Walter Street is famous for its warm, neighborly atmosphere. Block parties and sidewalk happy hours are a regular occurrence and neighbors look out for each other. All newcomers are added to the Walter Street directory. Wine tasting on the 3rd Thursday of the month is a decades long tradition. Notice the lights strung between the trees above Walter street. These were put up by your neighbors. Be sure to come back tonight to see them glow. Covered front porch, upgraded kitchen with granite counters; original wood floors, gas fireplace (recently serviced), deck overlooking backyard. BRAND NEW HVAC SYSTEM JUST INSTALLED, programmable thermostat. Ceiling fans in living room and bedrooms. Skylight in bathroom and hall. Live in the center of our Nation's Capitol, less than one mile from the US Capitol building. You’re in a walker's paradise, two blocks south of Lincoln Park. Eastern Market, the only historic market in DC still operating (since 1873), is your destination for farm-fresh produce and handmade arts and crafts. Walk to Michelin starred restaurants on Barracks Row or the Folger Theater for a dose of Shakespeare. The 8 minute walk to Metro gives access to the Orange, Blue and Silver lines. National Airport is just 5.6 miles away. Bicycle everywhere. Great potential to add on, or add parking with rear access from alley. NOTE: NO CONDO FEES!
