    What's special

    Original hardwareThree spacious bedroomsRich original wood trimInviting front porchSolid wood doors
    Brimming with character and timeless craftsmanship, this charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home seamlessly blends historic details with fresh updates and endless potential. Wider than many neighboring homes, it offers a more spacious feel while preserving the architectural charm that makes these classic residences so special. From the moment you arrive, the inviting front porch welcomes you home—a perfect spot for morning coffee, evening conversations, and everything in between. Inside, you'll find the authentic character buyers crave: rich original wood trim, solid wood doors, original hardware, and beautifully refinished hardwood floors throughout. Fresh paint enhances the home's bright, airy feel while preserving its warmth and historic appeal. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms provide comfortable living and flexibility for today's lifestyle. Downstairs, the partially finished basement offers incredible potential—create a family room, home office, gym, playroom, workshop, or additional living space tailored to your needs. Step outside to enjoy the brand-new rear deck, ideal for grilling, entertaining, or simply unwinding. Off-street parking adds everyday convenience and value. The location is equally compelling. Enjoy easy access to the trails and green spaces of Anacostia Park and scenic bike paths. Frequent travelers will appreciate being just minutes from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Nearby neighborhood favorites include Busboys and Poets Anacostia, DCity Smokehouse, Go-Go Museum & Cafe, and Ketcham Recreation Center. Full of warmth, history, and opportunity, this is the kind of home that captures hearts the moment you walk through the door. Move right in, enjoy its charm, and make it your own for years to come.
