About this House

Opportunity awaits in the heart of Anacostia! Ideally located just off Martin Luther King Jr. Ave SE, this home offers excellent access to public transportation, commuter routes, and neighborhood dining options—all within walking distance. This home is fully functional and move-in livable, and is priced appropriately for its current condition. It is being sold strictly AS-IS, and the seller will make no repairs. The property shows fairly well, with a renovated bathroom already completed. There is a rear addition that will require some work, offering an excellent opportunity for a buyer to improve and add value. The backyard is level and deep, providing great outdoor potential. With solid above-grade square footage and no basement to maintain, the layout offers practical, easy living. Street parking is readily available, adding to the everyday convenience of the location. This is not a turnkey property—it’s ideal for buyers with vision. Take this lemon and make lemonade while building equity in a growing area. Please note: Property will not qualify for FHA financing. Ideal for cash, conventional, or renovation loan buyers. Excellent investor opportunity.

    "One of the neighborhood's most famous draws is Cedar Hill, the home of Frederick Douglass and now an historic site run by the National Park Service. Guided tours are your only way inside the home, which includes artifacts that belonged to the former slave-turned-nationally renowned abolitionist. In addition to that home, some 500 other buildings comprise the Anacostia Historic District, featuring unique two-story cottages, Italianate-style architecture and Queen Anne style homes."

    "For as well documented as its history is, Anacostia also provides a serene natural retreat for walkers, hikers and bikers. Hop on the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail (it connects the east and west sides of the river at the 11th Street Bridge and South Capitol Bridge) and explore it from Poplar Point, part of National Capital Parks-East, northeast to the nearby Kenilworth Park & Aquatic Gardens."
