422 19TH St NE

This beautiful, federal-style home, located just a few blocks from the exciting redevelopment of the RFK site, offers style, comfort, and an exceptional backyard with room to roam on one of the largest lots in the neighborhood. A distinctive exterior with a covered, front porch provides an artful welcome. Beyond the front door is a comfortable living room with an intuitive layout, featuring beautiful hardwood floors accented with a white-spindled banister under a wood handrail. Two passages from either side of this space lead past a well-appointed powder room and to a stunning, open kitchen and dining area that allows for easy gathering and dining. A windowed, rear door and windows near the dining table show the expansive backyard that includes purposeful character with options for play, entertaining, dining, and relaxing. A generously-sized storage shed is located towards the end of the lot, which also features enough parking for three cars on water-permeable pavers. Hardwoods continue to the upper level, where a primary bedroom that brings in fantastic, morning light sits towards the front of the home and two other bedrooms, separated by the full bathroom, feature views of the backyard and receive ambient natural light in the afternoon. The lower level den is currently set up as a theater room and can be easily transformed into convenient guest quarters along with an elegant, newly-installed bathroom with tasteful, modern finishes, and direct access to the backyard. This location offers easy access to the natural beauty and trails of Kingman & Heritage Islands Park along the Anacostia River and the convenience of walking distance to Metro and all the amenities of East Capitol Hill and the H Street Corridor.
