Property Description
Declare Your Independence! This One is Hotter than a Firecracker! Indeed, some homes just feel right from the start, and 520 15th Street SE is one of them. Perfectly positioned in one of Capitol Hills most convenient and connected locations, this light-filled porch-front delivers an increasingly rare combination: classic character, smart updates, private outdoor space, flexible living, and off-street parking. Set on a deep, landscaped lot, this thoughtfully restored 3-bedroom + den (WIC/Office), 2-bath home is finished on three levels and blends period charm with everyday comfort. Original heart pine floors, separate living and dining rooms, warm natural light, and carefully preserved details create a home that feels grounded, welcoming, and unmistakably Capitol Hill. The updated kitchen with newer appliances keeps daily living easy, while central air conditioning, radiator heat, double-pane replacement windows, laundry, and thoughtful system updates add modern practicality. The private landscaped garden expands the living experience beautifully, with room to relax, entertain, garden, or simply enjoy a quiet moment in the city. Off-street parking completes the package, because apparently even paradise needs a place to park the car. The location is the lifestyle. The Roost, Trustys, Safeway, Congressional Cemetery, Lincoln Park, Eastern Market, Metro, parks, markets, restaurants, and neighborhood favorites are all close by, easy, connected, and fun. Charming, turnkey, flexible, and full of Capitol Hill personality, 520 15th Street SE is an exciting opportunity in a location you'll love. SORRY, OPENS CANCELED, UNDER CONTRACT!
