Property Description
Classic Wardman architecture, thoughtful modern upgrades, rare outdoor space, and two-car parking come together beautifully at 117 Rhode Island Avenue NE — a four-bedroom, two-bath residence offering the best of historic Washington living with the comfort and functionality today's buyers expect.
Rich in original charm, the home features stunning original hardwood floors, timeless architectural detail, and the warmth and proportion that define DC's most beloved vintage rowhomes. The main level offers gracious living and dining spaces that flow into an updated kitchen with new countertops, fresh tiling, and a large double sink.
The flexible four-bedroom layout includes a finished lower level with a bedroom, full bath, tile flooring, and kitchenette — ideal for guests, a home office, studio, au pair space, or potential rental/Airbnb use, subject to applicable regulations.
Outside, a sizeable grassy rear yard creates a true urban retreat, complemented by a renovated patio and walkway with permeable pavers. Two dedicated parking spaces further elevate the offering, including a parking pad upgraded with permeable pavers and a motorized electric roll-up door plus added electrical outlets.
Over the course of ownership, the sellers have made more than $75,000 in documented improvements, in addition to solar panels that help keep utility costs affordable. Improvements include a basement bathroom renovation, kitchen remodel, backyard renovation, parking pad upgrade, garage enhancements, copper plumbing modernization replacing outdated galvanized steel pipes and the main lead water line, basement finishing with kitchenette, and an electrical panel capacity upgrade. Brand-new paint, fixtures, lighting, and recently refinished hardwood floors make this property truly move-in ready.
Set in a highly convenient location near Bloomingdale, Eckington, NoMa, and Union Market, the home is moments from some of DC's most beloved dining, coffee, shops, and neighborhood retail, including The Red Hen, Big Bear Cafe, Bacio Pizzeria, Boundary Stone, and The Pub & The People, with even more award-winning restaurants, boutiques, fitness, and entertainment nearby.
Beautifully preserved, intelligently updated, and exceptionally livable, 117 Rhode Island Avenue NE offers vintage DC architecture, modern infrastructure, private green space, lower-level flexibility, and two-car parking — a chic city home with character, comfort, and enduring value.
