Step into this darling townhome and feel the full dream of chic DC living! 1539 A Street is a gorgeous home set in a fabulous location in the District. This 2 level townhome makes the most of its space through efficient built-ins, tasteful storage space additions, and unique features like a spiral staircase! 2 spacious bedrooms sit on the upper level, both containing built-in cabinetry and storage to maximize your space and further open up the light flooded rooms. A hallway bathroom sits between the rooms just next to the upper level landing. Traveling down your spiral staircase (can you tell we are obsessed with it?), you enter into your large living room and dining room space, complete with a cozy fireplace surrounded by a beautiful mantle, another sophisticated detail to your aesthetically pleasing space. Leading us into the kitchen, you see an entire wall has been dedicated to a built-in pantry setup- wow! The galley kitchen contains stainless steel appliances and leads right out to the private back deck- perfect for hosting! Relax out back in pure privacy or sit out in your fenced-in front yard to people-watch and catch up with the neighbors! This neighborhood is perfect for that too, closely situated townhomes make for an even closer community! The home sits in the Hill East community, just off Massachusetts Avenue- your fast track to all that Washington DC has to offer! Worried that city living means giving up seeing greenery and nature? Not to worry! Places like Lincoln Park, St. Monica's park, and the Fields at RFK park are a short drive away! The Stadium/Armory Metro Station is a 7 minute walk away, great for commuters and people who love to explore DC on a whim!
