BACK ON MARKET DUE TO NO FAULT OF THE SELLER. Opportunity is knocking in Barry Farm! This 2-bedroom, 2-bath brick townhome offers a rare chance to build equity in one of SE Washington, DC's up-and-coming neighborhoods. Built in 1939, this solid, classic two-level home delivers approximately 800 sq ft above grade, plus a 400 sq ft basement featuring an additional full bath and flexible bonus space — perfect for a home office, gym, guest suite, or extra storage. Step onto the main level and you'll find an easy flow between the living room, dining area, and kitchen — a layout ready for your personal touch. Upstairs, two comfortable bedrooms share a full bath, offering a smart, efficient footprint ideal for a first-time buyer or a savvy investor. Practical essentials are already in place: public water and sewer, gas forced-air heating, and central A/C — meaning your renovation dollars can go straight toward maximizing value rather than starting from scratch on major systems. Location is a huge win here. Tucked into the historic Anacostia/Barry Farm area, you're just minutes from the Frederick Douglass Bridge, the Anacostia Metro, and some of DC's most exciting redevelopment — plus nearby museums, a year-round ice rink, and the energy of Nationals Park close by. This corridor continues to see strong momentum, making this a smart long-term play for anyone looking to plant a flag in a neighborhood on the rise. Being sold strictly as-is, this is an excellent opportunity for an investor or a hands-on owner-occupant ready to add value and make this home their own. Homes like this — priced to move with real upside — don't stay available long. Come see the potential in person before it's gone again!
