Who doesn't love the coziness that Ledroit Park has to offer? Perhaps not even a square mile, just a few quaint blocks make home to Little Ledroit Park. All who live here swear by the neighborhood. A quintessential blend of Victorian turn of the century restored homes meets contemporary sleek studios, the likes of which you find on Park Avenue. The neighborhood has evolved before our eyes; home to Thai Bistros, artsy coffee houses and succulent Italian cuisine. If you haven't been here in 6 months you may not recognize the place.
Sitting in the crux of Georgia Avenue, U Street, North Capitol and Rhode Island Avenue lies this hidden gem. A little twist of French flair, this park was developed to be a very exclusive community in the mid 1800's. No more than 8 to 9 streets encompassed the community and not much has changed in the 21st Century. Still home to gorgeous Victorians a touch of Avant-garde has made it's way into the private community. UPDATES---In the video above I said "I haven't had an opportunity to try Beau Thai but heard it was awesome." Well I tried it on last Friday evening with my hubby, right before my last appointment for the evening. I arrived at 6:00pm, we were seated immediately by a smiling hostess and she left no stone unturned to ensure our comfort. We ordered our food and in 15 minutes we were eating two succulent dishes of authentic Thai cuisine. Delectable dishes of spicy Seafood Fried Rice and the famed Drunken Noodle. As we sat there eating and enjoying the simplistic design of the restaurant it quickly filled up for a packed house. Awesome date night treat!

Ledroit has come of age from its predecessor of the 1800's adding luxurious condos to this whimsical community. Introducing the Ledroit Park Condos located at 1907 3rd street NW. A marvelous little building with 4 units that feature Contemporary finishes, custom ice stone counters, bike storage, washer/dryers and Carrera marble baths. Unfortunately these little hideaways went quickly, the building is completely sold out. Not to despair, the same thing can be had on T Street, 2000 square feet of lush living. Hardwood floors, marble surround luxurious baths, 2 levels, 3 bedrooms 3 bathrooms,rear patio and off street parking.

Beau Thai isn't in LeDroit Park. A lot of the houses you show are in Bloomingdale as well, not LeDroit Park.
ReplyDeleteI realize that they're nearby, but LeDroit Park has some pretty well-defined boundaries, since it's an historic district.
