Welcome to 629 Morton Place NE, Unit 1, a beautifully maintained 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence that offers the rare opportunity to enjoy the comforts of a house with the ease and convenience of condo living. Tucked away on a charming, quiet one-way street in the heart of the Atlas District, this inviting two-level home feels worlds away from the bustle of the city while placing some of Washington's most celebrated destinations just minutes from your front door.
In fact, the current owners loved the location so much that when it came time to move, they didn't leave the block—they simply bought the house next door.
Inside, the home lives far larger than a typical condo. The main level is designed for everyday comfort and effortless entertaining, featuring a spacious living area, dedicated dining space, a convenient powder room, and an open kitchen that serves as the heart of the home. Thoughtfully designed with abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, and a large peninsula perfect for gathering with friends or enjoying a casual meal, the kitchen is as functional as it is inviting. Large windows and an open layout fill the space with natural light, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout.
Downstairs, the private bedroom level offers exceptional separation between living and sleeping spaces. The spacious primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat complete with an ensuite bath and abundant natural light. Unlike many lower-level bedrooms found throughout the city, the rear primary bedroom features three full-sized windows overlooking the outdoor space, creating a bright and airy environment that feels decidedly above grade. A thoughtfully positioned second bedroom offers tremendous flexibility as a guest room, home office, nursery, or additional bedroom, while the distance between the two rooms provides a level of privacy rarely found in comparable homes. A second full bath on this level adds convenience and functionality for guests, roommates, or evolving lifestyle needs.
Outside, the home's rear outdoor space offers a unique degree of flexibility. Whether envisioned as a private courtyard for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening, or evenings around a fire pit, or utilized as a secure off-street parking space, the area can easily adapt to your lifestyle. The dedicated parking area comfortably accommodates virtually any vehicle while still providing room for bicycles, strollers, storage, or planters.
The location is simply exceptional. Nestled between Union Market, NoMa, and the H Street Corridor, the home offers unparalleled access to some of the city's best dining, shopping, and entertainment. Union Market, La Cosecha, Trader Joe's, Yellow, St. Anselm, Stellina, Whole Foods, Solid State Books, and countless neighborhood favorites are all just a short stroll away. The NoMa-Gallaudet Metro station is less than a ten-minute walk from your door, making commuting and exploring the city remarkably convenient. Yet despite being so close to it all, Morton Place remains one of those rare streets that feels quiet, residential, and removed from the energy around it.
Warm, bright, inviting, and exceptionally livable, 629 Morton Place NE, Unit 1 offers a rare combination of walkability, flexibility, and house-like comfort in one of Washington's most dynamic neighborhoods. For buyers seeking a place that feels like home from the moment they walk through the door, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
