Gloriously Wide Edwardian This gloriously-wide (20 feet!) 2-unit Edwardian, with a porch just meant for rocking, is a hop-out-of-bed to the Potomac Avenue Metro, a stroll to fabulous shopping and dining along Pennsylvania Avenue, Barracks Row and Eastern Market—and one block from a soon-to-arrive Harris Teeter supermarket. Step into the gracious front hall and through the high archway into the brilliantly sunny living room with its toasty corner fireplace, crown moldings, and gleaming, honey-colored wood floors. A second arch leads to a formal dining room that's big enough for banquet-sized entertaining. Beyond that, a back porch the full width of the house has been enclosed to create a solarium with a delightful view of the absolutely spectacular garden with its lot-sized storage shed, patio, unusual free-standing deck, and pond—what a spot for summer entertaining! To make that entertaining a pleasure, the sleek, caterer's kitchen boasts a handsome sweep of counter and custom cabinetry that includes a plate rack and wine storage. Note the gorgeous porcelain and brass hardware on those cabinets. Quality speaks. Also on this level, a powder room and a wealth of closets including, that rarity of rarities, a coat closet in the front hall! Upstairs, the airy master bedroom with its oversized-double closet steps out to a private enclosed porch—with additional closets and a garden view. Towards the front of the house, and overlooking the treetops, two more big bright bedrooms, both with terrific closet space. In every room, wonderful antique details abound, including working transoms, handsome wood trim, and deep baseboard moldings. Downstairs, the extraordinary English Basement apartment is entered through turn-of-the-last-century glass doors. Here is a spacious living area with wood-burning fireplace and a well-equipped kitchen with excellent cabinet and counter space. Down the hall, a beautifully mirrored bath and a queen-sized bedroom with plenty of closets.
