**Just Two Blocks from the Metro Station** OPEN HOUSE THIS SUNDAY 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. Welcome to this rare fully renovated detached home in the heart of Anacostia's Historic District. This single family home features 6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Fully gutted down to the studs with brand-new plumbing and electrical throughout. Upon entering the home, you're greeted with top-of-the-line hardwood floors throughout. The main level features a large family room combined with a dining area, leading to two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and onward to the kitchen, which opens to a large backyard with an additional exit to the alleyway. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms and one full bathroom. The basement offers a spacious recreational room that can also serve as a sixth bedroom. What truly sets this detached home apart is its private side entrance to the basement — perfect for use as a home office, guest suite, or separate living space — along with direct access to the rear alleyway. The basement also has plumbing access to add a bathroom down there. Conveniently located just two blocks from the Anacostia Metro Station and minutes to 295 and 395, and just steps from grocery stores, dining, bars, and everything else Anacostia has to offer. This one won't last!
