Tucked into one of Old Town’s most cherished blocks, this freestanding historic gem—built in 1830—offers timeless charm, thoughtful updates, and a lifestyle that’s both vibrant and peaceful. Just steps from King Street, leafy parks, neighborhood restaurants, and the Potomac River, the location couldn’t be more ideal. Across the street, a grocery store adds daily convenience, while at home, a beautifully rebuilt brick patio offers a private, cozy retreat—perfect for morning coffee, quiet dinners, or curling up with a book in the sun. Inside, the home is filled with natural light and full of character. The renovated kitchen and baths blend clean design with classic touches, and the wood floors bring a sense of history and warmth to every room. Upstairs, the sunny primary bedroom features a large custom closet, and a pull-down attic offers bonus storage space. With a newer standing seam metal roof, no shared walls, and easy access to Reagan Airport, the GW Parkway, and I-495, this home is as practical as it is poetic. Rarely does a home like this come along—bright, quiet, lovingly updated, and full of soul in the heart of Old Town. Won't last - make your showing appointment today!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
