Sorry, Open House cancelled. Under contract. Surround yourself in light, with private outdoor space AND parking too! Bright open plan 2BR/2BA home features exposed brick and wood floors. Sunny living room at front is bathed in light by double windows and opens to the kitchen with breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, tall cabinets, and extra storage under the stairs. The open dining room at rear has sliding glass door onto deck for parties indoors or out. Upstairs front ensuite bedroom easily accommodates a queen bed, boasts three windows, 7' of floor-to-ceiling closets, attic and roof access, and an ensuite bathroom with tiled shower and two vanities. Skylit hallway is bright, with large front-loading stacked washer/dryer, second bathroom with a tub and pedestal sink, and a deep hall closet. Working from home? There is space for both a bed and desk in the second bedroom with its bump out bay window. DEEP lot may offer future expansion possibilities too. And you can rest easy knowing there is a brand new HVAC system from June 2020. Enjoy al fresco dining on the spacious rear deck or the pleasant flagstone patio with mature plantings. Massive parking pad with automatic garage door easily accommodates a large vehicle, with plenty of room for bikes, strollers and the storage shed, too. Check out the hidden gem in the alley: a grassy pocket park with a tree. Enjoy living on a quiet street, a short stroll to everything: coffee at the Hill Cafe is 1 block, social distancing mecca Lincoln Park is 4 blocks, Metro is 4 blocks and brand-new Maury is 5 blocks. A few blocks east are the tennis and basketball courts at Eastern, new ballfields and upcoming redevelopment of RFK and Reservation 13, plus easy access to the Anacostia River Bike Trail, the Arboretum, or BW Parkway/I-95.
