A short walk from the Potomac Avenue Metro station, this slim, two-story Federal rowhouse sits just one step up from the walkway at the end of a deep, fenced-in front yard.

The bi-level rear yard steps up from an at-grade patio to a small grassy area with shed that can potentially be converted into a parking pad. Two bedrooms sit upstairs with the laundry and the full bath, which has a skylight and jetted tub.
