728 Maryland Avenue NE

Description

Maryland Avenue NE was designated by the city's architect, Pierre L'Enfant, as one of the "Grand" radial avenues that connected his intentional orthogonal grid design of the city. Maryland Avenue NE begins at the US Capitol building and extends northeast, crossing a series of gridded streets but leaving space in the original design for ornamental park spaces. 728 Maryland NE was built in 1900 and this rarely available opportunity is classic Capitol Hill style with thoughtful updates throughout. The first thing you will notice is typical Maryland Avenue NE front yard style which is the deep yard, set-back from the street. There is also the bonus lower-level, front exterior entrance that creates the potential outstanding opportunity for rental income because of the kitchenette and full bathroom. Includes the additional rear egress. The main level features beautifully maintained hardwood floors, oversized windows for tons of natural light and, outstanding flow. There is space for formal dining as well as a breakfast bar in the kitchen that is perfect for hosting and entertaining. The kitchen has ample storage with 42 inch cabinets and a formal pantry along with stainless steel appliances and original 1900's brick accent wall! There is a convenient half bath on the main level, recessed lighting and ample storage. A small deck connects the kitchen to the fully fenced back yard/patio. There is also a separate basement entrance to the rear of the main level. The upper level features two generous bedrooms and a den that serves as the landing right at the top of the stairs. The skylight at the landing offers diffuse and warm natural light throughout the day. The primary bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and two large windows with a continuation of that original 1900 Brick accent wall for a historic touch to the modern finishes that define this home. The perfect set up for a variety of domestic configurations, roommates or anything you could imagine! The location leaves little to be desired with a "Bike Score" of 98 thanks to the recent re-design of Maryland Avenue which is pedestrian and bicycle friendly with reinforced crosswalks and bike lanes. This makes for a quick ride down to the Capitol or up to the H Street Corridor. Metro and street cars are close by and all the best amenities of H Street Corridor including dining and nightlife.
