About 1247 Oates St Ne #a
Set on a quiet residential block just minutes from the Union Market District, 1247 Oates Street NE Unit A is a fully renovated two-level home in a boutique row house condo conversion. Completed in 2019, the residence blends the charm of its 1925 façade with a clean, modern renovation and private outdoor space that is hard to find at this price.
Inside, the open-concept main level is thoughtfully designed for everyday living and easy entertaining. A generous living area flows into the dining space, which offers room for a 12-person table, while a powder room with original exposed brick adds warmth and character. The chef’s kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the home, featuring custom built-in cherry cabinetry, an oversized 36-inch gas range, and a striking island topped with a 2.5-inch honed Carrara marble slab. Just beyond the kitchen, French doors open to a south-facing balcony, bringing in natural light throughout the day and extending the living space outdoors.
The primary suite easily accommodates a king bed and features custom modular closet storage, bright south-facing exposure, and direct access to the private patio. The en-suite bath feels polished and spa-like, with a double vanity, marble floors and counters, and a marble-tiled shower with dual shower heads. A second bedroom, an additional flex room ideal for an office, gym, or guest space, and a full bath complete the level.
Outdoor living is a true highlight, with a private deck and patio, along with access to a shared grassy backyard. The home also includes a large private parking space secured by an automatic garage door, a rare and valuable convenience for city living.
Ownership is refreshingly simple, with a self-managed two-unit association that keeps fees low and offers a more personal approach to running the building. Owners of this home enjoy an exceptionally convenient NoMa/Union Market location. One block from the Joseph Cole Community Center, which features basketball courts, turf fields, a splash pad, and a playground, and hosts a Sunday farmers market. Just steps away are the restaurants, bars, and food halls of the Union Market District. Grocery shopping is easy with nearby Trader Joe's, and the NoMa–Gallaudet U Metro Station provides quick access to downtown and beyond.
