Perfectly positioned in Old Town’s coveted SE Quadrant, this beautifully refreshed townhome offers historic charm, modern comfort, and unbeatable convenience. Just a few blocks from the waterfront and the vibrant shops and restaurants of King Street, you’ll love being able to stroll to local dining, shopping, and scenic river walks—while still enjoying easy access to everywhere you need to go. A true commuter’s dream, with public transportation very close by. King Street Metro is less than a mile away, and major commuting routes place Amazon’s HQ2, Crystal City, Washington, DC, and National Harbor just minutes from your home. Inside, the home feels bright, welcoming, and thoughtfully updated with fresh paint in Cloud Dancer (the Pantone Color of the Year), new LVP flooring on the main level, and refinished hardwood floors throughout the upper levels. With over 1,900 square feet of above-grade living space, the layout is both generous and functional, featuring three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and multiple spaces to relax or entertain. The spacious kitchen flows easily into the living areas, while two fireplaces add warmth and character. The upper-level family room showcases beautiful built-ins surrounding the fireplace and opens to an expansive deck, perfect for morning coffee or evening gatherings. On the main level, the living room offers direct access to a fenced brick patio, creating a private outdoor retreat ideal for entertaining or simply unwinding. Additional highlights include recessed lighting, a bar area, washer and dryer in the unit, and a large primary suite with ensuite bath. Every detail has been thoughtfully refreshed to create a home that feels both comfortable and move-in ready. This is Old Town living at its best—walkable, connected, and designed for enjoying every moment.
