829 Hilltop Terrace

Washington, DC 20019

Summertime in the city! Looking for a new space to comfortably host your friends and family? Look no further than 829 Hilltop! Welcome to Fort Dupont Park, a neighborhood that sits within the city limits of Washington, D.C. on one of its largest federally protected parks in the city at over 376 wooded acres. A park that once was an actual Fort, protecting our young nation’s capitol from confederate advances during the Civil War and now is an important piece in the regional ecological system, protecting and preserving the Anacostia River Watershed to ensure the future health of one of the most important bodies of water in our region. 829 Hilltop Terrace Southeast is all about opportunity and flexible space. This Cape Cod-style home features four generous bedrooms plus a den and three full bathrooms situated on three levels with over 2000 square feet of living space. The beautiful southern exposure offers serene and elevated views of the backyard and neighborhood that will make you forget you are in the most powerful city in the world. The lower level of the home is a great place to hang out and has the potential to be an income-producing space because of the separate entrance, full bathroom, and a spacious wet bar with a wine fridge. It wouldn’t take much to convert this into a short-term or long-term rental, allowing the new owner to house-hack and offset their mortgage payments. The basement is one of the multiple spaces in the home that are perfect for entertaining and creating memories with friends and family. The main level of the home features multiple, oversized, double-pane picture windows in every room and beautiful hardwood floors that are in impeccable shape, original to when the home was built in 1953. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace with a new liner, efficient lines of sight, and flows through to the eat-in kitchen with full-size dining room table space and the family room/ sunroom with skylights and backyard access. The kitchen is a chef and entertainer’s dream with natural stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, 42-inch custom cabinetry, and subway tile backsplash for easy cleanup, along with matching stainless steel and modern fixtures and hardware. The sunroom opens up to the backyard, oversized driveway with parking for up to six cars, and the generous exterior storage shed for all of your out-of-season or yard tools, holiday decorations, or anything you don't want to keep inside. The main level also features two bedrooms and a renovated bathroom with oversized vanity and beautiful tile work in the tub/shower. The upper level of this home features the owner‘s suite and a den that can easily be used for another home office or sleeping space for Little ones. The owner's bedroom features double exposure, has the same beautiful hardwood floors, a spacious walk-in closet, and recessed lights for convenience.Single-family homes are the most desired commodity in the city right now, and the chance to own a detached, single-family home in an area that is still growing and expanding presents an outstanding opportunity to live in an appreciating asset. The ridge road community rec center, pool, Washington Nationals Youth baseball field, and ice-skating rink- yes I said that correctly, ice-skating rink- are all close by. Those are amenities you don’t usually get to list when talking about offerings for homes in the city. Benning road metro is close by and the commute back to downtown or out of town via the highway is easy as well. Do not miss out on this excellent opportunity for life in the city-burbs!
