Once home to one of the finest estates in Washington, Duddington Manor, and originally named Heckman Street, Duddington Place was renamed in 1960. This one block long, one-way Capitol Hill street is lined with ginkgo trees and colorful row houses, located between First and Second Streets SE and has been home to famous Washingtonians such as basketball player Elgin Baylor and several members of Congress. In 2019, The Duddington Place Block Party celebrated its 50th anniversary of the beloved all-day affair and the D.C. Council declared Duddington Place Day on that Saturday. Not only just blocks to the United States Capitol and surrounding congressional office buildings, but there are also three parks within one block of Duddington Place.
130 Duddington Pl., is a charming two bedroom, two and one half bath home with newly refinished hardwood floors throughout. The expansive living/dining room area is accented with a gas burning fireplace and floor to ceiling windows leading out to the charming, private rear patio with fish pond. A skylight atop the stairs bathes this side of the home with sunlight during the day. Similarly does the large skylight in the primary bath. Both bedrooms have attractive, contemporary ceiling fans and large closets. The rear bedroom has a wonderful balcony overlooking the rear patio. A combination of BOSCH and JENN-AIR appliances adorn the kitchen with its granite counters and unique bay-front window overlooking the street.
