    What's special

    Private backyardRecessed lightingHardwood floors
    The vision is already underway. Now make it your own! This partially renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bath, three-level DC home is offering an exciting opportunity for both owner-occupants and investors. Much of the transformation has already begun, including an updated kitchen with newer cabinetry, countertops, tile flooring and stainless-steel gas range; recessed lighting; substantial bathroom updates with large-format tile and modern fixtures; and hardwood floors ready to be refreshed. The lower level offers additional flexible space for a recreation room, home office, workout area or media room, along with potential to add a second bathroom, subject to feasibility, permits and applicable DC requirements. A private backyard provides additional space to create a garden, patio or outdoor entertaining area. This isn't about starting from scratch. It's about finishing the vision your way. Owner-occupants may wish to explore FHA 203(k) or other renovation-financing options, subject to lender, borrower and property eligibility, while investors have an opportunity to complete the improvements and enhance the property's potential. Located in Deanwood, enjoy convenient access to Metro and bus transportation, shopping, commuter routes and nearby parks and recreation. Much of the work has been started. The opportunity is in how you finish it. Property is sold strictly AS-IS; seller will make no repairs. Buyer to independently verify property condition, permits, financing eligibility and feasibility of proposed improvements.
