Introducing a quintessential Washington, DC rowhome at 4811 Illinois Ave NW, a meticulously updated residence offering the perfect blend of classic charm and modern convenience. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home stands with a commanding street presence, featuring a classic front porch and elevated stone steps.
