2402 24th St SE Washington, DC 20020

You don't have to choose between convenience and breathing room here. You get both: space, serenity, and a true sense of retreat, without sacrificing city access. This split-foyer home in the Skyline neighborhood of DC is the kind of place that quietly makes everyday life easier. Nearly 2,000 square feet unfolds across two well-defined levels, offering space where you want it, separation when you need it, and enough thoughtful updates that you're not mentally renovating as you walk through. The lower level offers an open, easy flow between the living, dining, and kitchen spaces, with wood-look vinyl plank flooring, soft neutral tones, and generous windows that keep everything feeling light and bright. This is where daily life flows easily. The kitchen is designed for actual use, not just photos. Marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, rich wood cabinetry, and a clean tile backsplash create a polished look, but the real win is how it functions. There's room to prep, cook, store, and move without bumping into each other, whether it's a quiet Tuesday night or a lively evening with friends. The dining area comfortably accommodates a full-size table and opens directly to the backyard through sliding glass doors, creating a natural connection to the outdoors and making meals, gatherings, and warm-weather evenings feel effortless. A convenient half bath sits on this level, along with direct access to the one-car garage. Secure parking and extra storage are small details that quietly change your daily routine, especially in the city. Groceries, kids, luggage, and gear all move in and out with less effort. Upstairs, a generously sized living room anchors the level with real hardwood floors and a warm accent wall. It's the kind of room that easily holds everyday life and bigger moments, movie nights, holidays, or simply spreading out without feeling crowded. Three well-proportioned bedrooms share this level, each filled with natural light and a sense of calm. The primary bedroom feels restful and uncluttered, paired with a modern ensuite bathroom featuring clean tile and glass shower enclosures that won't date themselves. One bedroom is currently staged as a home office, a realistic reflection of how many people live today, but it functions fully as a bedroom. A second renovated full bathroom completes the level with the same clean, timeless finishes. Outside is where this home quietly shines. Step from the dining room onto the patio, perfect for grilling, soaking in sunshine, or an evening cocktail with friends. The backyard includes raised garden beds ready for herbs, vegetables, or flowers, along with a storage shed that keeps tools, bikes, and seasonal gear out of your living space. It's a yard that invites you to use it, not just maintain it. The location ties it all together. Living in Skyline means you're within walking distance of Skyland Town Center, where everyday errands are refreshingly simple. Lidl, Safeway, CVS, Roaming Rooster, Mezeh, &pizza, and other neighborhood favorites are close enough to be convenient without bringing traffic or congestion home with you. Quick access to Suitland Parkway and I-295 keeps commuting straightforward. With a renovated kitchen and bathrooms, solid mechanical updates, a functional layout, a garage, and outdoor space that adds real value to daily life, this home offers something increasingly rare: comfort, flexibility, and peace of mind in a neighborhood that continues to grow in both convenience and appeal. If you're looking for a home that supports how you live now and still makes sense for what's next, this one is worth experiencing in person.
