Charming Historic Home in Anacostia's Evolving Neighborhood. Experience a piece of history in the vibrant Anacostia historic district with this turn-of-the-century Victorian home. Located in a neighborhood that is growing and evolving, this property offers affordability and charm within a mile of the Capitol of the United States of America. Only a short 3 block walk to the magnificent former home of Frederick Douglass (Cedar Hill). This home is a Cozy Victorian with period details. Well-maintained interior offering comfort and character. Built for today's living: gracious living presents historic style and the comforts of modern living . Light pours in from all sides on this fully detached 3 bedroom home with a kitchen for cooking and cozy dining. Incredible garden with views toward the Capitol, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Plantings and flowers from all around. Come, see and feel the warmth of this home inside and out. And bonus: walk or bike down the hill to spectacular Anacostia Park (walking, biking, skating, fishing) and maybe even continue across the Anacostia River to Nats Park and all that Navy Yard has to offer.
First, Anacostia Park. It's getting fuller by the day with folks realizing availability of bike paths, picnic areas, softball and soccer areas, roller skating, tennis courts, swimming pool and boat launching. I think they're also putting in pickle ball. It's literally about 6 blocks from my house.
Second, the 11th Street bridge is 931 feet long. So my point is go an extra 931 feet and get twice the house for the price. Walkable 931 feet to Navy Yard, Nats park, etc.
Proximity to Frederick Douglass House (a block and a half) and significant historic district architecture. Five new eateries including DCity Smokehouse Barbecue (very popular). Easy walk to the Anacostia library.
It's an Arts and Entertainment District with a Art to GoGo free shuttle navigates around from Congress Heights to Skyland. Screenshot attached.
Starting later this year the 11th Street Bridge Park will get underway linking the park to the west side of the river (think High Line but DC style and not so millennial). Chance to be part of that history. It really is going to happen.
Own a piece of the this rich history at half the price of just a short distance away!
