Elegant and spacious 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath end-unit townhouse for rent in the wonderful Mt. Pleasant neighborhood of NW Washington DC. Offering over 3,500 square feet across three floors, the home features abundant natural light, a beautifully updated kitchen, a backyard, multiple porches, and off-street parking. Ideally located within easy walking distance of the National Zoo, Rock Creek Park, the public library, multiple grocery stores, and neighborhood shops and restaurants, as well as many bus lines and the Columbia Heights Metro Station for convenient access throughout the city. The location offers an easy commute downtown, with multiple options. Mt. Pleasant is a vibrant, family-friendly community with a strong neighborhood feel.
