Nestled in Old Town's highly sought-after SE Quadrant, 723 S Royal Street offers the perfect blend of historic charm, modern comfort, and an unbeatable location. Just four blocks from the Potomac River waterfront, three blocks from scenic Jones Point Park, and a short seven-block stroll to the vibrant shops and restaurants of King Street, this beautiful Yates Gardens end-unit places you in the heart of it all. Situated on a generously sized lot and with a two-story addition, the home welcomes you with a professionally landscaped front yard and a private fenced rear yard - ideal for entertaining, relaxing, gardening, or dining al fresco. Inside you'll find a traditional yet open floor. The light-filled living room with a wood-burning fireplace creates a warm, inviting ambiance. The elegant dining room with built-in shelves and china cabinet offers the perfect setting for formal or every day dining. The renovated kitchen (2010) features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances (most updated in recent years), pantry, and a cozy breakfast nook with fireplace - perfect for morning coffee or casual dining. A powder room and large coat closet complete this level. Upstairs, you'll find 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and abundant closet space. The primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with an ensuite bath and two closets - two additional bedrooms and full bath complete this level. The finished lower level is the perfect spot for watching movies, hanging out, or working out. The separate utility room features a brand new washer and dryer, laundry sink, 1/4 bath (toilet closet) and plenty of storage space. Parking is a breeze - no parallel parking skills required - just pull right in to any of the open spots in front of the house. Don't miss this rare opportunity to live just steps from the waterfront in historic Old Town.
