Property description
Step into the charm of historic Capitol Hill with this delightful townhouse at 511 2nd St SE, nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined one-way street between Garfield and Province Parks. This inviting home offers 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 3 levels spanning 2,196 square feet (per DC tax record). Plus, it comes with the rare convenience of a ONE-CAR GARAGE, an urban treasure! The main level has an arched vestibule entryway with decorative iron front gate, hardwood floors, and high ceilings. Perfect for hosting or unwinding, it features a well-appointed kitchen with sweet bay-window breakfast nook area, ample storage space, and an open-concept living/dining area with cozy fireplace. Sliding glass doors let the sun shine in, and lead you to a private rear back deck, your personal oasis for morning coffee or evening gatherings. Upstairs, you'll find 2 generously sized bedrooms, each with ample natural light, and 2 full bathrooms. The lower level, partially finished, offers endless possibilities, whether you envision a home office, gym, or extra storage space. Located just 1 block to the highly sought-after new Brent Elementary (being rebuilt!), Capitol Hill Day School, St. Peter School, 2 blocks to Whole Foods, corner neighborhood grocery, Capitol South Metro and Pennsylvania Ave shops and dining, and 1 mile to Nationals Park, this home encourages exploring the best that Capitol Hill has to offer. This estate sale property is being offered *AS IS* - a perfect opportunity to make it your own and add your personal touch. Don't miss this chance to own a home in one of DC's most coveted neighborhood pockets! Square footage is approximate and should not be used for property valuation.
