About 1458 Howard Rd SE

$20K in Grants & Seller Assistance! Seller is offering $10k in closing costs for a full priced offer! This home also qualifies for United Bank's Welcome Home Program, which provides a $10,000 grant towards downpayment and/or closing costs . If you've dreamed of living in a beautifully renovated home with high end finishes and modern design but the cash requirement was holding you back, this home is for you! The current owner spent over $100,000 reimagining this 3BR/2BA brick row home, and it shows! The exquisite, moody blue exterior makes a lasting impression on sight! The open floor plan is bright and airy with light hickory wood floors and a vibrant, top-of-the-line chefs kitchen (colorful cabinetry, 5 burner stove, floating shelves, and custom built-ins!). This is a perfect entertaining space! Upstairs, the primary bedroom is GORGEOUS and also spacious; your king-sized bed will fit nicely here! The 2nd bedroom is light-filled and roomy enough for a full or queen-sized bed. The lovely bathroom has a mid-century modern vibe and a deep soaking tub, perfect for a spa day at home! There’s an amazingly spacious and functional walk-out lower level with an office/den, incredibly stylish bathroom and 3rd bedroom (which could also work as an office or den). The fenced backyard has a small deck and twinkling lights; it feels absolutely magical after dark! This is not a developer flip; if you’ve been looking for a while, you’ll feel the difference the instant to you see it in person. So don’t wait. With the new incentives offered, a significant portion of the out-of-pocket costs will be covered and you will not find a more meticulously renovated home; the photos don’t do it justice! United Bank's program includes a minimum downpayment as low as 3%, a below market interest rate, no PMI, and a standard 30 day closing date (contact me for lender info). There is retail and restaurants within walking distance (Busboys & Poets, Grounded, Starbucks, DCity Smokehouse, Open Crumb, and more! Cultural attractions include The Smithsonian Anacostia History Museum, Cedar Hill (Frederick Douglass' former home), and the Anacostia Arts Center. Construction of the incredible 11th St Anacostia River Bridge Park is underway, which will connect Anacostia to Navy Yard, and feature a 250-seat amphitheater, an environmental education center run by the Anacostia Watershed Society, plots for urban agriculture, a dock for kayak and canoe launches, wide pedestrian walkways, floating river gardens, etc! Close to major roads (I-295/I-695), 10 minutes to Capitol Hill; steps to Anacostia Metro (0.5 miles). Now is the time to own a piece of this thriving neighborhood and build wealth while enjoying the luxury and lifestyle you’ve always wanted. Welcome home!
