Classic Charm. Generous Outdoor Living. An Exceptional Entry Point into One of Washington's Most Charming Neighborhoods. This is a wonderful opportunity in Smallwood, one of the area's most beloved and convenient neighborhoods. Priced at just $275,000 with a tax value of more than $316,000, this spacious four-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers traditional character, generous living space and an exceptional opportunity to get into one of Washington's most desirable neighborhoods at a fabulous price. Inside, beautiful wood floors grace the living room and formal dining room, complemented by traditional wood moldings and a charming masonry fireplace with gas logs that gives the home a warm, timeless feel. The eat-in kitchen features a pantry and convenient laundry closet, while a powder room just off the central foyer adds everyday convenience. Upstairs, the primary bedroom includes its own ensuite bath, along with three additional well-proportioned bedrooms and a guest bath with a tub/shower combination. One of the home's most appealing features is the huge 20' × 16' screened porch overlooking the beautiful backyard. It is an exceptional space for morning coffee, relaxed afternoons, outdoor dining or gathering with family and friends--and a feature that is increasingly hard to find. Vinyl siding and gas heat add practical, everyday convenience. Important behind-the-scenes improvements have already been completed. The crawl space has been professionally sealed and equipped with a dehumidifier, foundation work has been completed, and a current September 2026 structural engineer's report confirms that the home is structurally sound. The existing floor slope was not part of the structural repairs, and the sellers do not plan to undertake floor leveling. For a buyer who is comfortable with the floors as they are, this is an opportunity to enjoy a spacious, character-filled home in a premier neighborhood while making updates and improvements at a pace that works for them. Perhaps best of all, the price creates flexibility. You can move in, enjoy the home and its wonderful location, and make updates over time as your budget, taste and priorities dictate. There is no need to take on everything at once. Instead, you can gradually personalize the home and make it your own while enjoying all that Smallwood has to offer. And the location is hard to beat. You're close to downtown Washington, the hospital, aquatics center, shopping, dining and other everyday conveniences, while enjoying the established character and appeal of one of the area's nicest neighborhoods. City water and sewer and natural gas add to the home's comfort and practicality. A four-bedroom home in one of the area's best neighborhoods, a fabulous screened porch, a price that places this home significantly below its assessed value and a one-year Supreme Home Warranty from 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty create an opportunity worth exploring. For additional information about our preferred lender and the incentives you may qualify for, please ask your agent to review the agent comments for additional details. Bring your vision, enjoy the charm, make the updates that suit your style and take advantage of a phenomenal entry point into Smallwood. This could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
