Description

In 1890 Colonel Arthur E. Randle, a successful newspaper publisher decided to found a settlement east of the river which he called Congress Heights. Randle understood the Pennsylvania Ave bridge would bring rapid development east of the Anacostia River, and he successfully paved the way. Situated within moments from the metro, downtown DC and the beltway alike, this apartment building comprised of four two-bedroom apartments is primed for investor success with annual rents above 74k.

Situated within moments from the metro, downtown DC and the beltway alike, this apartment building comprised of four two-bedroom apartments is primed for investor success with annual rents above 74k. Completely renovated in 2020, every unit features quartz countertops, brand new flooring, along with an in-unit washer/dryer. Excellent opportunity to start the decade with a solid investment, or a place to live while supplementing your mortgage. The property is vacant however virtual tours are offered at your convenience.
