The pictures tell the story of a house designed to please the eye and make city living easy – hardwood floors, custom staircase rails, light fixtures, countertops and backsplashes to make you smile, large closets, a porch, a deck, but there is more . . .

***Come home to a true neighborhood and a quiet street – a place where your neighbors know you, and friendliness are hallmarks of the community.

***Park in two rear spaces and note a balance of resident parking, weekday core hour time limits, and unrestricted parking spaces nearby (your guests will thank you).

***The historic exterior is 1917, but everything else – from the roof down, the walls in, and the ground up - is 2023. Major repairs are years away.

***Metro is two blocks away – buses and subway.

***The well-lit exterior features bright, dusk to dawn, motion sensing lights all around the house.

***The yards (front and back) are fenced, and you can go from the front yard to the back yard of this detached house.

***The large living room opens to the dining room and the kitchen with soft- close, solid wood cabinets, easy care quartz countertops and appliances for full-scale, or quick and easy cooking.

***The coat closet near the kitchen, like the upstairs linen closet, are not found in every house

***The first floor half bath is tucked away for privacy, yet is convenient from inside or outside

***The side door to the rear is just before the addition that can be a den or fourth above ground bedroom - with attached full bath.

***Bath storage and quality are optimized with solid wood cabinets, medicine cabinets (not found in every house), porcelain tiles, and distinctive fixtures in every bath.

***Do laundry out of the way in the large basement space and store all kinds of 'stuff' from bikes to holiday decorations to out of season clothes to tools and extra supplies. Use the basement door for direct access to the exterior.

***Eco-friendly and budget conscious features include fans in most rooms, dual-zone HVAC, efficient washer and dryer, energy efficient windows, water-conserving dual flush toilets.

***Visit Busboys and Poets, Starbucks and other eateries, Cedar Hill Urgent Care, Anacostia Playhouse, several banks, parks, Frederick Douglass National Historic Site, Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum, all a short distance away.

***Less than 15 minutes away - are Nationals Ballpark, Audi Field, The Wharf, Arena Stage, Capitol Hill, Anacostia River Trail, Navy Yard Boardwalk; shop at Safeway, Whole Foods, Harris Teeter, or have Amazon Fresh deliver.

***Routes 295, 395, and 695 are immediately accessible. Route 495 is a short drive down route 295.

***Special notes: the real estate tax amount shown in the listing reflects the current assessment, tax rate and no homestead exemption. Taxes for an owner-occupied home estimated with an applicable assessed value, tax rate and homestead exemption will change the tax amount. Construction of nearby apartments and offices is nearing completion as are construction traffic and parking; a police training academy is one block away on Martin Luther King Avenue. Welcome home!
