This Riggs Park home with crisp lines of midcentury architecture was built with practical features -- unpainted brick exterior, covered front porch and entrance, convenient half bath on the main level, three bedrooms with good natural light, and table space in the kitchen with an exit to the backyard. Walls are freshly painted and floors of original white oak are refinished on the main and upper levels. The upstairs bathroom in original streamlined 4x4 tile adheres to the home's architecture (both bathroom pedestal sinks are new). Downstairs, step back in time to walls of thick knotty pine (carpet is new). Move in comfortably with the opportunity to personalize updates at your own pace. The backyard is a clean slate for landscaping. Pets can run leash free to join outdoor activities within the safety of the double fenced yard. Within a 10-min walk of this home find groceries, a park, gym, pharmacies, playground, restaurants, bike share, and a new library. This block of Nicholson Street sits on a Metro bus route. The short ride to the Fort Totten Metro Station Red, Green, and Yellow Lines will take you places all over the city. You may not want a car.
