It's the best of both worlds! This 2 bedroom/1 bath end of group row home sits on a quiet street but it's also close to everything. Just a couple of blocks from the Congress St. Metro station, and a few more blocks to grocery stores, shopping and dining. Easy access to 295 and Suitland Pkwy make for an easy work commute or trips Downtown and just a quick 15 minute ride to National Airport. This home features a front porch for sitting on those breezy summer evenings and a huge back yard for relaxing and entertaining. Admittedly this home needs work to make it shine again but the effort will be well worth it!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
