3233 ELLICOTT STREET NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20008

Quiet Quad Living, No Yard NeededImagine stepping out your front door on a Saturday morning with zero debate about lawn-mowing, leaf-blowing, or sprinkler timers. Here, a petite lot and community-maintained greenspace mean weekend chores don’t chase you—so D.C.’s museums, markets, and Rock Creek Park trails finally can. The beauty of “no backyard” isn’t a missing amenity; it’s a gift of free time and lower costs. The HOA covers landscaping, abd snow removal, turning this detached Georgian into the city’s easiest lock-and-leave home.Inside, more than $200,000 in 2025 upgrades make every square foot shine. Refinished hardwoods gleam beneath daylight from 24 triple-pane windows (lifetime warranty). The reinvented kitchen rivals bespoke new construction: waterfall quartz, deep pantry pull-outs, double wall ovens, and a peninsula that encourages lingering conversation straight onto a covered deck wrapped in tall bamboo for privacy.The main level’s fireplace-anchored living room invites game-night coziness, while the formal dining room balances classic trim with modern ease. A flex library or home office hides built-ins and a sleek wet bar, ideal for an after-Zoom espresso or an evening Old Fashioned.Upstairs, the primary suite claims an entire wing: spa-inspired bath (frameless marble shower with bench, 2025), generous closets, and treetop views. Secondary bedrooms share updated fixtures and whisper-quiet ceiling fans (2023). Downstairs, a walk-out rec room with second fireplace meets every need—media lounge, gym, guest area—alongside a rebuilt laundry center (new washer/dryer, 2025) and direct access to an oversized two-car garage with insulated belt-drive doors (2025). A shaded brick patio waits just outside—ideal for grilling or a morning stretch.Behind the scenes, new insulation (2023) and a 75-gallon water heater (2025) keep utility bills tame, while upgraded FIOS makes streaming seamless. Even the toilets were replaced in 2023—proof that no detail was too small.Location seals the deal. Tucked inside a quiet, no-through-street quad in leafy Forest Hills, the home sits less than a block from Connecticut Avenue icons—Politics  a heated driveway means no scraping ice at 6 a.m.The community feels like a hidden pocket of calm. Neighbors trade seedlings at spring plant swaps, rally around an annual Halloween parade, and greet each other on evening dog-walk loops. Join in or simply enjoy the friendly backdrop from your front steps.Put simply, this residence reframes city living: classic architecture, uncompromising upgrades, zero-yard headache, and instant access to everything that makes upper-northwest D.C. beloved by insiders. Walk in, spread out, and let the next chapter write itself—without a lawn mower in sight. Outside that rec room door, a secure brick patio catches afternoon shade—perfect for a container herb garden or a quiet read with your favorite Politics & Prose find—while the secure gate keeps four-legged companions safe. Welcome home.
