649 Orleans Place NE

Tucked along a quiet, one-way stretch of Orleans Place NE, lined with beloved ginkgo trees that turn brilliant gold each fall, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Federal brick rowhouse offers 1,692 square feet of well-planned living space in one of NoMa and the H Street corridor's most walkable locations. Renovated in 2016, the main level features an open layout with hardwood floors, exposed brick in the kitchen, a large center island, granite counters, and stainless-steel appliances. A central light well and skylight bring abundant natural light into the heart of the home, creating an airy feel that sets it apart from many neighboring properties. Step out of the kitchen onto a raised wooden deck, perfect for morning coffee or a quiet evening outdoors, with a fenced yard below. Upstairs, the primary suite anchors the second floor with a bay window, vaulted ceilings, two closets, and an en-suite bath. Two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a washer and dryer complete the upper level. The home's location is the real story. Union Market and its ever-growing collection of acclaimed restaurants, shops, and gathering spaces sit just blocks away. In the other direction, H Street's dining, retail, and nightlife are an easy walk. Gallaudet University's open campus provides nearby green space, walking paths, and a welcome sense of openness rarely found in the city. With a Walk Score of 95, Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are each about a 7-minute walk away, while Union Station and Capitol Hill are less than a mile from home. The NoMa Metro is just a 9-minute walk from your door, putting downtown DC within easy reach. Connected to everything, set back from all of it. That's the beauty of Orleans Place.
