Elegant Modern Garden Oasis, Spacious, Family Friendly & Close to it all
★ RATED A TOP VRBO's BY WASHINGTONIAN MAGAZINE ★ Stay in a one-of-a-kind piece of DC history: a 100-year-old corner store reimagined as a spacious, design-forward rowhome sleeping up to 14. Perfectly positioned where Eckington, Bloomingdale, NoMa & Shaw meet — steps from Michelin-recognized dining, Union Market, and the Metro. Ideal for families, reunions, wedding parties, and group getaways to the nation's capital.
The Space: Two full levels of living, four bedrooms, and three full bathrooms give your group room to spread out and come together. The open-concept main floor flows from a light-filled living room to a chef-ready kitchen with breakfast island and full dining area — the perfect gathering space after a day of sightseeing. Two bedrooms and two full baths complete the main level.
Downstairs, a private lower level functions almost like a second apartment: two more bedrooms, a third full bath, comfortable lounge space, and a dedicated laundry room. Memory foam mattresses throughout, fast WiFi, a dedicated workspace for remote work, smart-lock self check-in, and a crib and extra sleeping options for flexible group configurations. City skyline and courtyard views round out the character of this truly unique home.
The Neighborhood: You're at the crossroads of three of DC's most exciting neighborhoods — with a fourth, NoMa, just blocks away. Bloomingdale (5–10 min walk): Tree-lined Victorian rowhouse streets and some of the city's best neighborhood dining — The Red Hen (Michelin Bib Gourmand Italian), Boundary Stone, The Pub & The People, and beloved Big Bear Cafe for morning coffee and pastries. Don't miss the Sunday farmers' market or a stroll through Crispus Attucks Park. Union Market District (15 min walk / 5 min drive): DC's famous food hall with 40+ vendors, plus La Cosecha Latin market, breweries, boutiques, and rooftop dining. A must-visit for any food lover. Shaw & U Street Corridor (short walk or ride): Nationally acclaimed restaurants, craft cocktail bars, live music at the historic 9:30 Club and Howard Theatre, and DC's best nightlife. NoMa: Trader Joe's, Harris Teeter, Alethia Tanner Park, and the Metropolitan Branch Trail — perfect for a morning run or bike ride past some of DC's best murals.
Getting Around:
NoMa–Gallaudet Metro (Red Line): ~15 min walk — direct to downtown DC Union Station: 1 mile — Amtrak, MARC & VRE for day trips to Baltimore, Annapolis & beyond U.S. Capitol & National Mall: ~1.5–2 miles — quick rideshare or scenic walk/bike Walter E. Washington Convention Center: ~1 mile Howard University & Children's National: minutes away Easy access to New York Ave/Route 50 & Rhode Island Ave for drivers; street parking typically available
