Property Description

Welcome to 51 S St NW, a one-of-a-kind renovation in historic Bloomingdale. Originally built in the late 19th century, this residence seamlessly blends historic charm with modern luxury across four beautifully curated levels, offering 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms over 3,000 square feet of finished living space.

The living and dining areas on the main floor have been thoughtfully restored and enhanced by the owners—cleverly designed to conceal ductwork, ensuring a sleek, modern aesthetic without unsightly soffits. Original plaster walls in these spaces preserve the home's historic integrity, complemented by beautifully reclaimed heart pine flooring. Two wood-burning fireplaces, located in the living and dining rooms, feature salvaged slate and marble mantels from Washington, D.C. homes. The original pocket doors have been fully restored. Over the dining table hangs a handcrafted chandelier by Velora Lighting.

The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring custom BERTCH cabinetry in a bespoke "Lagoon" hue, reclaimed heart pine floors, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open to a deck—ideal for outdoor dining or grilling. A thoughtfully added powder room includes a unique industrial mirror salvaged from NYC's Atomic Factory and custom lighting by DLdesignworks.

The second floor features two spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The front bedroom serves as a secondary primary suite, with reclaimed hardwood flooring, warm exposed brick walls, and abundant natural light through a bay window. A walk-through closet with an organization system leads to an en-suite bathroom. The rear bedroom includes custom built-in wardrobes by Castle Cabinetry and opens to a covered terrace overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard. Both bathrooms on this level are outfitted with curated encaustic tile, wall-mounted Villeroy & Boch toilets, and custom cabinetry. Additional features include hidden hallway storage & stackable laundry for added convenience.

The third-floor primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a cedar-clad private deck, a custom Kolbe greenhouse window nook, and Nanawall folding doors that create a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. The spa-inspired primary bath showcases a floating walnut vanity, floor-to-ceiling marble, honed granite dual sinks, and brass lighting by Velora Lighting. Attached is a full dressing room by Castle Cabinetry.

The fully excavated and finished garden level serves as a luxurious, multi-functional space—perfect for a guest suite, office, or entertainment area. The open-concept living area features engineered hickory flooring, exposed brick, polished concrete, and a striking custom brass Sputnik light fixture. A custom bar includes a marble backsplash, built-in pet kennels that convert to storage, a wine chiller, sink, and brass lighting. A hidden sliding door reveals a private guest suite with a built-in queen bed, full kitchen, and spa-like bathroom featuring green Zia encaustic tile. NanaWall doors fully open to the backyard, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.

The exterior of this home is a private urban sanctuary. The backyard is beautifully landscaped with mature hornbeam trees, hydrangeas, and greenery that attract fireflies in summer. The front yard is equally stunning, featuring spring bulbs, butterfly bushes, and a mature pink dogwood tree. Decks and railings are constructed of cedar with custom ironwork by Axel Iron. The property also includes a roll-up garage door, EV charging station, and hidden backyard storage shed. Additional updates include a new sump pump and drainage system, and a full slate mansard and turret roof with a 130+ year lifespan, backed by a Maggio Roofing warranty.

Smart, sustainable features include whole-house audio, Ethernet, tankless water heaters, and insulated commercial-grade windows, offering historic charm and cutting-edge design in a truly rare D.C. residence.
