Just Listed: Renovated Expanded Trinity in Wash West
A high-end kitchen and built-ins galore are just two of the things that make this trinity stand out from the crowd.

I think this may be the first time I’ve used the words “elegant” and “trinity” in the same sentence.
Yet “elegant” is the best word to describe the looks of this Wash West renovated expanded trinity house for sale.
Located on one of Wash West’s prized “little streets,” this trinity has just emerged from a complete rebuild that added space to its interior and filled it with tons of built-in storage space in the form of walnut cabinets and bookshelves.
And all that walnut adds an element of refinement to the historically sensitive rehab of this 148-year-old trinity.
Living room
It all begins the moment you walk through the front door into the living room. A built-in walnut bookshelf and bureau stands to the left of the fireplace, the stairs to the basement lie behind a walnut door, and walnut china cabinets sit over the bar seating around the kitchen’s pass-through window.
That last item shows that the owner not only renovated this place elegantly but also thoughtfully. The living room is ideally configured to function as a dining room for a decent-sized dinner party, as the fold-down dining table in the photo above shows. Note also the restored wide-plank heart and pumpkin-pine floors throughout the house.
Kitchen
Beyond the stairs you will find abundant walnut cabinetry in the kitchen, which has lots of storage and work space.
Kitchen
With Bosch stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and imported hand-chiseled limestone slab floors, this kitchen may also be one of the classiest I’ve yet run across in a trinity. Not to mention one of the larger.
Rear patio
And behind the kitchen, a patio offers room for outdoor relaxation.
Basement bathroom and laundry
Something else unusual about this Wash West renovated expanded trinity house for sale: It has three full bathrooms. The first one is located in the basement and includes the laundry.
Basement
The finished basement can serve as a rec room, media room, home office or just about anything else you can imagine. It also has a built-in wine storage rack, yet another thoughtful touch.
Bedroom
The second full bathroom sits on the other side of the stair hall from the second-floor bedroom. The bedroom itself has a beamed ceiling, a fireplace, a built-in walnut dresser to the left of the fireplace and the built-in walnut work desk you see in this photo.
Both of the upper-floor bathrooms include walk-in closets for storage of clothes and linens, yet another thoughtful touch.
Primary bathroom
The top-floor bathroom, which once was a roof deck, has dual vanities as well. And like the one on the second floor, it has a modern, nicely outfitted shower stall lined with marble tile. The upper-floor bathrooms also have heated Schluter tile floors.
Primary bedroom
The addition of the bathroom turns the top floor into an actual primary bedroom suite. The primary bedroom also has a beamed ceiling and a built-in bureau.
By now, it should be clear that the owner of this Wash West renovated expanded trinity house for sale did an outstanding job, packing lots of beauty and utility into a comfortable and historic little home. Wait, did I say “little”? With 1,200 square feet of interior space, this house is also larger than your average trinity. Put all of this house’s many attractive features together and its asking price makes sense.
