Welcome to Hilltop Hideaway, a spacious, fully private DC retreat nestled directly behind Fort Dupont Park, offering the rare combination of peaceful neighborhood living and quick access to the capital`s most iconic destinations. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a finished basement, and free street parking for multiple vehicles, Hilltop Hideaway is built for groups who want room to breathe and a genuine home base in Washington, D.C.
The Space
Hilltop Hideaway is a two-story home with a finished basement, giving your group plenty of space to spread out across multiple living areas. The fully stocked kitchen has everything you need for home cooking. The basement is a large, versatile space featuring a built-in queen bed, a futon, and a full bathroom, ideal as a private suite for additional guests or a flexible hangout space for the group. The home features central heating and air conditioning throughout, with additional portable heaters available for guests who want extra warmth. Keyless entry is provided for both the front and back of the house.
Parking & Green Space
Hilltop Hideaway sits right behind Fort Dupont Park — one of DC`s most expansive green spaces — and between two national parks, Fort Dupont Park and Fort Chaplin Park. The neighborhood is also home to the only public indoor ice rink in Washington DC. Free street parking is available for multiple vehicles directly in front of the property, plus one dedicated street parking spot reserved at the back of the house, a genuine advantage for groups arriving by car.
