    Welcome to 647 S Columbus Street, a charming three-level brick townhome in Old Town’s sought-after South End. With two bedrooms, one full bath, and a thoughtful layout, this home blends comfort, storage, and style in a prime location. The main level offers open living and dining spaces, a functional kitchen, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Upstairs, the primary bedroom sits alongside a bright, updated bath, while the top level features a versatile second bedroom with built-ins and wool carpeting. A large finished crawlspace provides incredible storage, and recent updates — including HVAC, hot water heater, furnace, windows, and roof — add peace of mind. Out back, the landscaped garden is a private retreat, with evening lighting that sets the stage for entertaining or unwinding with a glass of wine. The community offers two off-street parking spaces per home, guest passes, and a monthly condo fee covering exterior maintenance, water, trash, and sewer — with no pet restrictions. Just blocks from the GW Parkway trail, Balducci’s market, and King Street’s shops and dining, this home combines quiet charm with unbeatable convenience. 647 S Columbus Street is Old Town living at its best.
