Tucked away on a picturesque, tree-lined street in the highly sought-after Hillcrest neighborhood, this classic 3BR/3BA detached Cape Cod offers the perfect blend of tranquility, space, and access to all that’s developing east of the river. With over 2,500 square feet of finished living space and nearly a quarter-acre lot, this home is a rare gem in the District. The expansive backyard is truly a standout feature—beautifully cleared and leveled, it provides endless possibilities. Whether you're dreaming of a garden oasis, backyard basketball court, or even a future pool, there's room to bring your vision to life. The large patio is perfect for summer barbecues, outdoor entertaining, or simply enjoying your morning coffee surrounded by nature. Inside, natural light pours through every room. The main level features a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a bright sunroom ideal for a home office or playroom, a full bath, and a well-appointed kitchen with stainless steel appliances, gas range, and island seating. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a bonus space perfect for storage, hobbies, or an additional work-from-home nook. The fully finished basement offers even more flexibility with a generous recreation room, a third full bathroom, laundry area, and access to the attached garage. Recent years have brought exciting growth and revitalization to this corner of Southeast DC, including nearby retail, dining, and infrastructure investments—positioning this home not only as a beautiful retreat, but a smart long-term investment. Easy access to Capitol Hill, major commuter routes, and Metro makes this a true city-meets-suburbs experience. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own this slice of serenity in the city!
