The light is the first thing you notice. French doors open to a Juliet balcony, and on a clear afternoon this one-bedroom does not need a lamp until dinner. Inside, hardwood floors run throughout a layout that uses every inch well. The kitchen opens into the living space around an oversized quartz peninsula with pendant lighting, stainless appliances, and enough real prep space to actually cook. There is a full-size washer and dryer, a true walk-in closet that connects directly to the en-suite bath, and the bonus buyers almost never get at this price point: a second half bath for visitors. Renovated in 2019 and set inside a boutique eight-unit building, this is the kind of one-bedroom that feels much easier to live in than the square footage might suggest. Then there is the part you cannot add later: a deeded private parking space. Not a permit. Not a waitlist. It conveys with the unit. Anyone who has circled these blocks at 9 p.m. knows exactly what that is worth. H Street is a short walk for dinner at Daru, Maketto, Pie Shop, or one of the hundred other reasons people keep moving this direction. Aldi, Harris Teeter, and Whole Foods are all within reach, Metrobus runs the corridor, Stadium-Armory Metro is walkable, and Lincoln Park and Eastern Market are close. Less than a mile away, the RFK Campus is being rebuilt around the $3.8 billion Commanders stadium deal, with new housing, parks, and retail planned across 174 acres. The building is pet-friendly with secure entry, and water, sewer, and trash are included. It is VA approved, and the most recent sale in the building closed with FHA spot approval, so that path may be available again with lender verification. This is a good unit in a good building, with private parking, in a pocket of DC that is about to get a lot more attention.
