Opportunity awaits in the heart of Anacostia! Ideally located just off Martin Luther King Jr. Ave SE, this home offers excellent access to public transportation, commuter routes, and neighborhood dining options—all within walking distance. This home is fully functional and move-in livable, and is priced appropriately for its current condition. It is being sold strictly AS-IS, and the seller will make no repairs. The property shows fairly well, with a renovated bathroom already completed. There is a rear addition that will require some work, offering an excellent opportunity for a buyer to improve and add value. The backyard is level and deep, providing great outdoor potential. With solid above-grade square footage and no basement to maintain, the layout offers practical, easy living. Street parking is readily available, adding to the everyday convenience of the location. This is not a turnkey property—it’s ideal for buyers with vision. Take this lemon and make lemonade while building equity in a growing area. Please note: Property will not qualify for FHA financing. Ideal for cash, conventional, or renovation loan buyers. Excellent investor opportunity.
