About This Home
As of November 20243217 13th Street is among the stately grand homes that you find on 13th Street and is perfectly positioned between the 11th Street Hip Strip corridor, Park View, U Street/Cardozo, and Columbia Heights (and within 3 metros in less than a mile with the closest 4 blocks away).
This 4 level historic rowhome is like new construction in that it has been completely renovated in the last 5 years and has 2 legal units with corresponding certificates of occupancies. Walk up the front walkway through the historic iron gate to a large front yard that sits up a few steps off 13th Street. Walk past the mature flowering trees and landscaping up the wide stoop into the covered foyer where you can access both Unit 2 and Unit 1.
Unit 2 lives like a 3 level rowhome over almost 3,000 sq ft with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. This home has all the bells and whistles with wide oak flooring, recessed lighting and sophisticated ceiling fans on Lutron smart dimming lights in all bedrooms (works with Alexa, Google, Siri), nest thermostat, ring cameras, tankless water heater, new HVAC with 4 zone electric dampers, exposed brick walls on 2 levels, a fireplace, a wet bar in the living room, a laundry room (yes room - not your standard stackable units in a closet) on the bedroom level, and walk in closets in 2 of the 3 bedrooms. All 3 bedrooms are large enough for king beds plus another zone for seating or a desk. The outdoor space here is abundant. The large front yard has 2 seating zones (plus garden space), and the rear has a covered porch and trek deck. In addition, there is space for 3 cars that is secured with a private electric gate, and it is equipped with an EV plug for your or your guests electric vehicles.
Unit 1 is a 2 levels with over 1,200 sq ft that starts on the main level with a kitchen, dining room, walk-in coat closet, and living room. Stairs to the lower level take you to the bedroom level which is above ground with a walkout english basement. It currently houses 2 bedrooms (both with walk-in closets), 1 bathroom, and laundry. This level is spacious and could easily accommodate a 3rd bedroom to maximize rental income. Years of documented rental income at $2,500 a month with the potential for more since the kitchen has been remodeled in this unit (along with the exterior). If a third bedroom was put in, rental income would go up to $3,500. Or live in Unit 1 and rent out Unit 2 for over $5,000. Want to double your income on either unit, Airbnb or consider other short term rental options. If you wanted to Convert Unit 1 to a studio on the main level and then separate the english basement to a 2 bedroom/1 bathroom unit, you could for a low cost converting the home into 3 units. Options are plentiful.
The seller thoughtfully renovated this home with upgrades you simply do not see developers execute. 3217 13th offers so many options and possibilities.
