1717 2nd Street NW offers far more space and versatility than its classic Bloomingdale façade might suggest. Thoughtfully updated and offering approximately 1,914 finished SF across three levels, the home has three bedrooms, a sunroom, generous lower-level living space, a redesigned backyard and off-street parking. A covered front porch opens to a bright main level with 9-foot ceilings, refinished hardwood floors and excellent natural light. The living room leads to the kitchen, with solid wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, an oversized stainless-steel sink, a slide-in range with downdraft ventilation and generous pantry storage. Beyond the kitchen is a dedicated dining room overlooking the rear garden and patio. A full bathroom completes the main level. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has a large walk-in closet and an adjoining sunroom overlooking the backyard—an ideal home office or quiet retreat. Two additional bedrooms and an updated full bath complete the level, while three light tubes bring additional natural light upstairs. The lower level extends the home’s living space with a generously sized recreation room and plenty of flexibility for how the space is used. There is also a separate WC and an unusually large laundry and utility room with excellent storage and direct access to the rear patio. Additional covered storage outside provides convenient space for bikes, gardening supplies and seasonal items. The backyard has been completely reworked with new hardscape and plantings, creating distinct areas for dining and lounging along with a landscaped garden. Off-street parking for one car sits just beyond. The location puts some of Bloomingdale and nearby Eckington’s best-loved destinations close at hand, including The Red Hen, Big Bear Café and Bacio Pizzeria, with Union Market and its mix of restaurants, shops and food purveyors also within easy reach. Giant, Whole Foods and everyday conveniences are nearby. Three Metro stations provide convenient connections across the city: Shaw-Howard U (0.6 mile) on the Green and Yellow Lines, NoMa-Gallaudet U (0.8 mile) on the Red Line, and Mt Vernon Sq–7th St-Convention Center (1.0 mile) on the Green and Yellow Lines.
