Description

Welcome home to historic Anacostia. This modern row-home has it all! The first floor has an open concept family room, dining room and kitchen. The owners thought of everything when they redesigned this home. There are hardwood floors throughout. They even restored the 115 year old hardwood floors upstairs! The kitchen has stainless steel everything, granite countertops and a 12 foot island. There is also a HE Electrolux washer/dryer just off the kitchen. There's ample storage in the wall-to-wall cabinets and shelves. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, a hallway bathroom with marble tile for guests and a primary suite with two closets and a en-suite bathroom with pebble stone floor shower and a skylight to brighten your mornings. The stairwell also has a skylight! This home is on quiet U Street and is less than one block to the famous DC restaurant, Busboys and Poets. There are several coffee shops and other eateries in this revitalized historic neighborhood. You are a 12 minute walk from the Anacostia metro station (Green line), 6 minute walk to Starbucks, a 10 minute drive to Joint Base Anacostia Bolling, Washington Navy Yard, Ft McNair, Nats stadium, and Audi field. Your parties will leave your friends envious of your amazing fenced in backyard with a large main deck outfitted with a grille and a heat lamp for those chilly fall events and a shared side deck. The cellar has plenty of storage space to put away those lawn tools and holiday decorations. Welcome home to this gem on U Street! **Teachers, active duty military and law enforcement officers receive a monthly rent discount**

    "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."
