Welcome to 502 12th Street NE, a beautifully updated Capitol Hill Victorian offering the rare combination of historic charm, modern flexibility, income-producing potential, and coveted off-street parking. Ideally situated on a picturesque tree-lined block between Lincoln Park and the vibrant H Street Corridor, this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence offers 2,178 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space in one of Washington’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Filled with natural light and timeless character, the main residence features soaring ceilings, crown molding, custom built-ins, hardwood floors, and a fireplace that create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.

Recent improvements include a newly refinished and painted rear deck and the addition of off-street parking secured by a new electric freestanding garage door, creating a rare and highly valuable convenience on Capitol Hill.
