Description:

Welcome to 1215 Walter Street SE—your Capitol Hill charmer with a backyard made for entertaining. Nestled on one of the Hill’s most beloved blocks,this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home blends historic charm with thoughtful updates. Enter through the inviting front porch and into a bright kitchen with granite countertops and sunny window. Continue into the open living and dining area, where original wood floors, high ceilings, built-in shelving and a recently serviced wood-burning fireplace create an airy and cozy retreat. Step out back to a beautifully landscaped yard with a covered brick patio, deep lot and twinkle lights strung by neighbors—the perfect backdrop for summer dinners or peaceful evenings under the stars. Rear alley access adds potential for parking or future expansion. Upstairs, you’ll find a sunlit, south-facing primary bedroom, a skylit full bath and a flexible second bedroom that works equally well as a guest room or home office. Additional highlights include a new roof and water heater, programmable thermostat, in-unit washer/dryer and ceiling fans throughout. Live in the heart of DC—just two blocks from Lincoln Park, less than a mile to the U.S. Capitol and moments from neighborhood favorites like Eastern Market, Barracks Row, the Folger Theater and multiple Metro lines (Orange, Blue, Silver). The soon-to-reopen Mott’s Market sits just around the corner, with Trader Joe’s and Michelin-starred dining close by. No condo fees. Dream location. Backyard bliss. Discover the magic of Walter Street.
