    Welcome to 721 Harvard Street NW, a bright and inviting home tucked along a tree-lined street in Columbia Heights. Blending classic DC character with modern-day flexibility, this turn-key home offers an assumable VA loan at just 2.5% available to all buyers, a fully furnished lower-level studio, and the option for off-street parking. Natural light fills the main level, where the living and dining spaces flow easily into the kitchen. A rear door provides direct access to the yard, which can accommodate a compact parking space or be enjoyed as a private patio for outdoor dining and entertaining. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a full bathroom are joined by the convenience of bedroom-level laundry. The lower level adds exceptional versatility with a fully furnished studio featuring its own kitchenette, full bathroom, and separate laundry—ideal for an in-law suite, guest space, work-from-home office, or potential supplemental income. The sellers have successfully operated the studio as an Airbnb and report approximately $26,000 in annual income. Key improvements include the HVAC and tankless water heater replaced in 2019 and a dedicated lower-level mini-split added in 2021. With its sun-filled interiors, flexible floor plan and all that Columbia Heights has to offer within easy reach, 721 Harvard Street NW is a unique opportunity not to be missed.
