CUTEST 3-LEVEL HOME WITH PRIVATE OUTDOOR SPACE + THOUGHTFUL UPDATES THROUGHOUT! Completely reimagined from top to bottom, this 3-story residence blends modern upgrades with effortless, comfortable living. A beautifully remodeled kitchen anchors the main level, complemented by a custom built-in coffee & beverage bar and a welcoming family room with fireplace. From the kitchen, step out into your own private outdoor retreat, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Upstairs, a smart layout offers three bedrooms and a full bath, while the lower level provides flexible living space with a family room, custom built-ins, a full bathroom, washer/dryer, and a utility room with additional storage. There’s an undeniable good energy here—meticulously maintained and thoughtfully improved over time by the owner. Major system and capital improvements have been thoughtfully completed over the years, including a new roof (2026), HVAC replacement with an added upstairs return for improved airflow (2025), and a new hot water heater (2024). The kitchen was fully remodeled (2022), with custom built-ins added in the basement the same year (2022). Additional upgrades include a skylight installation (2018), new front stairs, porch, and a thoughtfully designed trash alcove with stucco patio walls (2014), and noise-dampening front windows (2007). The lead service line was replaced through the DC program (2006), with no lead pipes remaining in the home. A sewer clean-out was added to the front garden, and a stone retaining wall was installed (2010), rounding out a long list of meaningful, well-executed improvements. Local favorites nearby include Ulivo for cozy Italian dinners, Thip Khao for some of the city’s best Lao cuisine, and Taqueria Habanero for neighborhood-favorite tacos and margaritas. The Columbia Heights Metro (green/yellow) is about a 7-10 minute stroll. This home is just moments to some of DC’s best restaurants, bars, and shopping along the vibrant 11th Street and U Street corridors, with endless options for dining, coffee, and nightlife right outside your door. A SMART condo alternative! This one won't last...
