Surrounded by the five-acre gardens of historic Tilden Gardens, this beautifully updated three-bedroom residence captures everything Washingtonians love about DC's iconic prewar cooperatives. Timeless architecture, gracious proportions, abundant natural light, and tranquil views come together to create a home that feels both elegant and welcoming.
Classic details including original, Ritter old-growth oak hardwood floors, soaring 9-foot ceilings, elegant archways, six-paneled doors, and a decorative fireplace reflect the building's celebrated 1920s character. Positioned on three exposures with nineteen oversized windows, morning light filters through the treetops, afternoons overlook Rock Creek Park, and every season becomes part of the view.
Spanning approximately 1,550 square feet, the thoughtfully designed floor plan pairs expansive entertaining spaces with a private bedroom wing, offering both grandeur and everyday comfort. The formal dining room flows seamlessly into the renovated kitchen, where extended-height inset cabinetry, quartz countertops, a ceramic tile backsplash, and abundant storage create a space that is both beautiful and highly functional.
The spacious primary suite enjoys serene treetop views and a beautifully renovated en-suite bath. Two additional bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility for guests, family, or dedicated work-from-home space and share an equally updated hall bath featuring marble floor and wall tile, contemporary fixtures, and a jetted soaking tub. Excellent storage is found throughout the home, including two hallway closets and custom shelving in every bedroom closet.
Thoughtful improvements completed between 2018 and today enhance comfort while preserving the home's architectural integrity. Renovations include the kitchen, primary bath, and hall bath, refinished hardwood floors, custom window blinds throughout, dimmable lighting, a kitchen water purification system, new air conditioning units, and a new Miele dishwasher.
Residents of Tilden Gardens enjoy a full suite of amenities, including front desk service from 7am11pm daily including holidays, a large private storage unit, bicycle storage, elegant party space, two rentable guest suites, free communal laundry, and garage parking available by waitlist. Its prime location offers a peaceful natural escape just a short walk from Cleveland Park and Van Ness Metro stations, neighborhood favorites including Bread Furst, Duke's Counter, Sfoglina, and Sababa, as well as grocery stores, cafs, and the trails of Rock Creek Park.
Whether enjoying a quiet morning in the sun-filled solarium overlooking the gardens or walking to neighborhood favorites along Connecticut Avenue, this is a home that feels distinctly Washingtontimeless, peaceful, and impossible to replicate.
