Offer deadline Monday at 10 AM. Welcome to 1117 S Carolina Ave SE, a charming set-back townhome nestled in the heart of Capitol Hill on a sought after block. This renovators dreamscape encompasses 1,400 square feet and is ready for the TLC of someone excited to join the Capitol Hill community and make a home all theirs. Featuring two spacious bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, this property has excellent bones, hardwood floors, and a city dwellers dream outdoor space with private back and front yards. As you enter the wooden arched fence on the side of the home you'll find your front door, access to a fully enclosed storage shed that runs the length of the home, and a path leading to your private backyard. As you enter the home, you're welcomed into the dining area that flows easily into the living room on your left. The kitchen just through the other side of the dining room features the half bath, tucked away around the corner for privacy. With room for an island or expanded kitchen there is so much to offer with a little creativity. The backyard is accessible here as well, just through the sliding glass doors and features a covered deck and a coy-pond (sans coy) just waiting to be rejuvenated. Up the slightly curved staircase, you'll find a spacious landing, easy to utilize as an office, sitting area, or expand to add another bathroom. To the left of the landing immediately as you walk up the stairs is the guest bedroom, overlooking South Carolina Ave and spacious enough for a queen size bed. Also accessible from the landing is the full-bath, featuring a large tub & shower under an incredible sky light. As you walk down the hall you'll find a wet bar, followed by plenty of closets for added storage and entrance to the primary bedroom. With a little love and renovation, this will be your dream solace. Featuring enough space for a king-size bed, there's extra space for a dressing area, office, or sitting space with the built in closets. Overlook your tranquil backyard and enjoy the peace and quiet! Ready to make Capitol Hill, and more specifically the sought-after South Carolina Ave, your home? Don't miss this opportunity for a home with great bones ready for personalization!
