About the Listing COMPS1 - 3032070

Welcome to 5541 South Dakota Ave NE—a modern brick townhome in the heart of Riggs Park, a quiet, community-oriented neighborhood known for its residential feel, tree-lined streets, and easy access to transit and everyday essentials. Built in 2021, this 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers 1,204 square feet across three efficiently designed levels, blending contemporary style with practical urban living. The entry level is thoughtfully configured as a flexible library or workspace, ideal for working from home or creating a quiet reading or creative zone separate from the main living areas. The second level serves as the heart of the home, featuring an open living and kitchen area with engineered hardwood floors, high ceilings, and abundant natural light. The modern kitchen includes stainless steel ENERGY STAR appliances, upgraded countertops, and clean-lined cabinetry, with direct access to a private balcony—perfect for morning coffee or evening downtime. A stylish half bath completes this level. The third level is dedicated to rest and functionality, with two bedrooms positioned at opposite ends of the floor for added privacy. A full bathroom sits between them, along with two linen closets and a conveniently located washer and dryer. Additional features include a rear-entry attached parking garage, plus two guest parking passes, offering flexibility rarely found in townhome living. Energy-efficient windows and doors further enhance comfort and efficiency. Riggs Park is often described as one of D.C.’s quieter residential pockets—appealing to those who value a neighborhood atmosphere while staying well connected. The home is moments from the Fort Totten Metro (Red, Yellow, and Green lines), as well as Walmart, the DC Public Library, and One Life Fitness. Nearby retail and dining options continue to expand at The Shops at Dakota Crossing, with additional cultural and commercial offerings planned at the upcoming Art Place. This home offers a smart layout, modern construction, and a location that balances calm residential living with excellent city access.
