This updated 3BR + DEN (4th BR)/2.5BA three-level rowhome features lovely curb appeal with mature landscaping and perennial flowers, an open and airy floor plan, hardwood floors, and floods of natural light from the several windows and large skylights throughout the home. The main level of the home features a spacious living and dining space, plus a powder room that is ideal for guests. You'll enjoy preparing your favorite meal or entertaining in the gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, built-in filtered water faucet, warm modern cabinetry, granite countertops, and a large island for additional storage and cooking space. Off the kitchen, there is easy access to your PRIVATE FENCED BACKYARD complete with a flagstone patio, easy-to-maintain landscaping, mature mulberry tree for extra shade, a fun tree house, storage shed, and off-street 2-CAR PARKING! On the second level, you'll find two spacious bedrooms, one with a large walk-in closet, plus a full bathroom, laundry area, and bonus den with a large skylight and custom built-in shelving that could also function as an additional bedroom, nursery, or home office! The top floor provides ultimate privacy as it is solely home to the owner's primary bedroom with multiple closets and easy access to the roof, plus a full bathroom and more decorative built-in shelving in the hallway. One of the many highlights of this home is its ENERGY EFFICIENCY with TWO SOLAR PANEL SYSTEMS that brings the electric bill almost to zero for half the year PLUS earns around $1,000 in SREC income per year. Additionally, mini-splits systems were installed in 2015 to help heat/cool the home more efficiently. Tucked away in Capitol Hill to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, this property is still within minutes to four neighborhood parks with playgrounds, tennis & volleyball courts, and dog park, plus a large gym, Whole Foods, and roughly a 10-minute walk to Navy Yard, Nats Park, and Eastern Market. You're also just one block to I-695/395 and several Metro stations. You'll absolutely LOVE it here!
