1st Open Sun 10/25 2-4pm. COVID safety strictly followed! All must wear masks and keep 6' distance; only 2 groups allowed in house at a time, on different floors; all must provide CDC contact tracing info before entry. Thanks for understanding and complying. Pro photos will be uploaded as soon as available. A perfect starter home/large condo alternative, this flexible 2BR+office/1.5BA rare FREE-STANDING porch front house is steps to 2 parks and everything you love about the Hill. Relax on the front porch and chat with neighbors while looking onto the cute front yard sheltered by a crape myrtle. The spacious and beautiful new kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances (including built-in microwave and 5-burner gas stove), copious cabinets and lighted drawers, pantry, custom tile backsplash, and long peninsula breakfast bar. An oversize kitchen window looks onto the front porch and is a great spot for a demi-lune table. The separate living room features an exposed brick woodburning fireplace, new built-in bookcases, and fun light fixture. The entire first floor has new wood floors, and there's a large coat closet that goes all the way under the stairs. By re-imagining space at the rear of the main level and replacing the old HVAC and water heater with a new mini-split system plus an on-demand gas water heater, the owners were able to add a subway-tiled half bath and to create a bright space to use as a dining room or spacious 2nd WFH area. The 2 windows and sliding glass door open onto a small private patio. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms with wood floors and custom built-in cabinetry closets, a hall closet, plus a beautiful new subway-tiled bathroom. The rear bedroom has a separate office with a wall of windows and a nook with side-by-side washer/dryer plus storage. The front bedroom has a wall of built-in bookcases, too. Rare at-grade entry both front and back makes for easy access with groceries, strollers or bikes. Enjoy living equidistant from Stanton and Lincoln Parks, and a short stroll to Maury Elementary, shopping, restaurants, Eastern Market, H Street, multiple Capital BikeShares, Metros, and bus lines. Carpe Diem!
