colorful & chic in Columbia Heights.
Occupying the top two floors of a charming blue rowhome in Columbia Heights, this creative, colorful home was thoughtfully transformed by owners who knew how to turn what was originally a builder grade condo into a one of a kind home. During their 5 years of ownership, they infused personality and charm into each room, creating a home layered with story and spunk. For the buyer looking for something bespoke and custom, but who might be intimidated by the design process, this townhome proved the perfect solution.

Exterior / The apartment – which lives much like a rowhome – occupies the top two floors of a historic, charming blue rowhome in Columbia Heights on beloved, leafy Monroe Street. The color and architectural texture of the facade are quite lovely.
Living room / On the main level, the living room truly glistens. With north-facing views out over the city, the owners added sparkle to this space using unique lighting, a marble mantle sourced from DC Mantle House, and jewel-toned furniture.
The kitchen & dining room / The now dining room was originally enclosed by two doors, which constricted the flow of the main level. The owners removed the doors and worked with Megan Hopp to create a fun dining space, connecting the living room & kitchen with a serene private patio. The en-suite bathroom was given a character boost, too.
Primary bedroom / Upstairs, the primary bedroom anchors the end of the hallway, and the exposed brick feature on both walls amplifies the tall ceilings. A petite but sunny perch overlooks the street.
Upstairs bedrooms / There is also a guest room down the hall, with a closet outfitted as a compact office arrangement, as well as a den space crafted into a beautiful nursery. Both rooms share a fabulous hall bathroom.
