1627 MONROE ST NW Washington, DC 20010

Mount Pleasant is not only known for its surfeit of conveniences in the neighborhood, including a short walk to cafes, shops, and parks, but also because of its rich diversity of architectural styles. Home to Foursquares, Colonial Revivals, and elegant rowhouses of distinction, there is something appealing in every size and description. This charming example is restrained yet handsome, and modest in scale yet offering gracious and open living spaces. The style of the facade is shared by its neighbors, creating a neat and even rhythm on a shady street only one block from 16th Street. The front porch provides an additional room in all seasons, and is a pleasant place to work or socialize. The first floor is an open plan, and is therefore afforded a great deal of natural light on an axis from the front of the house to the back. The second floor provides two bedrooms and one bathroom, while the lower level offers additional living space, a full bathroom, storage, and laundry. There is a deck that is large enough for informal entertaining and parking for one car in the back, accessible from the kitchen.
