IMPORTANT: The two open houses for this basement apartment are scheduled for: * Wednesday, March 24 from 4:00 to 7:00 * Saturday, March 27 from 12:00 to 5:00 This two-bedroom apartment is the basement unit of a townhouse. The upstairs apartment and the basement apartment each have separate front entrances, with no access to each other inside the house. The basement unit is only partially underground: There's ample outdoor light within the front half of the apartment, which comprises the living room and kitchen. And the outside light is mediocre in the back half of the apartment, which is where the two bedrooms are. (As such, it's virtually impossible for a burglar to break in to the basement apartment.) This house is located on a one-way block of a residential street (Park Road NW). Hence, there isn't much traffic as compared to the rest of the exciting Columbia Heights neighborhood. The house is 1-2 blocks from restaurants and bars; 3 blocks from a convenience store; 4 blocks from the Giant grocery store; and 5 blocks from the Target shopping complex. The house is equidistant from the Columbia Heights metro stop and the Georgia Ave / Petworth metro stop; both stops are a 7-minute walk from the house. (And the bus stop is on Sherman Avenue NW -- a mere 30 yards from the house .) The owner is fine with the basement lease starting at any time, as the unit is unoccupied, empty, and available! No appointment is necessary, but please feel free to tell us if you're planning to come? Kind regards ...

PRICE HAS BEEN DROPPED from $4,200/month ... then down to $3,900/month ... and now $3,700/month. RSVP REQUIRED FOR OPEN HOUSE: * Thursday, March 23 ... 4:00 to 7:00 This mansion is almost entirely UNFURNISHED. (The furniture in the photos is for staging purposes only.) This mansion has 3 floors. On the ground floor is the kitchen, dining room, living room, and a half-bathroom. On the second floor are the 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom (with both a whirlpool tub and a shower), and the laundry room. The third floor is simply a huge open space with vaulted ceilings and a pool table, along with 1 full bathroom and 2 balconies along the edges of the huge room. And the roof deck -- which sort of serves as the 4th floor of the house -- has a 6-person hot tub with a view of the monuments and the National Cathedral. Wow! The house is 1 block from a dozen bars and restaurants, and 4 blocks from busy 14th Street with the Target shopping mall and the Columbia Heights metro stop. (It takes only 7 minutes to walk from the house to the metro stop.) All that said, the house is in a quiet location, in part because it sits on a one-way street with a dog park across the street. (There is a separate basement apartment that isn't described in this online listing. It has its own front door; the basement unit has no access to the large upstairs apartment that's available to rent; and the basement has tenants who are present only 25% of the time. Very quiet.)
