Listen to the lions roar from the lovely stone terrace fronting this three bedroom Mount Pleasant row home, just one block from the National Zoo. Large windows and beautiful hardwood floors create a welcoming warmth throughout. The stunning, newly renovated kitchen boasts an impressive amount of storage, with a pantry and convenient soapstone-topped center island. Highlighted by handsome custom cabinetry, the designer kitchen includes a farmhouse style sink, Heath Ceramics tile backsplash and top of the line appliances, including “hidden” Liebherr refrigerator and Fisher & Parker double drawer dishwasher. A bonus sun porch with exposed brick overlooks the landscaped stone patio, lined with mature bamboo. Three bedrooms and a rear balcony grace the upstairs, including a light-filled primary with two walk-in closets. The lower level family room comes complete with a wall of built-ins, while a half bath and a flexible work area with laundry and sink is ideal for a workshop or artist studio. Enjoy the cultural amenities of one of the city’s most cherished neighborhoods with prized dining options, local markets, a bustling weekly Farmer’s Market and easy access to Rock Creek Park.
