Set on a rare ¼-acre lot in the District, this home offers an exceptional combination of architectural character, scale, outdoor space, and modern efficiency.

Originally constructed in the mid-1920s, the home reflects the craftsmanship and proportions associated with Sears, Roebuck & Co.–era kit-inspired homes, blending timeless design with today’s comforts. The property offers over 3,000 square feet of living space, including 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, den, and a bonus room, providing flexibility for a variety of lifestyles. Large rooms throughout the home—particularly the bedrooms, basement, living room, and dining room—create versatile spaces ideal for hosting gatherings or everyday living.

A comprehensive renovation was completed in 2022 at a substantial cost, followed by an additional investment of over $92,000 in improvements through late 2025, further enhancing the home’s functionality, efficiency, and overall quality. Highlights include a gas fireplace, new Pella windows, updated electrical panel with whole-house surge protection, new washer and dryer, new flooring on the upper and lower levels, and fresh paint throughout, while original hardwood floors have been preserved on the main level. Exterior and systems improvements include solar panels, a new rear deck, new rear basement entrance, and an interior French drain system.

The solar panels contribute to the home’s overall efficiency and affordability, with the current owner reporting an average monthly electric bill of approximately $78.45.

Outdoor living is a standout feature, with a welcoming front porch, an expansive rear deck, and a deep, usable yard ideal for gardening, entertaining, and everyday enjoyment. From the rear deck, enjoy views of the Washington Monument, the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge, and views of the U.S. Capitol visible from the yard.

Located just a 6-minute walk to the Anacostia Metro Station (Green Line), the home offers an easy commute, enhanced by nearby bike and walking trails. Residents enjoy close proximity to Anacostia Park, featuring riverfront trails, open green space, a kayak launch, skating rink, and playground. The neighborhood continues to thrive with new restaurants, cafés, and local businesses, including Sweet Tooth Café, Grounded plant shop and wellness studio, and newly opened Atlas Brew Works with Andy’s Pizza. A new grocery store is currently under construction, with the Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center nearby and a GW-affiliated urgent care just around the corner—bringing modern convenience to this historic setting.

Additional historical research on the home is ongoing. Ask the listing agent for more interesting facts currently being explored regarding the property’s history and its possible connections to prominent early 20th-century figures and institutions.
