CHARMING CAPITAL COTTAGE THREE BLOCKS TO BARRACKS ROW! Perfectly placed just steps from historic Barracks Row bars and restaurants, Frager’s Hardware, and the Metro, this garden cottage delivers the best of city living inside and out. Originally built in 1884, this inviting home looks petite from the picket fence and brick sidewalk, but features deep front garden, EXPANDED interior footprint, smart functional floor plan, and delightful private deck at the rear. Step inside to a bright custom kitchen, followed by open living and dining spaces, all leading to a lovely wood-burning hearth. Just beyond, savor a spacious deck and private walled garden, ready for grilling, gathering, or growing your own serene green space. Every inch of this level creates a comfortable setting for daily life and easy entertaining. Upstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms bookend a new spa-style bath with double vanity, while a main-level powder room adds everyday convenience. Hardwood floors run throughout, and pristine recent renovations provide peace of mind!
