About This Home

Welcome to 1542 42nd Street SE, a beautifully renovated 3-level row home nestled in the heart of Fort Dupont Park. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom residence combines modern luxury with classic charm, making it the perfect urban retreat.

As you approach, you’re greeted by a charming front porch—ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Step inside to discover a bright, open living space adorned with LVP flooring on all three levels and recessed lighting, creating a contemporary and welcoming ambiance.

The fully redesigned kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring Vita White Shaker cabinets, stunning Calcutta Quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, fridge, dishwasher, and microwave. A subway tile backsplash adds a timeless touch to this sleek, functional space.

Each bathroom has been carefully upgraded with new vanities, stylish porcelain tiles, glass shower doors, and elegant fixtures, creating spa-like retreats on every floor. The fully finished walkout basement adds tremendous versatility with a bedroom and full bathroom—ideal for guests, in-laws, or a private workspace.

Enjoy the convenience of all-new vinyl clad double-pane windows, a high-efficiency HVAC system, a tankless water heater, and recently installed roof shingles, making this home as energy-efficient as it is beautiful. A front-load washer and dryer add to the modern amenities.

Step outside to a fully fenced-in private backyard, perfect for outdoor gatherings or simply relaxing in your own private oasis. This move-in-ready home truly has it all, from stylish upgrades to thoughtful spaces.
