Welcome to 1215 Walter Street SE-your Capitol Hill charmer with a backyard made for entertaining. Nestled on one of the Hill's most beloved blocks,this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home blends historic charm with thoughtful updates. Enter through the inviting front porch and into a bright kitchen with granite countertops and sunny window. Continue into the open living and dining area, where original wood floors, high ceilings, built-in shelving and a recently serviced wood-burning fireplace create an airy and cozy retreat. Step out back to a beautifully landscaped yard with a covered brick patio, deep lot and twinkle lights strung by neighbors-the perfect backdrop for summer dinners or peaceful evenings under the stars. Rear alley access adds potential for parking or future expansion. Upstairs, you'll find a sunlit, south-facing primary bedroom, a skylit full bath and a flexible second bedroom that works equally well as a guest room or home office. Additional highlights include a new roof and water heater, programmable thermostat, in-unit washer/dryer and ceiling fans throughout. Live in the heart of DC-just two blocks from Lincoln Park, less than a mile to the U.S. Capitol and moments from neighborhood favorites like Eastern Market, Barracks Row, the Folger Theater and multiple Metro lines (Orange, Blue, Silver). The soon-to-reopen Mott's Market sits just around the corner, with Trader Joe's and Michelin-starred dining close by. No condo fees. Dream location. Backyard bliss. Discover the magic of Walter Street.
