About this House

Welcome to 1227 Talbert Street SE, a beautifully restored and thoughtfully updated early-20th-century residence located within the Historic Anacostia boundary. Set on a rare ¼-acre lot in the District, this home offers an exceptional combination of architectural character, scale, outdoor space, and modern efficiency. Originally constructed in 1924, the home reflects the craftsmanship and proportions associated with Sears, Roebuck & Co.–era kit-inspired homes, blending timeless design with today’s comforts. The property offers over 3,000 square feet of living space, including three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a den, and a bonus room—providing flexibility for a variety of lifestyles. Large rooms throughout the home—particularly the bedrooms, basement, living room, and dining room—create versatile spaces ideal for hosting gatherings or everyday living. A comprehensive renovation was completed in 2022 at a substantial cost, followed by an additional investment of over $92,000 in improvements completed through late 2025, further enhancing the home’s functionality, efficiency, and overall quality. Highlights include a gas fireplace, new Pella windows, an updated electrical panel with whole-house surge protection, a new washer and dryer, new flooring on the upper and lower levels, and fresh paint throughout, while original hardwood floors have been preserved on the main level. Exterior and systems improvements include solar panels, a new rear deck, a new rear basement entrance, and an interior French drain system. The solar panels contribute to the home’s overall efficiency and affordability, with the current owner reporting an average monthly electric bill of approximately $78.45. Outdoor living is a standout feature, with a welcoming front porch, an expansive rear deck, and a deep, usable yard ideal for gardening, entertaining, and everyday enjoyment. From the rear deck, enjoy views of the Washington Monument and the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge, with views of the U.S. Capitol visible from the yard. Located just a six-minute walk to the Anacostia Metro Station (Green Line), the home offers an easy commute, enhanced by nearby bike and walking trails. Residents enjoy close proximity to Anacostia Park, featuring riverfront trails, open green space, a kayak launch, skating rink, and playground. The neighborhood continues to thrive with new restaurants, cafés, and local businesses, including Sweet Tooth Café, Grounded plant shop and wellness studio, and the newly opened Atlas Brew Works with Andy’s Pizza. A new grocery store is currently under construction, with Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center nearby and a GW-affiliated urgent care just around the corner—bringing modern convenience to this historic setting. Recent research uncovered a striking discovery: this home was built in 1924—more than a decade earlier than the 1936 construction date long reflected in tax records. That revelation opened an entirely new chapter in the home’s story, including an ongoing investigation into whether it may be an original Sears Roebuck & Co. kit home. Records confirm the original owner was Howard Phipps, who held the property for many years; while some evidence suggests he may have been the son of Henry Phipps Jr., a business partner of Andrew Carnegie, definitive confirmation remains elusive. The mystery continues, inviting the next owner to further explore and document the home’s remarkable journey through time. Ask the listing agent what has been uncovered so far—and what questions remain.
