Property Description
This prime 2-unit building offers an exceptional opportunity for savvy investors and owner-occupants alike - live in one unit while the rental income from the other helps to cover your ownership costs. The location puts you just one block from the Roost and Potomac Ave Metro, easily connecting you to the rest of the city. Each unit offers one bedroom and one full bath, with plenty of original architectural detail. Separate in-unit laundry adds everyday convenience, while solar panels reduce your monthly energy costs, and preserved millwork, wood floors, and radiators provide plenty of historic charm.
