    What's special

    Leafy welcoming neighborhoodOff-street parkingFully fenced backyardBackyard hillLarge south-facing windowsUpgraded modern kitchenEnclosed vegetable garden
    Discover the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and community in this delightful 2-bedroom, 2-bath home nestled in a leafy, welcoming neighborhood. Featuring two full bathrooms, a finished basement*, upgraded modern kitchen, hardwood floors, and large south-facing windows that bathe the interior in natural sunlight all day. Rooftop solar panels ensure ultra-low electricity bills, even in summer with AC running. Grow your own pears, grapes, and blackberries in the fully fenced backyard, which also offers an enclosed vegetable garden, composter, storage shed, off-street parking, and patio that is perfect for summer cookouts. Backyard hill is great for sledding in winter and projecting outdoor movies in summer. Within a 15-minute walk there are two Metro lines at the Ft. Totten station (red and green), three grocery stores (Aldi, Giant, and Walmart), several convenience stores, a public library, a playground and recreation center, a gym, a dry cleaner, and numerous eating and drinking options, with more coming soon! For cyclists, the Metropolitan Branch Trail is less than five minutes away. The neighborhood of Riggs Park is safe, diverse and friendly; one of DC's best-kept secrets. Neighbors shovel snow for one another, exchange birthday cards, and bring each other's packages inside if they are away. House is available starting 9/20, but can be flexible for earlier or later move-in. *Note: The basement is not a legal bedroom. Minimum 12-month lease. Tenant is responsible for utilities but must agree to connect solar panels to WiFi and Pepco accounts. Tenant is responsible for exterior maintenance, including lawn care, leaf and snow removal. These services can be contracted for an additional fee. No smoking inside unit. Tenant must notify owner or property manager immediately of any maintenance issues.
