Property Description
A massive and majestic shared garden like you've never seen in DC! 512 U Street is the former residence to Willis Richardson, a prolific and acclaimed playwright. The historic Le Droit Park neighborhood was one of the first developments for government elites to escape the city. It was a bucolic, village-like atmosphere. Many residents wistfully recalled that Le Droit Park had been known as the flower garden of Washington. The rich history has been well preserved and restored by the unit owners, making these condos a rare find. This corner unit features beautiful windows on three sides, the living room incorporates a substantial and private deck for additional entertaining space, with steps leading to an incredible and massive sun garden with even more seating. The owner installed thick black walnut wood floors around 2005, a new sliding glass door to access deck, new hvac/heat in 2019, a new washer/dryer in-unit, and a new washer in 2020. Both bedrooms are spacious, the primary features a massive double hung wood window and an additional nook for a workspace or sitting area. The bathroom offers a lovely bathtub with window, extensive tile, and an updated shower combination. Located in the epicenter of the city, the condo is a six minute walk to Shaw Metro, Big Bear Cafe and the Farmer's Market are a quick stroll, dine at top restaurants like the Red Hen or Esquire's best dive bar, Showtime. The new Whole Foods is walking distance along with Howard Theater, University, and Hospital.
