Big, Bold, and Beautiful in the Heart of Hill East
Across from a leafy triangle park, 1706 E Street SE brings the wow factor?and then some. Nearly 3,000 square feet of wide, sun-filled living space, packed with original character and smart, stylish updates. With three big bedrooms, three and a half baths, and three finished levels, this is the kind of home that?s made for spreading out, settling in, and soaking up one of the tightest-knit blocks in DC.
Step onto the welcoming front porch (swing included!) and into a warm, open main level where original 1923 heart pine floors shine, and character abounds?from crown molding and exposed brick to shiplap walls and floating shelves crafted from century-old joists. The kitchen is a chef?s dream, tucked at the rear with a window to the backyard, and anchored by a 36? gas range, built-in fridge, and sleek finishes that toe the line between rustic and refined. The open layout offers just the right amount of separation, with pantry and coat closets acting as quiet dividers between living, dining, and kitchen spaces.
Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms offer privacy and personality. The front-facing primary suite features a floating wall that conceals a custom closet, an en-suite bath, and soft, leafy light filtering through the windows. A skylight brightens the stairwell and hall desk nook, creating an inspiring spot to work, read, or daydream. Two perfectly proportioned bedrooms round out the rear of the home, bathed in soft, indirect light..
The finished basement offers even more flexibility?polished concrete floors, a large rec room, another full bath, and a combination mechanical + laundry room. This is the perfect place for movie nights, playdates, or Peloton sessions. Walk out the basement's back door, through the workshop and storage area, to find your own private backyard retreat.
Out back, you?ll find everything from a dining deck and permeable paver patio to a lush lawn and private off-street parking. There?s even additional secure, dry storage under the deck that's ideal for bikes, gear, or gardening tools.
And speaking of gardening?this home backs up to the hidden gem that is GreenSEED Community Garden. It's an idyllic 13,000-square-foot organic community garden with 80 raised planting beds, two park areas, a basketball hoop, grilling station, sandboxes, and neighborhood picnic tables. Need more green space or a place to walk your dog? The historic, story-filled grounds of Congressional Cemetery and its 35 acres sit just south of Potomac Avenue.
With Metro access (Potomac Avenue and Stadium-Armory), bike share, and nearby bus routes, public transportation is easily accessible. For eats and entertainment, local favorites like Duffy?s and Sala Thai, as well as The Roost, are mere blocks away, with Eastern Market and Barrack's Row within a mile of your doorstep. Add this to easy access to the Anacostia River Trail and anticipation of a redeveloped RFK, and what more could you want?
If you?ve been searching for that ?just right? blend of space, style, and neighborhood soul...you've found it. Welcome home.
