1218 D Street SE # 4

Quietly hiding in plain sight and so discreet that even seasoned agents on broker tour didnt realize this charming 4-unit building was a condo (it is!). Call it what you want pied--terre, first DC foothold, new love shack perhaps even your M-F crash pad while youre busy trying to save the world. Roughly 560sf, punches well above its weight because nothing here is trying too hard. Original heart-of-pine floors do most of the talking, old-growth, dense, full of history the kind that cant be replicated, only appreciated, you know the type. Top floor is never by accident. The living space points you due south the kind that demands sunglasses, while the bedroom opens to a private north-facing balcony quiet, unexpected and oddly addictive. Add a wood-burning fireplace and suddenly this feels less like a condo and more like a well-kept secret. The kitchen gets it right: black granite counters, gas cooking and a new refrigerator (yes, BRAND new). A newly renovated bath thats dialed in and unapologetically good, borderline great. Theres new washer/dryer (like the new refrigerator) because civilized living matters. Then because every great place needs a moment the pice de rsistance: totally private roof deck with 360-degree views of the Washington skyline. No sharing. No sign-up sheet. No pretending its communal. Just yours. Youre about four blocks from Eastern Market, the soul of Capitol Hill for more than 150 years where food, neighbors, and weekends collide in exactly the right way and your Metro ticket to everywhere.. Then the the detail that quietly steals the show: condo fee is $150/month. Yep, thats correct. This isnt loud. It isnt flashy. Its confident, self-aware and very comfortable knowing its not for everyone, maybe just YOU. Come see it. You tell me.
