Adorable, Cute, and ideally located, this little 1932 charmer bumps up against the Gateway Arts District and benefits from it. One-level living with front and back porches. Good off-street parking on gravel, plus a rear garage sized for a Model T but good for a tool shed, in decent shape. Enjoy two bedrooms, both with closets, and an updated bathroom in between. Basic kitchen with a stainless refrigerator and room for a table. The bathroom has a new storage cabinet, sink, and refinished tub/shower. There's a roomy laundry room with a full-sized washer/dryer and storage space in the back. New carpet and fresh paint. Gas forced-air heating. It's an ideal first home or a move-down home, perfect for downsizing without moving to a condo yet. Great location, with a short commute to Washington, D.C., the University of Maryland, and Routes 50 and 295. Good shopping options, including Fort Lincoln Costco, Lowe's, and Dick's Sporting Goods. Close grocery stores include Lidl, Aldi, Glut Food Coop, Tienda El Quetzal, and Brentwood Market. Busboys and Poets and Yes Organic Market are a short drive. Mixt Food Hall with Coffee and various Food selections is a short stroll away, and Pennyroyal Station is a longer stroll with sit-down dining. Several parks are nearby, including the Northwest Branch Trail and Bladensburg Waterfront Park. You may not be able to comfortably bring the Mother's Dining Room set here, but you will enjoy the peace of a detached home in a vibrant area with many places to visit, easy parking, and a porch to sit on, all at a great price. Not to be missed.
