165 V Street NE

Theres a crisp, thoughtful feel to this renovation that captures your attention the moment you see the bold, clean white exterior. Inside, the main level features a smart, open flow and luxury flooring that makes the home feel both bright and practical, with tons of light pouring in to highlight the modern finishes and the comfort of the brand-new HVAC system. The kitchen sits right in the middle of the house, anchoring the space with a large waterfall island. It isnt just pretty for photos; it was designed to be the functional heart of the home, perfect for an intimate breakfast with family or as a comfortable work-at-home spot. With all-new appliances, including a gas range, modern microwave, and a built-in wine cooler, there is a fantastic flow to entertain parties around the island. The layout naturally separates the sizable living room in the front from the dining area in the rear, creating an easy rhythm for daily life. That extra layer of planning, including the main-level powder room, makes the first floor feel effortless. The front porch serves as a lovely perch above the street, providing the kind of spot where you can sit with coffee, take in the neighborhood, and enjoy that slightly elevated Eckington atmosphere. Upstairs, you have three bedrooms, including a front bedroom where the ceiling was raised to create a larger, brighter, airier ambiance. The upstairs bathroom is updated with a double vanity, adding a sense of luxury to the private quarters. The sliding barn door closet adds a custom touch, and the accent wall in one of the rear bedrooms reinforces the sense that every detail was carefully considered. The lower level adds a whole other layer of flexibility, featuring a fourth bedroom with an en-suite full bathroom, walk-out access to the backyard, laundry, and a secondary kitchenette with a sink, full-size fridge, and counter space. This level works beautifully for guests, a home office, or anyone who wants a little extra separation without feeling disconnected from the rest of the home. Out back, the private outdoor space provides a great extension of the house. While the area is currently enclosed for privacy, the rear fencing is designed to be easily adaptable for those who prefer secure, off-street parking. And then theres the location. Eckington offers that great D.C. mix of historic residential streets and everyday convenience. You are close to bus stops and the Metro, as well as the Metropolitan Branch Trail, Lost Generation Brewing, Alamo Drafthouse, Union Market, and the Bouldering Project. This location gives you easy access to the entire city while maintaining the feel of a true neighborhood street.
