About 1461 Congress Pl SE

Welcome to 1461 Congress Place SE, a charming brick end unit rowhome on an extra-large corner lot only blocks from Metro in the heart of Washington DC. Step inside and you will find gorgeous hardwood floors and a comfortable combined living and dining area. The kitchen features brand new floors, white cabinets, brand-new stainless-steel range and refrigerator, and a door to the back porch and yard. Wood stairs lead to the second floor with 2 bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level is fully finished and has an updated full bath, a great family room space, laundry, and a separate outside entrance, adding flexibility and potential for rental income. The current owners AirBnB the space and have generated as much as $1800 a month. Here you have peace of mind knowing that the HVAC system is 5 years young, the windows were replaced in 2019, brick repointing was recently completed, and a French drain was added. Outside, the fully fenced, expansive pet-ready yard offers plenty of outdoor enjoyment for gardening, barbecues, or relaxing in the sun. From here, you will love the short 7-minute walk to the Congress Heights Metro station and the convenience of having a Giant grocery store, shops, and restaurants just a block away. Welcome home!
