JUST LISTED - Get ready to nest! Behind the historic facade, a happy urban cottage awaits tucked in on tree-lined, one-way 15th Street SE. Indoor and outdoor rooms with a warm, inviting vibe are designed to heighten your cozy and max out your happiness quotient. The wide-open first floor plan features generous living and dining areas + a fresh kitchen with bar seating just right for entertaining, homework, or simply hanging out. Stackable laundry in handy under stair closet with extra storage. From that first cup of coffee in the morning to your last glass of relaxation in the evening, a choice of three(!) outdoor spaces beckon. Step out first to the flexible, all-weather sun porch. Grill and dine in your fully fenced rear garden just beyond. Upstairs, the rear bedroom hits high notes with a full bath and its own private deck. The king-size 2nd bedroom and 3rd bedroom/office/nursery share a sunny hall bath with tub. Two skylights brighten the whole 20' wide package. Much more flexible space, location, and value than you might expect at this price. Just a few blocks to a choice of METROs, and deliciously close to the Pretzel Bakery. Loads of other neighborhood favorites just around the corner: Pacci's, Trusty's, Hill East Burger, The Roost, Beckert's Park Safeway, Lincoln Park, and Congressional Cemetery. Eastern Market just across the park. Excellent Walk, Bike, and Transit Scores.
