5 POMANDER WALK NW Washington, DC 20007

Tucked on Georgetown's most private residential block, no cars, no condo fees, no comparison. This all-brick row house has been renovated with the kind of restraint that respects the bones of the house instead of fighting them.

The living room centers on a gas fireplace, recently upgraded, with custom screens opening to a private bricked-in patio, walled off from the world, built for the kind of dinner you don't want to end. The kitchen is compact by design and fully outfitted: Bosch dishwasher, Liebherr fridge, the full run of premium appliances in a footprint that wastes nothing.

Upstairs, hardwood floors lead to a primary bedroom with fantastic light and a small second room perfect for a walk-in closet or home office. The updated bathroom offers Carrara marble, Kohler fixtures, and an updated vanity. A GE all-in-one washer/dryer and tankless water heater round out the second floor. Quiet upgrades. The kind that matter every day and never show up in a photo.

Across the street: Volta Park. Pool, tennis, basketball, a playground, and open field, all of it three steps from your front door.

This is fee simple Georgetown on a serene block that rarely turns over. Truly a rare opportunity.
