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.

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.
