About This Home
As of December 2022All of the most important features in a row house are found in 1526 Gales St, NE; abundance of natural light; sited on a one-way, quiet, tree lined street in a coveted section of Capitol Hill with proximity to the shops and restaurants everyone loves. Walk Score 90! A gem of a semi-detached home with well laid out 1,200 square feet of space for 2 bedrooms and 1 ½ baths, it is a perfect alternative to a condo. A living room, additional sitting room, a dining area and large kitchen complete the main level. Rarely does one get the opportunity to inherit a professionally landscaped yard at this price. These owners put their money where their heart is by having a fully fenced SPECTACULAR back garden/hardscape patio, designed in 2021 by renowned urban garden designers Love & Carrots. Along with making another “room” they use 5 months out of the year, the owners made other improvements to the home in the seven years they have enjoyed living here. Just this month, they had the whole home painted, replaced the kitchen countertops with Granite, a new sink, faucet and refrigerator, had all new carpeting on stairs and upper level installed and a few other things done. Conveniently located near vibrant H street, fabulous restaurants, groceries (Giant, Safeway, Whole Foods), shopping, entertainment, parks, the Rosedale Recreation Center, and public transportation. Close to Union Market and Metro.
