Property Description
Welcome Home!! A Rare Opportunity in One of Southeast D.C.'s Fastest-Growing Neighborhoods
This spacious and beautifully positioned residence offers the perfect blend of space, character, and future potential—situated on an exceptionally rare oversized 0.27-acre lot, one of the largest in the area. Complete with engineered hardwood floors, recessed lighting, elegant chair rail detailing, a tray ceiling in the dining area, and expansive front and rear yards, this property delivers both immediate comfort and long-term value. Enjoy three-car off-street parking, a newly installed exterior retaining wall, and charming Hillcrest views, with unique sight lines toward the Washington Monument and U.S. Capitol that create a true sense of place.
Inside, the home unfolds across multiple levels with a versatile layout designed for modern living and effortless entertaining. The main level features four generously sized bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, offering flexibility for everyday living, guests, or work-from-home needs. Bright, comfortable living and dining spaces create an inviting flow throughout.
The kitchen is nicely sized and functional, complete with freshly painted cabinetry, ample storage, and generous workspace—ideal for both daily use and hosting.
Upstairs, the private primary suite is set apart from the main living areas, offering a spacious retreat with a well-appointed en-suite bath. One of the additional bedrooms features a cozy fireplace, creating a warm and unique space perfect for relaxation.
The lower level offers unfinished space ready for your vision—whether you choose to create additional living areas, a guest suite, home office, gym, or entertainment space, the possibilities are truly endless.
What truly sets this property apart is the expansive lot—offering rare outdoor space in the city with endless potential for expansion, outdoor living, gardening, or future customization. Properties with this much land are hard to find in Washington, D.C., making this a standout opportunity for both homeowners and investors alike.
Outside, enjoy large front and back yards with plenty of room for entertaining, gardening, or simply unwinding. The elevated setting enhances both privacy and the surrounding scenic views.
Ideally located in Southeast D.C., this home provides convenient access to Capitol Hill, downtown D.C., Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, major commuter routes, parks, and neighborhood amenities—making this a compelling opportunity for space, comfort, and long-term growth.
