Property description
Updated row home with secured private parking and an entertainer's dream back yard. This is a lovingly maintained row home in Capitol Hill East. The white and stainless kitchen features gas cooking, quartz counters, plenty of cabinet space, and full sized stainless steel appliances. Off the kitchen is a large laundry room/mudroom/den that leads out to the spectacular back yard. The fully fenced in back yard features an outdoor kitchen with built in gas grill and beverage refrigerator, outdoor TV, storage benches with cushions, heater, sun shades, turf grass, lighting, privacy fencing, and secured parking with roll up garage door. All of the exterior doors have been replaced in the last few years. The main level has wood looking ceramic tile and a half bath with bidet seat off the living room. Follow the exposed brick up the stairs to 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. The primary suit is large enough to accommodate a king sized bed along with dressers. The closet has organizers to help with added storage. The 2nd bedroom is spacious enough to accommodate a queen sized bed, or set it up as an office or nursery. The updated bathroom offers glass tile, a floating vanity, and bidet seat. There is a community garden directly behind the home, accessed through the alley or the back rollup door. A garden space coveys with the sale (first one as you walk into the garden). The community garden offers water, a pergola with seating, a kids play area, and an open green space to run around in, and beautiful perennial flowers. It is an oasis in the city and one of the best community gardens! There is a $200 per year fee to help maintain the garden and pay for water. The location is amazing. It is 2.5 blocks from Stadium Armory, less than a mile to Barracks Row and Eastern Market, 1/2 mile to Safeway, lots of parks and green space nearby.
