Sustainable in Hillcrest
The interior of this four-bedroom home has many things to focus on from the bungalow-like living room to the renovated kitchen that is punctuated by an attractive island. However, outside the house there are a variety of cool features from the landscaped gardens to the fire pit to the home’s two-car parking. Solar panels, rain cisterns and compost bins also make the listing one of the most energy-efficient and sustainable in east of the Anacostia River.
