Property Description

Historic Bloomingdale meets modern flexibility in this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath Wardman row home featuring a private flagstone patio and separately accessed lower level. One of the defining hallmarks of a classic Wardman is its wide front porch—the perfect perch for morning coffee, relaxing at the end of the day, or chatting with neighbors and passersby. Designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining, the main level begins with a charming foyer and a welcoming living room anchored by a potbelly stove and built-in shelving. The spacious dining area flows into a sleek, modern kitchen with glossy white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, and a striking red backsplash. A tucked-away powder room completes the level. Upstairs, you’ll find a generously sized primary suite with a private bathroom, two additional bedrooms, a second full bathroom, and the convenience of a full-size washer and dryer on the bedroom level. Fresh paint, luxury plank flooring, and thoughtful updates make the home move-in ready. The income generating lower-level includes a fourth bedroom, full bathroom, laundry, kitchen, private entrances, and separate electric meter, creating a valuable flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, a home office, or other uses. Its independent access also offers added versatility for buyers focused on long-term value. This home is ideal for an owner-occupant, use as a rental property, or house-hackers. The current owner occupied and rented rooms for additional income. Brilliant! Outside, the private flagstone patio creates a peaceful urban retreat with plenty of room for entertaining, dining al fresco, gardening, or simply unwinding at the end of the day. Set along one of Bloomingdale’s picturesque, tree-lined streets, the home offers a welcome escape from the energy of the city while keeping everything within easy reach. Enjoy Sunday mornings at the year-round Bloomingdale Farmers Market and stroll to neighborhood favorites including The Red Hen and Big Bear Café. Explore nearby LeDroit Park and the Reservoir District, with convenient access to Howard University, MedStar Washington Hospital Center, Children’s National Hospital, downtown DC, and major commuter routes. With historic character, modern updates, flexible living space, and inviting outdoor areas in both the front and rear, 165 Adams Street NW offers an exceptional opportunity in the heart of Historic Bloomingdale.
