Perfect for a single person or couple Bonus Room: Includes an additional sunroom/art room in the back lined with large windows that receive direct sunlight through the winter, which can be used as a guest room, a study, or an art studio. Outdoor Space: The back door of the apartment leads directly onto a full deck with tables and chairs, and which overlooks a shared backyard with a fire pit and an outdoor kitchen. Furnishings & Comforts: Fully furnished with a king-sized bed, 2 Smart TVs, Alexa smart features, and a fully stocked kitchen with a gas stove. Laundry & Tech: Free Wi-Fi included. Washer and dryer are located right outside the unit, shared with only one other neighbor. Location & Transportation Conveniently located near 17th St & D St NE on a quiet street and close to key D.C. landmarks and transit: 1.5 miles to the U.S. Capitol and Union Station. Walkability: Easy walking distance to the H Street Corridor and Eastern Market. Metro: 0.5 miles to the Stadium-Armory Metro station. Bus & Bike: The D24 bus line is just around the corner (providing direct routes to the U.S. Capitol, the National Mall, and Downtown D.C.). Capitol Bikeshare station is 2 blocks away, with scooters, Ubers, and Lyfts available within minutes. Cat Care Arrangement Meet Seua: In exchange for a monthly discount, you will feed and water my cat, Seua. She's low-maintenance and uses her own "doggie door" to go outside on her own—meaning no litter box to clean! She just needs daily food, fresh water, and a mindful, cat-friendly housemate. I will purchase and have all of her food delivered directly to the apartment, so there is no cost to you. Utilities Included: Water, gas, trash collection, and Wi-Fi are all included. Tenant pays electric only. Personal Statement: I'm a retiring philosophy professor from St. Mary's College of Maryland and will be moving away for at least 12 months. The bulk of my personal belongings will be removed, but all the furnishings will remain--including a fully stocked kitchen, king sized bed and linens, 2 smart TV's, furniture, and, of course, my cat, Seua, who came in from the alley one day and decided to adopt me. The washer and dryer is just outside the back apartment door leading onto the deck, and a close friend who lives just around the corner will be managing the building for me. Interested?
