The main level features an open-concept design with modern fixtures and finishes, setting the stage for sophisticated comfort and design not commonly found in similar homes. The kitchen is the heart of this exquisite home, recently renovated with gleaming quartz countertops and top-tier stainless-steel appliances. On the second level, you will find two spacious and sunlit bedrooms, along with a full bathroom boasting intricate custom tilework. The lower level offers a versatile third bedroom and an additional full bathroom, complete with a separate rear entrance that provides flexibility for guests or potential rental income. The brand new HVAC system ensures comfort throughout the seasons, while the private fenced-in backyard caters to both quiet relaxation and entertaining guests. The home features all new mechanical systems, appliances, and roof, which will allow for low maintenance living for the new owner.
This home is located in a prime spot that offers much more than just a beautiful house - it's an investment in an up-and-coming urban lifestyle. Situated in Barry Farms, this property is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the ambitious Barry Farm Redevelopment Project, which aims to provide 1,000 residential units and 40,000 square feet of retail and community space by 2030. Outside of the home, the larger community offers a variety of options for dining, shopping, and leisure activities. The lively retail and dining scene of Martin Luther King Jr. Ave is less than a mile away, while the Anacostia Metro Station, just 0.6 miles from the property, provides easy access to the wider DC area. With the neighborhood in the midst of a transformation, now is the perfect opportunity to turn this sophisticated abode into your personal haven in the heart of it all.
