1314 Kenyon Street NW is a true Washington, DC grand dame—an extraordinary end-unit townhome in the heart of Columbia Heights where historic grandeur, modern refinement, and exceptional income potential come together in one unforgettable residence. This is not simply a home; it is a rare city gem with the scale, soul, flexibility, and lifestyle features that are increasingly difficult to find at any price point—let alone this one.
Flooded with natural light from its coveted end-unit position, this gracious 6-bedroom, 6.5-bath residence makes an immediate impression with soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, custom millwork, and a beautiful rhythm of interconnected rooms made for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday life. Grand in scale yet deeply inviting, the home has been thoughtfully improved to offer the confidence and ease of modern ownership without sacrificing its timeless character.
Behind the scenes, substantial system upgrades provide peace of mind, including four independently controlled HVAC systems. The basement, first-floor, and second-floor systems were replaced in 2025, the third-floor system was replaced in 2022, and a new electric water heater was installed in 2025. An interior French drain, added in 2019, offers another layer of thoughtful stewardship.
The primary suite is a serene, spa-inspired escape, anchored by a striking 2022 bath renovation with brushed-brass accents and polished, tailored finishes. Upstairs, a bespoke wet bar sets the stage for one of the property’s most spectacular features: an approximately 1,000-square-foot, private two-level roof terrace. This exceptional double-decker deck is a true urban oasis—perfect for open-air dinners, rooftop gatherings, quiet morning coffee, sunset cocktails, and memorable nights under the DC skyline. The lower terrace was upgraded with premium Dec-Tec flooring in 2022, while the upper roof-deck boards were replaced in 2024.
In a city where parking is priceless, the home’s attached garage and secure off-street parking are a rare and highly desirable luxury, added features include new 100 amp electrical box to add EV charger should one desire. And below the main residence lies an equally compelling opportunity: a legal, separately metered two-bedroom, two-bath apartment with a Certificate of Occupancy. Currently operating as an income-producing Airbnb, this beautifully flexible space can serve as a guest residence, au pair suite, long-term rental, or continued short-term rental opportunity. With the potential to generate approximately $2,500 to $3,000 per month in supplemental income, it adds an exceptional value proposition to an already remarkable home.
The location is simply outstanding. Set in the vibrant and connected heart of Columbia Heights, 1314 Kenyon Street NW places the best of Washington at your doorstep. Enjoy easy access to the restaurants, cafés, shops, and energy of the 14th Street corridor, including established neighborhood favorites and newer destinations such as Ulivo. Malcolm X/Meridian Hill Park, Columbia Heights recreation amenities, Capital Bikeshare, Metro access, and the District’s expanding network of protected bike lanes are all close by.
There is truly nothing else like it in the city at this price point. A historic DC grand dame with six bedrooms, 6.5 baths, an attached garage, a dramatic private double roof deck, modernized systems, and a legal, income-producing 2-bedroom/2-bath apartment, 1314 Kenyon Street NW is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Washington with both presence and possibility. Elegant, adaptable, and absolutely unforgettable—this is DC living at its finest
