The stunning open plan and kitchen renovation in this sunny 3BD/2.5BA proves that modern design can feel warm and welcoming with the right touches, and this home has them in spades: warm white oak floors, a wall of windows with French doors opening to the large composite deck, and carefully chosen design elements (herringbone backsplash, oiled bronze fixtures, crown molding) that bring warmth and life into the space. Practical touches include the kitchen’s shockingly abundant cabinet storage and a convenient powder room.

Upstairs you’ll find three bedrooms and a fresh renovated hallway bathroom. The spacious, open lower level has its own front and back entrances and currently serves as a recreation room, with space for seating, a large-screen TV, and an area for play and hobbies. In the back is a laundry area, another full bathroom, and a dedicated storage space (with plenty of room for bikes and boxes) leading to the back yard and your gated parking pad.

Urban nature lovers will enjoy the porch and patio, the manicured front lawn (where hummingbirds are known to hang out), and the quiet, one-way street lined with trees. It's an easy walk to visit wildlife on Kingman Island, to play a round of golf at Langston Golf Course, and to catch the streetcar to H Street shopping and restaurants. Also nearby: Stadium Armory Metro, the Anacostia River Trail, and RFK's playgrounds and sports fields. Come and discover this spacious modern home in one of DC's best-kept secret neighborhoods.
