Description

Set on an expansive corner lot along coveted 26th St, 745 26th St S is a beautifully expanded Craftsman that blends timeless character with modern updates. Refinished original hardwood floors showcase the home’s historic charm, while fresh interior and exterior paint, designer lighting, and generous room proportions throughout provide exceptional comfort and livability.

A screened front porch serves as an inviting entry into the house. To the left of the foyer is a main floor bedroom and full bath, perfect for guests, multigenerational living, or a home office. Across the entryway is a spacious living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, custom built-ins, and south-facing windows. Just beyond, the formal dining room features a beautiful bay window and 8.5-foot ceilings. The kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and ample cabinetry; it opens to a bright sunroom overlooking the backyard and a magnificent, mature canopy tree. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with two closets, and a distinctive loft with exposed wood beams, a built-in bunk, a dramatic 13-foot ceiling, and near floor-to-ceiling windows. This room has a striking architectural presence from the street level. An updated full bath and a rare, dedicated upstairs laundry room complete the top floor. The basement features new LVP flooring, abundant storage space, an exterior egress door to the backyard, and a newer HVAC system. Outside are lush garden beds, native shade trees, and a rear deck, ideal for dining or a grill. The largely flat backyard has exceptional potential for a future addition or ADU.

Located in the tree-lined neighborhood of Aurora Highlands, this special home is just blocks from several parks, restaurants and shops, the Crystal City Metro, Reagan National Airport, Amazon HQ2, and exciting future developments in National Landing.
