Description

Just when you thought the perfect house wasn't going to show up...well, here it is in Hill East. This lovely 2 bed & 2.5 bath is yours for the taking. Updated from head to toe in 2015, this high-end renovation did not spare any expense in separating itself from the pack. Featuring a gourmet kitchen, two bedrooms with en suites and efficient layout. Conveniently located close to two metros (Potomac Ave & RFK), you'll enjoy what the neighborhood offers now (Pretzel Bakery, yum) and what's in the works (new Safeway, RFK site, etc).
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.

    "Great neighborhood to raise kids. Lots of parks, outdoor theatre, block parties, shopping close by. Area is under development with lots of new restaurants and stores."

    "Stadium is the last Metro stop before orange blue silver lines split apart and go in different directions. This means if you are commuting from Downtown DC is easy, you can jump on any Blue/Orange/Silver train headed East. If you live further out then you need to wait to get on the right blue, silver or orange train and getting home could possibly take much, much longer."

    "Street parking is the worst, so it’s best to have a garage or drive through. It’s super inconvenient to not be able to park in front of or near your house at times"

    "It feels historical, quiet, and residential and has great parks- but it’s still w/in walking distance to shops, restaurants, bike trails (river), freeway entrances, and mass transit. The best place all around that I’ve lived in this city. "

    "Capitol Hill East is an upcoming neighborhood. It has excellent police presence, a bagel bakery, new bars, Harris Teeter, and a charming old school feel about it. Honestly, I don't want to live anywhere else. "
