CUTEST 3-LEVEL HOME WITH PRIVATE OUTDOOR SPACE + THOUGHTFUL UPDATES THROUGHOUT! Completely reimagined from top to bottom, this 3-story residence blends modern upgrades with effortless, comfortable living. A beautifully remodeled kitchen anchors the main level, complemented by a custom built-in coffee & beverage bar and a welcoming family room with fireplace. From the kitchen, step out into your own private outdoor retreat, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Upstairs, a smart layout offers three bedrooms and a full bath, while the lower level provides flexible living space with a family room, custom built-ins, a full bathroom, washer/dryer, and a utility room with additional storage. There's an undeniable good energy here-meticulously maintained and thoughtfully improved over time by the owner. Major system and capital improvements have been thoughtfully completed over the years, including a new roof (2026), HVAC replacement with an added upstairs return for improved airflow (2025), and a new hot water heater (2024). The kitchen was fully remodeled (2022), with custom built-ins added in the basement the same year (2022). Additional upgrades include a skylight installation (2018), new front stairs, porch, and a thoughtfully designed trash alcove with stucco patio walls (2014), and noise-dampening front windows (2007). The lead service line was replaced through the DC program (2006), with no lead pipes remaining in the home. A sewer clean-out was added to the front garden, and a stone retaining wall was installed (2010), rounding out a long list of meaningful, well-executed improvements. Local favorites nearby include Ulivo for cozy Italian dinners, Thip Khao for some of the city's best Lao cuisine, and Taqueria Habanero for neighborhood-favorite tacos and margaritas. The Columbia Heights Metro (green/yellow) is about a 7-10 minute stroll. This home is just moments to some of DC's best restaurants, bars, and shopping along the vibrant 11th Street and U Street corridors, with endless options for dining, coffee, and nightlife right outside your door. A SMART condo alternative! This one won't last...
