About 1163 Abbey Pl Ne
***OPEN HOUSE Thursday September 10th from 6 to 8p*** Classic character sets 1163 Abbey Pl NE apart on a lush, tree-lined block. Stylish and light-filled, this home features a beautiful backyard deck, three full levels of living space, dedicated parking… and is walkable to everything the bustling NoMa neighborhood has to offer.
Inside, original trim continues from the living area into the dining area where the renovated kitchen is open to the dining space. A sunroom at the back of the home opens directly onto the deck, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living. Two similarly sized bedrooms and a full bath occupy the upper level. Each features custom closets with tons of storage while the bathroom has been tastefully updated. The lower level adds real, usable, private bonus space — a kitchenette and full bath complement a large extra room. The walk-out door on the lower level opens up possible use cases from home office to rental to a lovely in-law suite. Dedicated parking rounds out the package, a rare find in this part of the city.
The rear deck deserves its own mention. Oversized, private, and accessed straight from the sunroom, it's built for entertaining — plenty of room for a table, a grill, and a crowd — all without the upkeep of a traditional yard. Skip the mowing and the maintenance; this is a private outdoor retreat that's ready to host from day one.
The home has been well maintained and recent updates include: New roof (2024), New hot water heater (2025), Newer HVAC (2020), New refrigerator (2026), Newer washer and dryer.
A day spent living here might start at one of the many fitness boutiques like Toolbox Pilates or F45 training. From there imagine coffee at the new Lost Sock location right around the corner or a quick trip to the grocery (both Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods are nearby). Whether working from home or commuting, getting the day started is a breeze because of the layout of the home and proximity to NoMa-Gallaudet Metro on the Red Line. After work, catch a class at REI to hone your outdoor skills or meet up with friends at one of Union Market’s many fantastic bars and restaurants - maybe Happy Hour at El Presidente - and then join for Wednesday night Bingo on the Hi-Lawn over Union Market. There’s so much going on in this vibrant neighborhood, every day offers new possibilities.
For commuters, this home is two blocks from the Metro (Red Line) and one stop from Union Station with its Amtrak, MARC, VRE, and Metro connections. New York Avenue NE offers quick access to I-395 and I-295 for drivers heading elsewhere in the region. The MBT dedicated bike trail shoots straight to Union Station and other bike arteries throughout the city.
