Property Description

2034 O Street NW, built by famed architect Louis D. Meline, is a meticulously restored 1890s brownstone that was originally built for John Bard, the co-Founder of Bard College. — The home is five levels, over 4,400 square feet, and built originally for its owner rather than for resale. That distinction shows in every detail. <br><br> The main level welcomes you with soaring 12-foot-plus ceilings and a kitchen centered on a Taj Mahal honed quartzite island, complemented by a full Thermador/Wolf appliance suite and custom cabinetry w/appliance garages . The living room is anchored by a striking Calcutta Viola marble fireplace, and dual access to the private courtyard and rear garden brings effortless indoor-outdoor living to this level. One flight up, the entire third floor is devoted to the primary retreat — bedroom, custom designed dressing room with Collemandania marble island, and a spa-like bath featuring dual Diana Royal honed marble vanities, custom cabinetry, a separate water closet, and a dedicated tub and shower. <br><br> The fourth floor offers three generously proportioned bedrooms, including a bedroom/office with a second Calcutta Viola marble fireplace and a rare private balcony overlooking O Street. <br><br> Above the fourth level, the penthouse level is built for entertaining and unwinding alike, with a dry sauna opening to a full bath, a private rooftop deck with south facing views, and a wet bar finished in honed Collemandania stone. On the lower or street level, a fully separate one-bedroom, one-bath apartment offers its own front and rear entrances and independent laundry — ideal as a rental unit, guest suite, or au pair quarters. <br><br> Rounding out the offering is a rare find in the West End: a front-loading interior garage with storage, plus a surface parking space, with additional rental parking available next door (3-car parking). This rare brownstone is sited on a wonderfully wide and sunny block of O Street, 2 doors down from the Historic O Street Mansion, a block away from dining and retail and two blocks from The Ritz Carlton West End. <br><br> The home is in its final stages of completion.
