Deanwood

Christine and John are impressed by the thoughtful renovations in this 3 bedroom, 2.1 bath Cape Cod home in the Deanwood neighborhood of NE Washington DC. The kitchen has style and function with plenty of counter space and cabinets. The basement features exposed brick, a bedroom and full bathroom. On the main level, two more bedrooms flank a bathroom with 1920s Art Deco tile.

With an attractive Spanish style exterior, back patio, and large yard it's hard to believe this home sits in the heart of a bustling city. Inside, the open concept design has great flow. Recessed lighting brightens the space and original hardwood floors add character. Downstairs, a renovated basement with full bath has great potential as an income property.
