Description

Welcome to 231 Nicholson St NE, a beautifully updated 2BR/1BA semi-detached home blending mid-century character with modern updates — all in one of DC's most convenient locations. Both bedrooms and the full bath are located upstairs, while hardwood floors run throughout the main and upper levels.

The kitchen has just been refreshed with white cabinetry, white quartz countertops, modern appliances, and new flooring — a clean, contemporary space ready for its next owner. The full bath has also been tastefully updated, honoring the home's original character while adding modern comfort. Updated lighting throughout adds a fresh, polished feel to every room.

Central heat and
air keep the home comfortable year-round, and the fully finished basement offers flexible living space with a walkout rear entrance — perfect for a rec room, home office, or guest space.

Outside, enjoy a fenced rear yard and garden designed in partnership with DC's RiverSmart Program, plus a large garden shed for extra storage and gated off-street parking — a rare find in the city.

Location is unbeatable: steps to everything Fort Totten has to offer, including Walmart and other big box retailers just up the road, and the Fort Totten Red Line Metro for an easy commute. You're also just moments from beloved Petworth spots like Jackie Lee's, La Coop Coffee, and Brightwood Pizza & Bottle.

A rare combination of character, updates, outdoor space, and unbeatable location — come see for yourself today!
