About 5208 13th St Nw

OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED. A must see in 16th Street Heights! Welcome to 5208 13th Street, an updated, spacious, and light-filled Craftsman-style home with a beautifully finished income-producing basement apartment. The seller has thoughtfully invested in all the right upgrades throughout the years: credits from the solar panels offset most of the energy costs of the house, the roof was replaced in 2022, deck was replaced in 2019, new gutters and down spouts in 2017, and new water heater in 2020. Located a short distance to Rock Creek Park, the H.G. Fitzgerald Tennis Center, which hosts the annual City Open, Hamilton Recreation Center, the popular Moreland’s Tavern, Zeke’s Coffee Shop, schools, public transportation, and numerous other amenities, this home offers its new home-owners the benefits of living in one of the most charming communities in DC, while also having the space to garden, entertain, host overnight guests, and offset the mortgage with rental income. Enter through the large front porch into the living room and immediately notice the attractive finishes coupled with original detail throughout. Roomy and open, the living room easily accommodates several seating areas and features a wood-burning stone fireplace with original built-ins on both sides. Adjacent is a spacious dining room with attached sunroom overlooking the deck and lovely backyard. The large kitchen has been tastefully modernized with substantial cabinet and counter space, and a side door leading to a spacious back deck ideal for entertaining. The upper level has three large bedrooms with generous-sized closets, and a hallway bathroom with yet another walk-in closet. In fact, the house has spacious closets and storage galore throughout – all organized with Elfa closet systems. The fully finished lower level offers an expansive one-bedroom apartment with a private patio and side entrance, providing a great rental income or the ability to host an au-pair or in-laws. It can be readily transformed into a wonderful family room. The laundry room on this level has plenty of additional storage and has been designed for access without intruding into the apartment. Outdoor features include a detached garage, a front porch where you can sit and enjoy the summer breeze, a back deck, and a fully fenced backyard with lush flowering trees and raised beds for gardening. Note that the lower level apartment generated $2500-3000/month when listed on Air BnB (through mid-2023.) Come see!
