43 U Street, NW
Big, Bold and Beautiful in Bloomingdale!

Welcome home to this spacious and light-filled 1906 vintage Victorian! A bold statement combining traditional features with hip style, this wonderful home presents the perfect package in the heart of Bloomingdale! On a coveted block, 43 U Street is uniquely positioned on the south edge of beloved Crispus Attucks Park. Indeed, the home’s back yard melts into the lovely landscaping and flowering trees of the area’s private community park. Filled with light from the southern exposure, this trend setter is the very definition of value-added features! A perfect package for the savvy-minded buyer, 43 U Street has been extensively updated over the last few years. The home has been designed to blend seamlessly with the modern lifestyle and its many features include a sassy kitchen with upscale appliances, a huge deck for easy entertaining, a reworked, expanded basement, cathedral ceilings, and ample parking. The thoughtful renovation carefully preserved the many original details found throughout: a grand staircase with original millwork, crown moulding throughout, original heart pine floors, three marvelous mantels, original foyer tiles and wonderful pocket doors. A perfect marriage of old and new, this beautiful Victorian awaits its proud new owner!
