Every block has a house people slow down to look at, and this Anacostia fixer upper is the one on its stretch of MLK Ave. Now it needs an owner to decide what it becomes next.
From the sidewalk you'll notice the decorative cornice, the arched window trim, and the covered front porch on iron columns behind a wrought iron fence. That kind of detail can't be added later. The home is semi-detached, so it's attached on one side only.
Inside, original hardwood runs down a long front hall to the wood staircase, turned newel post and all. The living room, dining room, and den connect through wide cased doorways, so the first floor already has a layout to build around. There are three bedrooms and 1.5 baths, and the kitchen at the back opens onto a covered porch and a fenced yard.
Past the yard, a gate off the rear alley leads to parking for two cars. In this part of DC, that alone is worth the trip. The house needs a full renovation and is being sold as-is, so every finish is your call.
