Ideal for a first-time investor, developer, or owner-occupant looking to build sweat equity, this home is brimming with possibilities.

Located in an established, tree-lined neighborhood, the home is minutes from Walmart, Rock Creek Park Golf Course, trails, and shopping. Commuting is simple with easy access to both Green Line and Red Line Metro stations with parking. Surrounded by multiple schools, including charter options, this home is perfectly positioned for families and professionals alike.
