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.

The Property
Built in 1923, this three-bedroom, three-bath home spans 1,690 square feet in SE Washington’s Hillcrest neighborhood. The floor plan accommodates a full bath on each level, a configuration uncommon in homes of this vintage and size. A paved driveway completes the offering with reliable off-street parking.
The Neighborhood
Hillcrest is one of SE Washington’s most consistently owner-occupied neighborhoods, characterized by single-family homes on defined lots and a street grid that predates mid-century suburban development. The elevated topography of the area gives many blocks a distinct sense of place within the broader quadrant.
The Market Case
Three full baths in a 1,690-square-foot pre-war home is a notable configuration. Most homes of this era and footprint were built with one or two baths, making this property’s bath count a genuine differentiator in the SE single-family resale market at this price point.
The Opportunity
At $515,000, this home enters the market as a single-family property with a century of history, a practical parking solution, and a bath count that exceeds typical expectations for its size and age. The Hillcrest submarket rewards buyers who understand the neighborhood’s long-standing residential character.
