Four Bedrooms, Garage Parking, and 2,630 Square Feet in SE Washington

The home at 2701 Branch Avenue SE occupies a prominent address in the Congress Heights area of Southeast Washington. Built in 1940, the structure carries the architectural character of its era while offering a footprint — 2,630 square feet — that accommodates a range of living arrangements with room to spare.

Four bedrooms and three and a half baths provide meaningful flexibility across the floor plan. The half bath adds everyday convenience without consuming primary bath capacity, and the full bath count supports a home of this scale comfortably.

Parking is a genuine differentiator in DC: this home includes a private garage space and a concrete driveway, offering covered and uncovered off-street options that are rarely paired at this property type in the District.

Congress Heights is a historically rooted SE DC neighborhood with direct access to Southern Avenue Metro and the broader Anacostia corridor. Branch Avenue itself is a primary arterial route connecting the neighborhood to the rest of the District and into Prince George’s County, Maryland.

Scale and Substance
The home spans 2,630 square feet on Branch Avenue SE, a footprint that is notably generous for a single-family residence within the District. Built in 1940, the structure reflects the craftsmanship and proportions of mid-century DC residential construction, offering a sense of permanence that newer builds rarely replicate.
Bedroom and Bath Count
Four bedrooms and three full baths, plus a half bath, give this home a configuration suited to a wide range of uses. The bedroom count alone places it among the more spacious single-family options available in SE DC at this price point.
Parking Advantage
A private garage space paired with a concrete driveway delivers off-street parking that is both covered and flexible. In a city where parking is routinely cited as a top buyer concern, this combination is a tangible and lasting asset.
SE DC Location
Congress Heights sits in the southern reach of SE DC, anchored by Branch Avenue and served by the Southern Avenue Metro station on the Green Line. The neighborhood connects directly to the Anacostia waterfront, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, and the broader network of SE and SW DC destinations.
