A Solid SE Home With Room to Make It Your Own

4820 Bass Pl SE is a semi-detached home in the Deanwood neighborhood of SE Washington, DC. Built in 1946, the home carries the structural character of mid-century DC residential construction, with a footprint of approximately 1,200 square feet across two bedrooms and two full baths.

The Deanwood area offers direct access to the Orange and Blue Line Metro stations at Benning Road and Capitol Heights, placing downtown DC well within reach. Local parks, community resources, and neighborhood retail line the surrounding corridors.

Priced at $405,000, this home presents a realistic path to DC ownership in a quadrant that continues to draw buyer interest for its accessibility and established residential fabric.

The Home
Built in 1946, this semi-detached home delivers two bedrooms and two full baths within approximately 1,200 square feet. The mid-century construction reflects the established residential character common to this part of SE Washington, offering a solid foundation for updates or move-in use.
The Neighborhood
Deanwood is one of SE and NE DC’s more established residential neighborhoods, with tree-lined blocks and a strong sense of place. The surrounding area includes community parks, local retail, and neighborhood anchors that have served the corridor for decades.
Transit Access
The Benning Road Metro station on the Blue and Orange Lines is accessible from this address, connecting residents to Capitol Hill, downtown DC, and points west. The location also provides reasonable access to major arterials including Benning Road and East Capitol Street.
The Opportunity
At $405,000, this home sits at a price point that reflects genuine DC ownership within the Beltway. For buyers seeking a two-bedroom, two-bath home with a manageable footprint and no HOA obligation, this property merits a close look.

Property Location

About 4820 Bass Pl SE

4820 Bass Pl SE is a semi-detached home built in 1946, offering two bedrooms and two full baths within approximately 1,200 square feet. The semi-detached configuration provides more separation than a typical row house while maintaining the compact, manageable footprint characteristic of mid-century DC residential construction. There is no HOA, which means no monthly fee obligations and full owner control over the property.

The home is located in Deanwood, one of the older established residential neighborhoods in the SE and NE border area of Washington, DC. The surrounding blocks are primarily residential, with community green space, local commercial corridors, and neighborhood services within the immediate area. Deanwood’s position near the DC-Maryland line also provides convenient access to Prince George’s County destinations.

Day-to-day living from this address centers on the Benning Road and East Capitol Street corridors, which offer grocery options, local dining, and essential retail. The Benning Road Metro station on the Blue and Orange Lines provides a direct connection to Capitol Hill and downtown DC without requiring a car. Nearby parks and recreational facilities add to the practical appeal of the location.
