Because You Deserve a Home That Has Everything. You know the classic Capitol Hill rowhouse you picture every time someone says Historic DC? The one with the graceful bay faade, wroughtiron steps and a pocket garden tucked behind a castiron fence? Thats the one, offering 2, 373 finished square feet of smart, uptodate living inside. Step through the original arched entry and the entire main level greets you with freshly painted walls that amplify elaborate crown molding, box wainscoting and gleaming wood floors. A bay of floortoceiling windows floods the double parlor with daylight, anchored by a woodburning fireplace, first of three, while custom builtins keep favorite books and souvenirs in easy reach. The formal dining room carries the same crisp millwork all the way to the ceiling for a magazineready backdrop. Just beyond, the main level kitchen lives large thanks to updated quartz counters (2025), and a sleek new undermount sink and subwaytile splash. Stainless appliances, generous white cabinetry and a corner window make cooking social and bright, not crowded. One quick step outside and the private deck appears, perfect for sunrise coffee or lateevening take-out from Barracks Row. Two spacious bedroom suites command the entire upper floor. Each enjoys leafy views, deep closets and ensuite baths clad in marble, subway tile and pennyround floors, updated not so long ago yet steeped in vintage character. A hallway skylight pours sunshine down the staircase, where intricate newel posts remind you this residence turned heads when it was built in 1908and still does today. Need flexibility? Head to the English basement. Brandnew 2025 luxuryvinyl plank flooring leads to a full second kitchen, living room with fireplace and a private bedroom/bathideal for guests, a remotework suite or incomeproducing rental (the property has a legal Certificate of Occupancy). Large windows keep the level cheerful; a separate entrance maintains everyones routines in perfect harmony. Beyond your front gate, a brickpaved block shaded by mature canopy connects you to everything that makes the Hill magnetic: weekend produce and antiques at Eastern Market, chefdriven menus along Barracks Row, morning jogs through Lincoln Park and bikelane access straight into downtown. Metro, major highways and the riverfront lie only minutes away, yet the street settles into a coveted hush after the workday winds down. Capital improvements youll enjoy from day one: wholehouse interior repainting (2025), quartz counters + sink (2025), basement LVP floors (2025), plus refreshed baths and system updates over the years. Combine three working fireplaces, soaring ceilings and a freshly pointed brick faade crowned by decorative cornice work, and youve got heritage architecture that feels unmistakably 2025 under the surface. Total finished space: 2, 373 sq ft across three levels, offering two true bedroom suites up, a versatile lowerlevel suite and 3.5 baths in all. Whether youre hosting a crowd, working from home or offsetting the mortgage with rental income, this home flexes gracefully. Smarthome wiring, a newer HVAC compressor, and a 2020 roof complete the peaceofmind package, freeing your weekends for gallery openings or lazy picnics on the Capitoldome lawn. Its rare for 19thcentury artistry to meet 21stcentury confidence so seamlessly. Experience the rhythm of Capitol Hill living where morning coffee, fresh markets, fine dining and national landmarks weave into your everyday soundtrack, then retreat to a home that feels like a private boutique hotel the second you close the door.
