About This Home
3 Bedroom, 1/4 Bath, end-unit brick town home with lots of windows and a free-standing brick garage out back (fully-brick garage was built with the house, is presently not in use, and ready to be brought back to use). Nice front porch, and ample green spaces in front and back yards. Total of 1,594 sq. ft. in this home (1,056 sq. ft. living space / 538 sq ft unfinished in basement). Original hardwood floors in great condition, in living & dining areas (small area of dining hardwoods needs a little love), original wood stairway, upper hallway and master bedroom. Galley kitchen needs updating. Spacious, unfinished walkout basement with 1/4 bath, perfect for easy family room reno (new walls, ceiling and floor), great potential for new utility and storage spaces, and for expanded 2-piece or 3-piece bath. Top level has 3 nice-sized bedrooms, with 1 full Bath. 2nd bedroom needs minor ceiling tile work repair. This is a great starter home waiting for the right family, and it's a great investment with good bones. Quiet neighborhood, conveniently located off Pennsylvania Ave - 10 minutes to 295, Capitol Hill, Eastern Market, Union Station or downtown DC. A few blocks from Southern Avenue over to Forestville Mall and the Beltway via Pennsylvania Avenue (15- 20 minutes ). Great value for the money, and STRICTLY "AS IS". 24-hour Notice for all showings. Times: 1pm - 7pm Daily.
