**FIRST OPEN HOUSE: SAT (6/15) 1-3PM** Welcome to 708 5th St SE, a three-bedroom brick rowhome perfectly located in sought-after Capitol Hill and the Brent Elementary School district! This updated 3BR + DEN (4th BR)/2.5BA three-level rowhome features lovely curb appeal with mature landscaping and perennial flowers, an open and airy floor plan, hardwood floors, and floods of natural light from the several windows and large skylights throughout the home. The main level of the home features a spacious living and dining space, plus a powder room that is ideal for guests. You'll enjoy preparing your favorite meal or entertaining in the gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, built-in filtered water faucet, warm modern cabinetry, granite countertops, and a large island for additional storage and cooking space.

Additionally, mini-splits systems were installed in 2015 to help heat/cool the home more efficiently. Tucked away in Capitol Hill to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, this property is still within minutes to four neighborhood parks with playgrounds, tennis & volleyball courts, and dog park, plus a large gym, Whole Foods, and roughly a 10-minute walk to Navy Yard, Nats Park, and Eastern Market.
