About This Property
Built circa 1872, the home at 827 Wolfe Street is a stunning and
unique historic Old Town home. This free-standing, brick residence
with stone lintels, a stone foundation, and mansard roof combines
the charm and character of an historic home with the modern
conveniences well suited for today's lifestyle. The 3 bedroom,
2-1/2 bathroom townhome in the heart of the historic district
reported to have been home to a tavern in the 19th century features
a large, graceful wraparound porch, the perfect spot for relaxing
in a rocking chair with a cold beverage. The home's sunny first
floor features an updated and spacious eat-in kitchen with granite
counters, stainless steel appliances, and gas range. Adjacent to
the kitchen is the home's large living room (which could also serve
as a formal dining room) complete with elegant moldings, vintage
pendant lighting, and easy access to the breathtaking garden. A
spacious coat closet and recently renovated powder room are also
located on the first floor. Ascending the staircase to the second
floor you'll find yourself in the home's library. This cozy space
with a wood-burning fireplace and recessed lighting features
wall-to-wall built-ins to house your most cherished items. One of
the three bedrooms is located on this second level, and features an
en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The impressive master
bedroom, with its custom closets, vaulted ceiling, and exposed wood
beams, is located on the third floor of the home. A Jack-and-Jill
bathroom, beautifully renovated in 2017, features granite counters,
glass tile, and a tub/shower combination. Also conveniently located
on this level is the home's laundry facility as well as the bright
third bedroom with custom closets. The home also features a
partially finished lower level, a spacious area well suited to a
home gym, home theater, or to accommodate all your storage needs.
Stairs from the basement lead to the fenced garden, a serene space
for grilling, relaxing, and dining. It is a private retreat
complete with a custom flagstone patio, raised beds, graceful
trees, mature plantings, and easy access to the home's off street
parking located just beyond the garden gate. This central location
is just three blocks to King Street's shopping and dining district,
two blocks to S. Washington St., as well as convenient to Whole
Foods, Harris Teeter, Trader Joes, Starbucks & farmers' markets.
The location, while just far enough from the hustle and bustle to
feel exclusively residential, is a commuter's dream: walking
distance to King Street Metro, and easy access to I-95/495, Route
1, and the GW Parkway.
