Opportunity Knocks in Hillcrest – 3-Level Cape Cod with Major Potential!

Welcome to 3512 Carpenter Street SE, a well-loved 3-level Cape Cod nestled in the highly desirable Hillcrest neighborhood—just minutes from Capitol Hill and offering one of D.C.’s best-kept secrets for charm, space, and value.

Featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, this home offers a flexible layout with two bedrooms and a full bath on the main level, a private top-level bedroom, large deck, wood burning fireplace and a partially finished basement with another full bath—ideal for guests, a home office, or future rental potential.

While the home retains a classic, dated aesthetic, it has been meticulously maintained by its long-time owner and is move-in ready. Beneath the carpeting lie beautifully preserved hardwood floors, and the spacious fenced backyard with a deck is ready for entertaining or expansion.

Whether you're a homeowner ready to customize and build equity over time, or an investor seeking your next high-ROI project, this is the perfect canvas. With renovated homes in Hillcrest regularly commanding prices near $1 million, the upside here is undeniable.

Location Highlights:

Tucked into a quiet, tree-lined street in Hillcrest—known for its tight-knit community, rolling hills, and suburban feel within city limits

Easy access to Pennsylvania Ave, Capitol Hill, downtown D.C., and commuter routes

Close to Fort Dupont Park, Hillcrest Recreation Center, and local retail & dining

Bring your vision and unlock the full potential of this rare Hillcrest gem!
