About this home
Single Family · Built 1941
Welcome to 525 Oakwood Street SE, a beautifully renovated 5-bedroom 3-bathroom home, with a full bathroom on each floor, and over 1800 square feet of finished living space. Thoughtfully updated with new HVAC, upgraded windows, new lights and fixtures, and a completely new kitchen, you'll find modern amenities and classic charm throughout, including refinished original hardwood floors, a beautiful brick and stone exterior, and a cozy covered front porch. Upon entering the foyer, you'll discover the main level includes dedicated living area and dining spaces, and a fully updated kitchen with shaker cabinets, quartz counters, and stainless appliances including a gas range. The main floor powder room also includes a full bath/shower allowing for the possibility of one-level living if needed! Head upstairs to the bedroom level and enjoy a spacious primary bedroom which offers a walk-in closet and room for additional storage, along with two additional bedrooms and a shared full bathroom off the hallway. The lower level allows for additional storage space and also two additional bedrooms, and the 3rd full bathroom, in addition to walkout access to the rear yard and side entrance. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a cozy front patio and a fenced-in backyard, ideal for relaxation and recreation. Both yards have been cleared and seeded and are primed for a wonderful Spring growing season! This home is conveniently located within walking distance to the Congress Heights metro and also to Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB), and nearby are new developments at the Bridge District, Barry Farms, St. Elizabeth's East, and the new Cedar Hill Medical Center. You'll also appreciate the easy access to I-295, which makes commuting in and out of downtown a breeze and I-495 and National Harbor is less than 5 minutes away!
