About this home
Rare opportunity in Washington's Historic Business District! Full of historic character and offering incredible flexibility, 401 N Market Street is well suited for a primary residence, short-term rental, investment property, or potential commercial use. Previously operated as a successful Airbnb, this 4 bedroom, 3 bath property offers generous, flexible spaces that could easily transition from residential living to professional offices, boutique retail, studio or other permitted commercial uses. Original hardwood floors in the foyer and formal sitting rooms showcase more than 125 years of craftsmanship, while thoughtful updates provide modern convenience without taking away from the home's historic charm. The wraparound front porch adds to the property's classic downtown presence, while the large gravel parking area out back provides valuable off-street parking--a rare find in the Historic District. Updates include downstairs HVAC, upgraded electrical, gas tankless water heater, custom walk-in shower in the upstairs primary suite, outdoor shower, newer appliances, fencing improvements and extensive rebuilding of the front porch with a metal roof. A termite prevention contract has been maintained since 2017. Located just blocks from Washington's waterfront, restaurants, breweries, shops and downtown events, this is a unique opportunity to live, work or invest in the heart of downtown Washington.
