About This Property

This is a historic and highly celebrated "Tiffey Townhome" designed by notable architects Berla & Abel, originally considered a rare, pioneering example of International Style/Modernistic architecture. Great fix and flip opportunity, or a unique value-added, custom-build project for homeowners. While this home now needs tender loving care, with a new kitchen and bathrooms, it features iconic hallmarks such as an open interior, expansive windows and distinct integration of glass blocks considered modernistic when it was built in the 1940s. The home is located across the entrance to Rock Creek Park, a city oasis with over 32 miles of hiking trails; quick paths to other parts of the city, Maryland and Virginia; biking trails; wildlife and the Smithsonian's National Zoo. Nestled in the charming Crestwood neighborhood, this delightful townhouse offers a perfect blend of classic character and modern convenience. Built in 1941, this brick beauty boasts 2,114 square feet of thoughtfully-designed living space. It features two fireplaces, ceiling fans, hardwood floors, wooded window shutters; central heating and air conditioning. The spacious layout also boasts three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and a large rear yard with endless landscaping possibilities and ample space for outdoor cooking, gardening and rejuvenation. The property has a light-filled sunroom, a perfect place for reading, relaxing and reflecting. Crestwood is not just a nice place to live; it's a vibrant community known for its proximity to local parks, boutique shops, and delightful eateries. Whether you're grabbing a coffee at a nearby café or exploring the local farmer's market, you'll find that everything you need is just a stone's throw away. With easy access to public transportation and major thoroughfares, commuting to work or exploring the city is a breeze. Crestwood's welcoming atmosphere and rich community spirit make it a sought-after destination for those looking to plant roots in a thriving area. This townhouse is an opportunity to immerse yourself in a community that values connection and convenience. Don't pass on this rare value-added jewel.
