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.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
