About 1640 Hobart St NW

Nestled on one of the most sought-after streets in the Historic Mount Pleasant neighborhood, this rowhome, built in 1914 by renowned developer Harry Wardman, showcases the timeless elegance of its namesake architecture—celebrated for its generous proportions, 22ft internal width--and exquisite wood detailing. Thoughtfully restored with meticulous care, the home seamlessly blends historic charm with tasteful modern living. The Main Residence offers an impressive layout, including three spacious bedrooms, two-and-a-half well-appointed bathrooms, a welcoming foyer with dramatic staircase, elegant built-ins in the living room-library, a formal dining room with coffered ceiling, an open-concept chef’s kitchen, a dedicated, light-filled second floor office, and a partially-finished attic with potential for expansion. Sophisticated luxuries from its designer include an Italian mosaic spa shower and custom California walk-in closet in the primary areas, brand-name plumbing fixtures, cast-bronze exterior lighting, and a bespoke mural artwork in the multi-story stairway by a noted American artist. Outdoor living is tranquilly social, with a gracious front porch, rear sundeck in the landscaped garden oasis, and private parking. The separate, Terrace-Level Apartment is a fully licensed and inspected one-bedroom retreat, featuring front and rear entrances, a spacious living area, custom bar, eat-in kitchen, expansive walk-in closet, bathroom, and a secluded garden patio—perfect for guests, in-laws, or supplemental rental income. Currently leased through September, the unit offers both convenience and investment potential.
