For the 40 years of Capitol Hill experience, Hill properties & homes achieve equity quickly. Most of the deficiencies in this property can be corrected by a nominal craftsman exchanging the treadmill of DC with rewarding attention. The future on Capitol Hill will be bright and as before enhanced with equity building. Comparability of this home to others of higher value will match on square footage but location is alway a major consideration. (This location is quite fab!) The major systems are updated. The hot water radiator heat provides the best heat available ( softer on the skin than hot air.) The Lincoln Park location is exemplary; Close to markets, menus, metros, museums, mausoleums, monuments, and walkable to the Mall. The Park offers a place to lay your picnic blanket, a place to make a snow sculpture, a treat for your pet, a running space for your exercise & a playground for children or adults. Transportation options are many: Major arteries South, North East or West are near. This home will be an investment in your future & your family. Impressive PUBLIC Schools nearby and several grocers closer, plus PRIVATE schools exist both near & far (check DC schools.) Pubs & restaurants are a healthy walk, but not too close. In preparation, please have your financing in place, before viewing or submitting an offer. The potential for future happiness is within your grasp, text your agent or me to make an appointment, to ensure a showing before title in transferred to a new buyer, private or investor.
