🏡 1927 21st Place SE – Solid Foundations in the Fairlawn Neighborhood Welcome to 1927 21st Place SE, a classic semidetached row house in Fairlawn/Anacostia that blends timeless charm with modern comfort. Originally three bedrooms, now converted to two, the upper level offers spacious bedrooms and a full bath in a traditional layout that balances functionality and relaxation. On the main level, enjoy a formal living room, separate dining room, and a bright kitchen with bar/island seating and abundant cabinet storage. A family room addition with a cozy fireplace opens directly to the backyard—perfect for morning coffee or quiet evenings at home. A convenient half bath completes this level. The basement is designed for entertainment and flexibility, featuring a recreation room, built in bar, laundry area, and half bath. Utilities are neatly tucked away, keeping the space comfortable and inviting. A rear exit leads to a covered patio with a built-in gas grill (which conveys), extending the home’s entertainment options outdoors. This property sits on an amazing corner lot, offering a fully fenced retreat with generous yard space, covered patio, and parking for at least two cars via alley access. Unlike many row houses with tight alley views, here you’ll enjoy an open, airy backdrop that feels rare and refreshing. For those with vision, a pull-down attic/4th level provides unlimited possibilities—whether for expansion, storage, or creative transformation. A new roof is scheduled for installation in the Spring of 2026, this home is solid, well maintained, and ready for its next chapter. 1927 21st Place SE is built to last, welcoming today’s lifestyle while offering a canvas for tomorrow’s dreams.
