Property Description
Built in 1921 and thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, 5240 Colorado Ave NW blends the soul of a classic DC home with smart, stylish upgrades—inside and out.
With nearly 2,900 square feet across four sun-filled levels, this semi-detached residence offers room to grow, host, and breathe. Step inside to refinished original oak floors, light-filled living and dining spaces, and a warm, intuitive layout that flows with daily life. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the front living room, while double French doors from Andersen open the dining room to the backyard.
The NARI award-winning kitchen draws inspiration from 1920s Art Deco, featuring locally crafted stained-glass cabinetry and pantry doors. Solid wood Yorktowne cabinets with dovetail joinery and soft-close drawers offer generous storage, while three stainless Electrolux ovens, a 5-burner gas range, and a built-in microwave provide culinary flexibility.
Upstairs, a plush carpet runner leads to four spacious bedrooms and two spa-inspired baths, fully renovated in 2024. The primary suite includes a built-in glass-shelf book nook, a walk-in closet, and an en-suite bath with custom marble, floating dual vanity, lighted fog-free mirror, Toto smart commode/bidet behind a privacy wall, and frameless glass shower—bathed in natural light while preserving privacy. Three of the four bedrooms, including the primary, feature custom closet systems.
Tucked above, a partially finished attic—complete with heating and cooling—offers flexible bonus space for a quiet den, playroom, guest hideaway, or creative retreat.
The expansive lower level is a flexible retreat—ideal for a media room, playroom, gym, or additional storage. It includes a convenient half-bath and a tucked-away laundry area.
Outside, enjoy your private oasis: a fully fenced backyard with premium turf (cool under bare feet and paws), plus a rare detached garage with EV charging station—making city living both easy and elegant.
Just down the block: Rock Creek Park, Carter Barron Amphitheater, and Rock Creek Tennis Center offer nature, culture, and activity. At the other end of the block, enjoy local favorites like Moreland's Tavern, Delicia's Market, Gold Coast Café, and the Saturday Uptown Farmers Market. In-bound public schools include the highly regarded John Lewis Elementary and Alice Deal Middle School.
Capital Bikeshare puts Metro access, the nearby Parks at Walter Reed, and all of DC within reach—yet this home remains nestled in the peaceful charm of 16th Street Heights.
Come discover a home where lifestyle meets legacy, neighbors wave back, and every day feels a little more like home.
