Why confine yourself to a condo, when you can have a whole home with a private back yard!? With it's quintessential "DC" front porch, three bedrooms upstairs, two full baths, extra sunroom, walk-out finished basement, and "secret garden" private backyard, this stylish and impeccably well maintained home offers far more than the list price implies. Move-in-ready, this home has been affectionately maintained by the current owners. They have installed a new water heater (2025), upgraded flooring in the basement (2021), improved the backyard with the pea gravel patio (2021), flagstone walkway (2021), landscaping and lighting (2021), installed new flooring in the sunroom (2020), and full-home painted (2026). Major systems are in great order including HVAC (2018) and windows (2018). There's something special about this home. Every room is a surprise - the dreamy blue office upstairs to the welcoming front living area. From original accents that have been preserved like the distinct archway over the stairwell and the gracious front porch, to tastefully made updates like the upstairs full bath with massive skylight, the home exudes charm. The charm doesn't stop at the home. The Carver-Langston neighborhood is located just northeast of the H Street Corridor. Tucked on a tree-lined block with similar homes, the community is close-knit with neighbors waving to each other as they come home from work or walk dogs by friends' front porches. Nearby there are world class parks including The National Arboretum just to the north and Kingman and Heritage Islands Park to the west. Within walking distance are staples like Safeway, Aldi, W.S. Jenks & Son hardware store. Just down Mount Olivet Rd is the Union Market district with top restaurants and entertainment while west on H Street gets you to Maketto, Whole Foods Market, and multiple fitness boutiques from Hot Yoga Capitol Hill to Old City CrossFit, to MADabolic and more. Looking for a true neighborhood dive bar? One of the last greats in the city is Jimmy Valentine's Lonely Hearts Club. Finally, the multi-billion dollar RFK Stadium project is just blocks to the East and promises to bring even more to the neighborhood. If you're commuting by bike, connecting to the Capitol Hill network of dedicated bike lanes makes commuting into the city easy and safe. The bus on Bladensburg Rd. is a great connection point to Union Station Metro. By car you have access to multiple options - whether you are going into the city on Maryland Ave, H Street, or Florida Ave, or out of the city by connecting easily up Bladensburg to Rte 50 and from there to BW Parkway and 495.
