Overview

Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined street in the heart of historic Capitol Hill, this unique Federal-style residence seamlessly blends timeless character with contemporary design. Featuring two spacious bedrooms and a thoughtfully renovated bathroom, this home offers the perfect balance of comfort and city convenience, just steps from DC’s most iconic landmarks.

The main level showcases an open-concept design with high ceilings, a crisp, neutral palette, and abundant natural light, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere ideal for modern living and entertaining. The chef-inspired kitchen has been tastefully updated with premium stainless-steel appliances (Miele and Fischer Paykel), creating a stylish and highly functional workspace. The living room’s built-in shelving provides both function and charm where you can display some of your favorite items and books. And of course, the original exposed wood beams — dating back to its 1874 construction — tell a story of the home’s history and craftsmanship, adding a “wow” factor every time you open the door.

Enjoy your private, fenced backyard — perfect for alfresco dining, morning coffee, or an evening under the stars. Additional features include a large attic and insulated crawl space, providing generous storage rarely found in homes of this size and era.

This home boasts a 98-walk score, located just a short stroll from Barracks Row, Eastern Market, and The Roost, placing you within steps of many of DC’s beloved Michelin-starred restaurants, shopping, and neighborhood favorites. Many grocery stores are also conveniently located within walking distance including Trader Joe’s, Yes! Organic, Whole Foods, and Safeway. Enjoy walking to Navy Yard, H Street, the National Mall, and nearby parks like Lincoln Park, or take advantage of the 4-minute walk to the Eastern Market Metro where you have the rest of the city within reach.

With its unmatched location, timeless architecture, and modern updates, this Capitol Hill gem delivers not only a place to live, but a truly elevated DC-lifestyle.
