Is it too good to be true? A real 2br/2ba condo unit in a SUPERB location for the price of a 1-bedroom, that is also updated, move-in ready, pet-friendly, with low fees, and amazing closet space? You're not dreaming, but this is a dream come true. Welcome to Unit #3 at 500 Florida Avenue NW! This unit offers all this and more. With a "Walk Score" of 96 ("Walker's Paradise") and a "Transit Score" of 79 ("Excellent Transit"), it is easy to live car-free and care-free in the City. Located at the nexus of several sought-after neighborhoods (Shaw, Ledroit, Logan, U St, and Bloomingdale) in a boutique, professionally managed condo building, this light-flooded second floor unit is a perfect in-town home base that is only a few short blocks to Metro (Shaw Howard U station) and other significant DC landmarks and destinations (including the Howard Theatre, Howard University, Ledroit Park, and the 9:30 Club). Dining options abound within the surrounding blocks, including the Royal, Shaw's Tavern, Right Proper Brewing, The Red Hen, Dacha Beer Garden, and BKK Cookshop. Inside, you'll find a smartly laid out, refreshed unit with high ceilings, refinished oak floors, fresh paint, recent HVAC (install May 2018), stainless steel appliances, new light fixtures, an in-unit washer and dryer, and streaming light from 3 exposures. The primary suite features a recently updated en suite primary bathroom with a jetted tub, and an unbelievably large walk in closet. The second bedroom is also spacious, with room enough for both a bed and a perfect work-from-home space in the window nook. Other features of this home include a semi-private entrance from 5th St NW (shared with only one other unit), shared extra storage, and a common gated patio. This home offers an incredible value to homebuyers and investors alike. Not to be missed.
