennedy Street's are just blocks away with their mix of beloved local businesses. Moreland's Tavern (comfort food + craft beer), Neptune Room (quirky bar with dive-chic energy), LaCoop (your new coffee stop), Atxondo (Basque tapas with a cult following), and Willow (cozy for date nights). Daily errands? Whole Foods and Safeway nearby, plus corner markets and neighborhood shops that keep things convenient. Commuting? Several nearby bus routes take you to Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro (Green/Yellow line) or even take 16th Street right downtown. If public transit isn't your jam – the home has off street parking in the rear.
This isn't just another rowhome — it's a five-bedroom stunner with multiple outdoor living spaces, a dreamy primary suite, and a neighborhood that feels equal parts peaceful and plugged in.
