This is a covid friendly space with lots of outdoor space. Free utilities as a pandemic nicety.
If you're a gardener or love sun, even better because you will have a whole backyard to play in. The yard is shared space with the upstairs tenants. Address is officially Columbia Heights, but neighborhood is Park View, which is a very short walk to the Petworth Metro Station.
Park View is located between Columbia Heights and Petworth. The apartment is on Otis Place and is very close to the restaurants and bars on Georgia Ave: DC Reynolds, Reliable Tavern, Looking Glass, The Midlands Beer Garden, etc., with several more in the works.
It is an approx 7 minute walk to the Petworth Metro Station, 2 minute walk to multiple bus lines, 10 minute walk to restaurants on 11th street, and 20 minute walk to the Target etc. in Columbia Heights or 5 minutes by bike there. Easy bus ride or walk to the Washington Hospital Center and National Rehab Hospital or VA Hospital. Bike lanes on both nearby thoroughfares. Less than a mile to a Giant Supermarket, Yes Organic Market, and a new fancy Safeway on Georgia Ave. The east end of the street is the Old Soldiers' Home campus, a beautiful green backdrop for walks and runs around the park-like perimeter. There is lots of great Yoga and crossfit gyms nearby.
The apartment has a brand new forced air furnace and filter system and new central AC system. There are plenty of vents throughout the unit for your comfort. There are lots of windows and doors to let in sunlight and fresh air. Dark red roman canvas shades are on the doors and windows which are not pictured in the photos. There is one on the front window and each of the two doors.
The unit has two front doors and a back door. The front door leads to a wonderful mudroom/laundry room. You can use this room for your coat rack or shoes, umbrellas, etc. The house features a full sized washer and full sized dryer which is shared with upstairs tenants. The second door goes to your apartment. And the back door leads to a good sized yard with pea gravel patio, chimenea, grill and wrought iron furniture for your use. There is space for gardening in the back if you choose and tons of sunlight.
The Kitchen features a beautiful high end silestone counter. Plenty of room to cook, do your work or even enjoy dinner with a friend with the two included stools. Plenty of storage space in beautiful solid maple cabinets. An electric stove/oven, microwave and refrigerator/freezer. All fumes/smoke from cooking are vented outside the unit.
The modern bathroom features a classic black and white tiled design with a very large glass shower with subway tile. Pedestal sink, fan vent to the outside, window, plenty of light and storage space.
The main room features plenty of space for your bed and sofa, and other furniture. There are two cable outlets and plenty of electrical plugs. There are lots of ceiling lights all on dimmers and a large closet with organization system inside. The beam running along the house is a tad lower than the ceiling, if you're tall you probably won't be comfy here. I'd estimate that someone over 5'9" may not be comfortable here because of this beam. The space is ideal for a single person. Cats are ok, but no dogs. No smoking.
Easy on-street parking. It is DC Zone 1A parking. The neighborhood is a great mixture of longtime residents and new young families. It is a quiet yet very friendly street.
Owners are a married couple who live in Takoma Park, MD. We are super responsive to any and all of your needs. Upstairs units is a two story 3 bedroom occupied by three quiet grad students.
