707 Burns St SE, Washington, DC 20019

Welcome to 707 Burns Street SE, a well-appointed semi-detached townhouse in the quiet residential neighborhood of Fort Dupont Park. This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers a compelling combination of meaningful upgrades and livable comfort, with standout features that set it apart from anything else in the neighborhood. The primary level features an open floor plan with generous living and dining spaces, beautifully enhanced by interior shutters that allow natural light to gently filter throughout the home. A functional kitchen with shaker cabinetry leads to a light-filled sunroom, an indoor-outdoor retreat ideal for gatherings, dining, or simply unwinding. The upper level offers two generous bedrooms, a full bathroom, and ample storage throughout. The recently updated basement adds substantial flexible square footage with two distinct living areas and a second full bathroom, creating the perfect setup for a home office and rec room, media lounge and guest space, or other flexible living arrangements. A high-efficiency Daikin heating and cooling system installed in 2021 provides comfort while helping reduce energy costs year-round through its smart dual-fuel design. Outside, a large private backyard, screened-in porch, and patio create an inviting extension of the home’s living space, offering room to relax, entertain, garden, and gather with ease. The rear yard also offers alley access with space for parking. Custom planters surround the backyard, while the garden beds feature rich, chemical-free soil that has been intentionally cultivated and improved for over 20 years. Throughout the property, medicinal perennials and trees, and thoughtfully selected plantings create a layered, intentional outdoor environment that rewards daily interaction. This residence is just steps from DC's Fort Circle Trail system and Fort Dupont Park, one of the city's most beloved green spaces with wooded trails, a community garden, and a free summer concert series. Ridge Road Community Center, with its outdoor pool, fitness center, and basketball courts, is a 9-minute walk, and Benning Road Metro (Blue/Silver) is just 20 minutes by foot. The restaurants and nightlife of the H Street Corridor and Capitol Hill are not far, and I-295 and I-695 provide convenient access within the city and to the suburbs.
