A Century of Character in Hillcrest SE
The home at 1517 25th St SE stands as one of Hillcrest’s enduring single-family properties, constructed in 1923 and carrying the architectural sensibility of that period into the present. At 1,690 square feet, the floor plan distributes three bedrooms and three full baths across a layout that feels considered rather than compressed. The paved driveway provides off-street parking, a meaningful convenience in a neighborhood where street parking competes.
Hillcrest occupies elevated ground in SE Washington, one of the quadrant’s more established residential enclaves. The neighborhood’s tree-lined blocks and owner-occupied housing stock give it a settled quality that distinguishes it from more transient corridors. Access to the broader city is straightforward, with Minnesota Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue SE serving as primary connectors to downtown DC and the broader metro area.
The combination of a pre-war build date, a full three-bath configuration, and off-street parking positions this home competitively within the SE single-family market. Buyers seeking a property with genuine age and structural presence, rather than a recently subdivided or heavily renovated product, will find the bones here worth serious consideration.
