Property description
1209 Emerson Street NW is a gorgeous five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home boasting high-end finishes and thoughtful designs. Step up to the best porch on the block with ample space for lounging and stunning lawn and garden views. This will be your go-to spot for sipping your morning coffee and enjoying the shade from the mature Japanese Maple tree. Just off the front door, you will arrive in the inviting formal living room featuring high ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, tray ceilings with crown molding, recessed lighting, a fireplace with a marble backsplash and mantel, and floods of natural light. The home flows beautifully towards the rear of the home into the open-concept kitchen and dining area with a conveniently located half-bathroom. The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with professional stainless-steel appliances, gas cooking with an oven-range hood, a wine fridge, ample cabinet space, quartz countertops, and a peninsula with seating for casual dining or keeping the chef company while cooking. Between the kitchen and dining area is a door to the spacious rear deck offering ample space for grilling and dining al fresco, and the expansive fenced-in rear yard with secure two-car parking. The rear yard is a true oasis city escape that you will enjoy with friends and family year-round. At the top of the stairs on the second level of the home and to the left is the primary suite. The primary suite features a foyer entryway, high ceilings, recessed lighting, a large walk-in closet with custom shelving, a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a double vanity sink and custom tile shower, and a private balcony. The second level of the home holds two more spacious bedrooms, a hallway bathroom with a double vanity sink, and a laundry room. Up the stairs on the third level of the home is the fourth bedroom, which can also be used as an in-home office or playroom, and provides 10’ vaulted ceilings and ample storage space. A staircase off the kitchen leads downstairs to the lower level of the home. This level of the home holds a large fifth bedroom, a third full bathroom, additional living space, and a kitchenette featuring stainless steel appliances, electric cooking, quartz countertops, ample cabinet space, and a stacked washer and dryer. This level of the home is a great option for an au-pair suite, in-law suite, additional living space, or a separate rental unit. You can have it all with this house – location, space, luxury, and comfort! Don’t miss your chance to call this beautiful house in a wonderful neighborhood your new home!
