This one is only for you very few real investor mavens out there. Amateurs need not apply! Major renovation needed for this single-family detached home in the true historic Hillcrest, as defined by the National Capital Planning Commission as being bordered by Branch Avenue, Gainesville St., 32nd St., and Alabama Avenue.

As currently configured, this home has 4 bedrooms and 2-1/2 baths. The upper level is a 3/1, but I'm guessing you'll want to change that. One thing you won't have to change.....it has already got coveted high ceilings and hardwood floors on the top 2 levels. The basement has walkout stairs for egress. The large 3,688sf lot sports a one-car detached garage, and may offer opportunities for expansion. How much would you keep and what would you change? Decisions, decisions!

The Hillcrest area has expanded over the years. The Hillcrest Community Civic Association boasts Hillcrest was once considered suburbs of Washington, D.C., and is often referred to as one of the best-kept secrets of Washington. HCCA adds that it's just 3 miles from the Capitol, and that most of Hillcrest has an altitude of approximately 300 feet above sea level, higher than most of Washington. So if you are looking for a project to test the heights of your skill in a historic part of the District and not just another lipstick reno, grab your tape measure and your calculator and come take a look! Short sale approval required. Estate sale. Offered strictly AS-IS. Bring flashlight and wear sturdy shoes for viewing.
