...Welcome to 712 Congress Street SE — a fully renovated and expanded 7-bedroom residence offering scale, flexibility, and built-in income potential in the heart of Congress Heights. The private-entry lower level includes 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, separate laundry hookups for full-size machines, and a kitchen rough-in—ideal for house hacking, extended living, or creating a flexible income-producing setup

The main level is designed for both everyday living and elevated entertaining, featuring a bright, open-concept layout that effortlessly connects the living and dining spaces. At the center of it all is a beautifully appointed chef’s kitchen with semi-custom cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large island perfect for gathering. Whether hosting dinner parties, holiday gatherings, or quiet evenings at home, this space delivers the ideal balance of function and style, with direct access to a private backyard and patio for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The upper level offers a versatile layout with five bedrooms, providing the flexibility —whether for working from home, hosting guests, or creating dedicated spaces for fitness, hobbies, or quiet. The owner’s suite serves as a true escape, featuring a custom-designed bathroom with a jetted soaking tub and refined finishes that elevate daily living. The fully finished lower level expands the home’s possibilities with its own private entrance and thoughtfully designed layout. With two bedrooms, a full bath, separate laundry hookups, and a full kitchen rough-in (digitally enhanced in photos), this level is perfectly positioned for a guest suite, long-term rental, or private workspace. Outside, enjoy a private patio, and off-street parking for multiple vehicles. Major upgrades provide peace of mind, including a new roof, gutters, two HVAC systems, and a tankless gas water heater—provide operational efficiency and reduce near-term capital risk. Conveniently located near Congress Heights Metro, I-295, Joint Base Andrews, and neighborhood amenities, this home offers a rare combination of space, flexibility, and long-term value in one of DC’s fastest-growing communities. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a large-format, move-in-ready asset with multiple paths to value creation.
