Featured Property of the Week: 654 6th Street NE

“Standing stately on Capitol Hill, this historic beauty offers not only the perfect location but also a nod to the classic D.C. vibe along with attributes to make life easy. For starters — the lower-level, one-bedroom unit is shockingly large and comes equipped with a C of O — meaning you can rent it out. The upstairs unit features soaring ceilings, sunny reading nook, custom built-ins, hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace (just in time for fall!), and beautiful exposed brick. Both rooms upstairs are sizable, to say the least, with a WOW factor from a primary bedroom with tons of space, light and closets. The lower-level unit is self-contained with its own garden-level kitchen overlooking a park, wood-burning fireplace and efficient layout. Outdoor space in the front and back (accessible by both units) is a huge plus to enjoy the weather. This home comes with solar panels (fully paid for), so not only is your electricity cheap, but the panels will also generate additional cash flow for you as well (estimated $2k-$3k per year); along with some peace of mind since the roof and exterior paint have been redone within the last two years. Head north and you have access to everything H St has to offer, including Whole Foods, Solid State Books, Ethiopic, Cane, & Le Grenier. Go even a little farther north, and you’ll find yourself at Union Market — just a .5 mile walk! Head south to stroll around Stanton Park, Schneider’s, Bistro Cacao, & Cafe Berlin. Go a little west and you’ll find yourself at Union Station with shops and access to the metro for travel within D.C., and to Amtrak and other regional trains to take you to wherever your heart desires.”
