This is the kind of house that makes you slow down when you walk by. The deep front yard. The stone path. The porch that basically begs for a rocking chair and an iced coffee. Step inside and it keeps getting better. The layout is wide and open, with room to spread out, entertain, or just live your life without bumping into the furniture. There’s even a back flex room that works great as an office, studio, or staging area for backyard parties. Upstairs, you’ve got three real-sized bedrooms, including a vaulted-ceiling primary retreat with custom closets and a gorgeous en suite bathroom. Out back, there’s off-street parking (because parallel parking should not be a daily test) and a secluded area that’s just waiting for a grill and string lights. But what really sets this place apart is the block. The neighbors know each other. They wave. They host parties. They trade pet-sitting favors and extra keys. You’re also right near Pretzel Bakery, Duffy’s, Sala Thai, and the kind of cemetery (Congressional) that doubles as a dog park. Plus, all signs point to big things coming just a few blocks away. The stadium district is already showing signs of life, and you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy it all as it unfolds. Get in while the getting is good! One more thing — this home has an ASSUMABLE VA LOAN with a lower interest rate. If you’re eligible, we’d love to chat about how that could work for you.
