FIRST OPEN - SAT 6/18 2-4pm. It is not everyday that a spacious, upgraded, stylish home comes available in an iconic DC location, and still presents a tremendous value. Welcome to 2518 Sayles Place SE, Unit #8, located in the sought-after Sheridan Station development, just steps from the Anacostia Metro station and surrounding retail. This beautiful development is pet-friendly with low fees. Located on a tree-lined street, this nearly 1200sf 2br/2ba home was built with quality in 2013, and has been made better than what the developers originally offered with chic upgrades throughout. Freshly painted and beautifully maintained, this home is move-in ready and sure to impress. With 2-levels, your own private entrance, the attached one-car garage with automatic garage door opener, and the in-unit washer and dryer, this home truly lives like a townhome, but with the low-maintenance lifestyle of a condo. At the entry level, you are welcomed into the home via the large entry foyer and access to the spacious garage (so no more unloading groceries in the rain). This level features the 2nd bedroom and 2nd full bathroom, so it works as a perfect space for guests, and can pull double duty as the work-from-home space many of us need. Up the grand staircase, the main level features an expansive living and dining space with 4 large West-facing windows. This space offers ample room for a large scale dining table for fun dinner parties, without sacrificing lounging space. The adjacent kitchen is large enough to offer room for a breakfast table and chairs, and features plenty of storage in the full-height wood cabinetry and real pantry. With stainless steel appliances and granite counters, the kitchen has been further improved to include an elegant glass tile backsplash. The double sliding glass doors offer even more sunlight and lead to a darling deck, perfect for your morning coffee. Rounding out this main level is the spacious primary bedroom with excellent closet space and big windows, and the remodeled primary bathroom, featuring a walk in shower with glass enclosure, designer tile work, upgraded vanity, lighting and floor tile. Other improvements to this home include upgraded rich wood flooring throughout the main level, and on the stairs and at the entry, and upgraded carpet in the guest bedroom. Superbly located in historic Anacostia, this home is a commuter's dream. In addition to being located only 2 blocks to the Anacostia Metro, you would be only minutes from major commuter routes. Zip across the new Frederick Douglass Bridge to take in a ball game at Nationals Park or dine at the Southwest Waterfront. There's also quick and easy access to Joint Base Bolling, Capitol Hill, Reagan National Airport, or to suburban MD or VA locations. Located near historic sites (Frederick Douglass's home) and city and national park lands, and future improvement and development along DC's waterfronts, there is so much to enjoy in this location.Not to be missed, this home is the smart home buyer's smart move.
