About This Home
This updated two-bedroom row house is waiting for you to call it home! 1823 Gales is a move-in ready charmer that lives large. It’s a five-minute walk to H Street and a 15-minute walk to the coming Commanders Stadium but tucked away on a short block across the street from the Greater Mount Pisgah Baptist Church. A decorative fireplace in the living room highlights the home’s character from the moment you enter. An open floor plan with hardwood oak floors on the ground level makes for comfortable living and easy entertaining, leading to an efficiently designed kitchen with newer stainless-steel appliances, refinished cabinets, and granite countertops. Stairs newly rebuilt in 2026 against an exposed brick wall lead to the second floor and a full bath along with two generously sized bedrooms, whose original pine floors speak to the home’s history. The sunwashed bathroom has a touch of glamour and features a skylight, classic subway tiles, marble-tiled floor, and a vintage claw foot bathtub. A gem for those who place a premium on outdoor space, this house has a sweet front porch, a back patio for sipping your morning coffee, and a deep backyard with potential as a parking pad, garden oasis, or play spot for your dog. Saunter a half block to the Rosedale Recreation Center to enjoy the neighborhood library, gymnasium, outdoor pool, and more. Walk to the nature trails on Kingman Island, the bounteous food and entertainment options on H Street, and the Metro’s Blue Line for commuting. The delights of Union Market, Union Station, and the U.S. National Arboretum are just minutes away. Experience Kingman Park in a jewel box of a home that pays homage to the neighborhood’s past while being poised to capitalize on its bright future!
