Bloomingdale was developed primarily at the end of the 19th century as a residential neighborhood. It is characterized by rowhouses which share a similar scale as well as restrained Victorian decorative details. Other residential areas that were developed at about the same time bordering Bloomingdale are Le Droit Park, Shaw, Truxton Circle, and Eckington. While contemporaneous in their appearance in the urban landscape, each neighborhood has a distinct architectural vocabulary. This renovation by DC Metro Investments affords generous public rooms, high ceilings, and ample storage across its three finished levels. The original c. 1895 porch has been maintained and provides additional living space in most seasons, much the way it did when the house was built. The main level has been designed as an open concept living/dining/kitchen with large pantry and powder room. Also found on this level is access to a rear deck and secure parking. The second level includes the primary suite with a walk-in closet and bathroom. Also found on this level are two more rooms that share a hall bathroom, large storage closet, balcony, and stairs to the third-floor roof deck. The deck spans the full length and width of the house and offers additional space to entertain. It has been roughed-in with a gas line for outdoor cooking, making it a very useful space. The lower level has a fourth bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, family room with wet bar, and laundry room.
