4401 Ord Street NE
Washington, DC 20019

You must see 4401 Ord Street NE DC, where city living meets quaint small-town charm. To get there you must drive down Anacostia Ave, which meanders between nice homes and Kenilworth Park making its way to the Aquatic Gardens, the whole time aligned by cherry trees. The Aquatic Gardens/ Kenilworth Park website describes the area as âWhere Water and Wind Danceâ. As you make your way almost there you will say... âI didnât know an area like this existed in DCâ . Welcome to Lily Ponds, a perfect name for this drop of serenity and natural beauty. Then you are greeted by the 5 bedroom 4 bath colonial-cottage home sitting on a corner lot of almost 6,000 square feet. Once you see the house you will 1st be taken by the lot and the presence of the home, in a more than acceptable, scenic neighborhood. The house sits on the corner. The front of the house is welcoming, and the side and back yards are perfect. The large corner lots' yard will stoke your imagination. You will imagine, fire pits and bar b ques Across from the house is Kenilworth Park Recreation Center, it contains many amenities, including an outdoor pool, no more than 300 feet from the house. In Lily Ponds It is obvious that all of the neighbors treasure the neighborhood and their home. Most of the time you are forced to choose between having equity soon , or having a great neighborhood. HERE YOU CAN DO BOTH!!! The home has 2 front doors, at one time the house must of had an accessory dwelling that has been merged into the house. Through the front door you have a dining room and kitchen. Also on the first floor are 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, that could be offices or guest rooms or playrooms, or tv rooms...let you imagination run. Upstairs can be accessed through the house, or you could access the stairwell directly by entering through the other front door. Up stairs there are 3 bedrooms and two full baths ( 1 master bedroom with its own bath and 2 other bedrooms that share a bath in the hallway). Going up 1 more flight there is an attic, that spans the whole house, and could certainly serve as the 6th bedroom, or it could be an office . The basement has 2 more rooms , a partial kitchen, and another whole bath. The 2170 square feet of the house, does not include the attic or the basement. With those square footages the size of the house increases significantly. The owner has treasured this gem, and hates to have to let it go. Here are some exterior pictures, interior pictures will soon follow. The house and the yard have been worked on more since the pictures were taken.
