20 Chesapeake St SE

A low-rise cooperative complex of four stories constructed in 1953, the property offers one-bedroom condo units arranged in a mid-century garden-style block. Exterior finishes are traditional masonry with modest common corridors and ground-level entries; some units are end-units with extra window exposure. Interiors reflect a mix of original and updated elements: open and conventional floor plans, galley kitchens or kitchen-with-dining alcoves, combination living/dining spaces, carpeted floors, upgraded countertops in select units, and typical window treatments. Shared building features emphasize basic convenience rather than luxury — on-site management and a secured entry, board governance with purchaser approval, and a cooperative fee that covers building taxes and all utilities. The community enforces owner-occupancy and a minimum ownership period before resale; pets are generally restricted and investor purchases are prohibited. Parking and street access are adequate for neighborhood needs, with public transit connections within walking distance and direct access to I-295 and I-495. Located in Washington, DC, the property sits near everyday shopping and community amenities, offering practical, affordable housing within reach of downtown destinations and regional transportation corridors.
