Property Description
Boldly reimagined and beautifully executed, 5319 Ames Street NE is not your average semi-detached home. Thoughtfully renovated by artistic owners with an eye for detail and a deep respect for craftsmanship, this home delivers standout design, smart upgrades, and space to live beautifully. Over 20% larger than typical homes in the area, this 2BR+ residence combines style, function, and that rare “wow” factor at every turn.
Step inside and be instantly struck by the custom millwork, dark-stained white oak floors, and soft white walls that perfectly offset dramatic black doors and hardware. The kitchen is a total showstopper—expanded and completely redesigned with sleek cabinetry, rich concrete countertops, an iridescent tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a custom built-in banquette ideal for casual dining or work-from-home days. A smart oven brings professional-grade precision and remote operation to elevate your cooking experience. Antique French doors lead out to a brand-new deck and large fenced yard, ideal for entertaining, gardening, or even creating off-street parking—a rare and valuable feature in the city.
Upstairs, the bright and spacious primary bedroom is a peaceful retreat, paired with a fully renovated bath and a well-proportioned second bedroom. On the lower level, enjoy a stylishly finished rec space with barn-door access to laundry and mechanicals, offering flexible use for movie nights, a home gym, or guest space.
This home was designed with the modern, tech-savvy homeowner in mind. It features a fully integrated, hardwired smart lighting system with app and voice control, dimmable fixtures throughout, and smart-enabled mini-split HVAC systems that allow zoned climate control across all three levels. Additional upgrades include new windows with transferable warranty, new electrical, copper plumbing, smart water heater, new furnace, washer/dryer, and more.
The home is north-facing and filled with natural light thanks to its open western exposure and the adjacent grassy church lot with no neighboring structure immediately beside it.
Located in a welcoming, tight-knit neighborhood known for its Fourth of July block parties, community garden, and proximity to KIPP elementary school and a beautiful new public library that hosts regular events. Exciting development nearby includes the RFK site with plans for a potential grocery store and other amenities on the horizon.
This home offers soul, smarts, and serious style. Don't miss your chance to own one of the coolest kitchens—and one of the best values—east of the river.
