About this House

Freshly Renovated Three-Bedroom Home Near the Ivy City Business District

Renovations have recently been completed on this alluring Ivy City row home, and the results are sure to impress!

The main level of the home offers an open floorplan with plenty of windows at the front, side, and rear of the property. The entirety of the living area is equipped with recessed lighting that spotlights beautiful hardwood flooring. An elongated layout of this level allows for separation between the living space and dining space with a half bathroom in between. The kitchen sits at the rear of this level and features stainless steel appliances surrounded by white shaker cabinetry with white stone countertops. Just behind the kitchen is a laundry nook with full-sized stacked Samsung units.

Head up a beautiful staircase to three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The first bedroom sits at the front of the home and offers great light through three large windows. Next door is the first full bathroom accessible from the hallway. The primary bedroom is located in the middle of this floor and features great closet space and its own ensuite full bathroom. The third bedroom sits at the rear of the home and overlooks an expansive rear yard.

Just outside the back door and attached to the rear of the home is the utility room that houses the HVAC system and an on-demand water heater. An elevated wooden deck is positioned just beyond and is a great spot for patio furniture. Heading up the stone planters to the rear of the yard brings you to a large shed, perfect for storing seasonal items and landscaping equipment. At the front of the home, you will find some additional outdoor space to include a smaller concrete/planter patio and a tree that offers great spring/summer shade.

This magnificent home is located near plenty of landmarks, restaurants, and conveniences. For groceries, MOM's Organic Market is just around the corner, and Trader Joe's, Safeway, and Giant Foods are all about a mile away. The recent development of Hecht Warehouse District puts you in the shadow of a host of great businesses including Target, Compass Coffee, Ivy City Smokehouse, and Ghibellina to name a few. Union Market District is less than of a mile away and provides plenty more establishments to explore. This home is also found near Gallaudet University, Trinity University, and The Catholic University of America.

When it comes time to get around you can make use of several Metrobus routes that include D4, D8, and S2.

    "there is a homeless people shelter around the corner, constant ambulances and police are there. Not a good place to live if you'd like to take a quick walk outside. "

    "I’ve lived here for 2 years, it’s a little dicey with the homeless shelter and panhandlers, but it’s got a great character, needs more residents."

    "Fun up and coming neighborhood with local distilleries, breweries, and even a cidery. On the outskirts of DC, so residents tend to have more artsy and creative jobs vs work in politics. A bit tricky without a car as the metro is not within walking distance, but lots of new retail coming in that I believe will make Ivy City much more of a destination in the next few years! "

    "This is a new, up and coming neighborhood in DC. While there's still lots of room for development, there are some wonderful assets in this industrial neighborhood! Four distilleries and a brewery within walking distance, a local fish market with super friendly service, an organic grocery store, and an urban winery/music venue slated to open this month. (April 2018) Lots of retail [including Target] coming in the next year(s) and neighbors are friendly! Ivy City Smokehouse and La Puerta Verde can't be beat, and Ari's Diner has THE BEST pancakes. For real, I don't even like pancakes!! Downsides: it's difficult without a car, lots of "transients" in the neighborhood who will approach you, and very little green space, so not ideal for dogs. (Though National Arboretum is pretty close!) Hoping improvements in those areas are also on the horizon! "
