The Most Sought-After Amenity in LeDroit Park

The amenities at the top of home buyers’ list in the District have not changed much in recent years, and a legal rental unit still remains a priority. This LeDroit Park Federal-style home comes with a legal one-bed, one-bath basement rental, a nice option to help with the monthly mortgage. The floorplan is typical of an older home, and the house features heart pine floors and a backyard patio and balcony. But the upstairs bedrooms really make the house — especially the large master suite with built-in seating in the bay window. The master leads to a private en-suite bathroom with double-vanity sink and a walk-in closet with tons of built-in storage and drawers.

• Full Listing: 1850 3rd Street NW (map)
• Price: $1,249,900
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: 3.5
• Year Built: 1907
• Square Footage: 2,895
