    What's special

    NEW, REDUCED PRICE!! This 3 bedroom, 1 1/4 bath, end unit brick town home has lots of windows and a free-standing brick garage out back (fully brick garage was built with the house, is presently not in use, and ready to be brought back to use). The original hardwood floors in the living and dining rooms are in good condition (a small area of dining hardwoods needs a little love). Original hardwoods on the stairway, in upper hallway and in the master bedroom. The galley kitchen needs updating. The spacious, unfinished walkout basement with 1/4 bath is perfect for an easy family room renovation. Nice green spaces in front and back yards. With fresh, cosmetic touches, there is great potential in this house. The top level has 3 bedrooms, and 1 full Bath. 2nd bedroom needs minor ceiling tile work replacement. This is a great starter home waiting for the right family, and it's a good investment with good bones. Quiet neighborhood, conveniently located off Pennsylvania Ave - 10 minutes to 295, Capitol Hill, Eastern Market, Union Station or downtown DC. A few blocks from Southern Avenue over to Forestville Mall and the Beltway via Pennsylvania Avenue (15- 20 minutes ). Great value for the money, and STRICTLY "AS IS". 24-hour Notice for all showings. Times: 1pm - 7pm Daily.
