VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSES THIS WEEKEND - Sunday 12-1230 and 2-3pm The Fort Circle Parks of northeast DC sit immediately to the east of Fort Totten which was one of the Union strongholds that protected DC during the Civil War. The parks are bounded on the west by South Dakota Avenue, intersected by Sargent Road to the east, Galloway Street to the north, and Gallatin Street to the south. What this park represents is one of the more impressive, open, Federally protected, and maintained green spaces in the city. As almost every spare inch of private land will be developed and have structures built on it in this city but rest assured that the Park will remain. 5054 8th street NE is just steps away from this amazing public park. The last few months of our global pandemic have made traveling to parks and outdoor spaces a bit more challenging so having this available to enjoy just down the block means even more than it did before. Amenities like Metro, grocery, retail, and food options are great and those are not far away but the proximity to the Park is what makes this home truly outstanding. This park is the perfect gathering spot for those looking to exercise, have a picnic, play with pets or just relax and meet your neighbors. The focal point of one of the most quaint residential enclaves in DC has not yet reached the same levels of density and development as our neighborhoods to the south and west. This home was completely renovated a few years ago by renowned local firm Dilan Investments and the quality of the work shines through today with the perfect marriage of thoughtful design and functionality. The home features three efficient bedrooms, two full bathrooms, custom slate floors, marble countertops, subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. The classic, coffered ceiling in the family room, accents the hardwood floors and crown moldings that are always illuminated by the three exposures and ample natural light. The majority of the homes in north Michigan Park and Riggs Park are semi-detached and that style of home means you only have a neighbor on one side, offering more light and windows than your typical DC row home. The back yard features a western exposure for beautiful sunsets to be enjoyed on the patio and parking pad, and a bonus shed for extra storage. All systems in the home are energy efficient and there are additional, thoughtful upgrades throughout, like the custom cabinetry in the lower level that makes this home move-in ready and leave little to be desired. Public transportation options are abundant with multiple bus lines and metro only minutes away, as well as easy access to Maryland and all major highways for regional commuting. Future development that is currently under construction in the neighborhood means there is still room for growth and appreciation. Own a single-family home with three levels for less than condos nearby. Do not miss out on this exceptional opportunity!
