$5000 SELLER CREDIT OFFERED: Thoughtfully renovated in 2016/2017 and extensively refreshed in 2026, 817 20th Street NE offers the space and versatility of a modern city home with three bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, multiple living areas, and fantastic private outdoor space in the heart of Trinidad. The open-concept main level is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with beautifully restored and restained red oak hardwood floors connecting the spacious living and dining areas to a bright, modern kitchen. A wall of windows fills the space with natural light, while the kitchen features abundant counter space, a large breakfast bar, new lighting above the island, a new refrigerator and wine fridge, newer dishwasher, and induction range. An updated powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms each feature their own private en-suite bathroom, creating two comfortable retreats. Both bathrooms feature newly updated vanities, while the primary bedroom has been enhanced with new lighting. A conveniently located laundry closet with a newer washer and dryer makes daily living that much easier. The fully finished lower level provides exceptional flexibility with new LVP flooring, a spacious recreation room, a third bedroom with great natural light and two closets, and a third full bathroom. Whether used as a private guest suite, home office, gym, media room, or combination of uses, this additional level allows the home to easily adapt to changing needs. Freshly painted throughout, the home also features new carpeting on the stairs to the lower level, custom window treatments, a Nest thermostat, solar panels, and newer gutters with gutter guards. The outdoor spaces have been equally well cared for. The charming front garden features seasonal plantings. Out back, added topsoil and privacy panels enhance the private backyard and garden, creating an inviting setting for grilling, entertaining, gardening, or dining al fresco. For buyers who prioritize off-street parking, the rear of the property also offers the potential to easily add driveway parking while still maintaining functional outdoor space. The location puts an incredible collection of Northeast DC destinations within easy reach. Everyday shopping and groceries are convenient with ALDI, Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe's, Target, and Union Market nearby. Enjoy some of the area's favorite dining and gathering spots, including Daru, Maketto, Bullfrog Bagels, Toki Underground, Hiraya Cafe, Other Half Brewing, Atlas Brew Works Ivy City Brewery & Taproom, and The Roost. When it's time to get outside, take advantage of Langston Golf Course & Driving Range, Kingman Island, The Fields at RFK, Lincoln Park, and the U.S. National Arboretum. Even the United States Capitol is within easy reach, reinforcing just how connected this location is to Capitol Hill and the rest of the city. With the H Street Corridor, Union Market, Capitol Hill, the DC Streetcar, and the continued redevelopment around RFK and the Benning Road corridor all nearby, 817 20th Street NE offers a compelling combination of three finished levels, three bedrooms, 3.5 baths, private outdoor space, potential off-street parking, modern updates, and access to some of Northeast DC's best dining, shopping, and recreation.
