Property Description
Beautifully updated semi-detached 3-level home in sought-after Hillcrest, blending classic charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. Windows on three sides fill the home with natural light, and the welcoming covered front porch-featuring a newly repaired and replaced front porch floor (2025)-offers the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee. Inside, hardwood floors span the main and upper levels, complemented by tall ceilings and recessed lighting. The main level flows effortlessly from the spacious living room into a sizable eat-in kitchen featuring granite countertops, gas cooking, stainless steel appliances, tiled backsplash, and a newer dishwasher (2020). The exterior kitchen door was replaced in 2021. Interior updates include fresh paint (2019), custom blinds (2018), updated light fixtures with dimmer switch (2019), and smart home features such as a Nest doorbell (2022) and smart thermostat. Upstairs, you'll find two bright bedrooms and a hall bath, with the bathtub regrouted in 2022. The finished lower level offers a recreation room with tile flooring (carpet replaced in 2018), a full bathroom, and laundry area-plus a new hot water heater (2021). Major system and exterior upgrades provide peace of mind, including a new roof (2024), replacement of half the home's windows (2020), and a fully fenced backyard with a vinyl privacy fence (replaced chain link in 2023). The two-tiered backyard is perfect for entertaining and includes a shed (2020) for additional storage. Front yard landscaping (2020) enhances curb appeal. Located in the charming Hillcrest community, known for its tree-lined streets and neighborhood feel, this home offers convenient access to parks, Anacostia River, and commuter routes. Just minutes to Capitol Hill, Navy Yard, and The Wharf, you'll enjoy easy access to dining, shopping, and major thoroughfares while still savoring the tranquility of this residential enclave.
