Overview
Welcome home to a beautifully updated 3 bedroom and 3 ½ bathroom Capitol Hill corner unit row house. The front yard provides nice garden space with outdoor seating. The interior of the home has a large footprint with 811 square feet on all three levels. The exterior shows off additional creative detailing and offers a unique two-story Victorian-styled porch facing West.
This home is a showpiece of ingenuity and artistry with craftsmanship at every turn. Most notably is beautiful woodworking detail in the flooring, window sills, cabinet space, and the staircase. The wood used in the stairs is carried into the window sills along the stairs and floors of the dining area, kitchen and rear living area – each laid in a slightly different pattern.
The large floor plan allows for an eat-in kitchen area, a full size dining area, sitting or office nook, and a great room on the main level. Throughout the home are endless storage areas – many of which are hidden gems of inventiveness. Upstairs, more creativity abounds with the imaginatively designed primary suite with a cleverly laid out, large bathroom. The hallway features lots of mirrored storage and the bonus washer dryer. The massive second room on the upper level serves as a bedroom with a Murphy bed and a full-size office or den.
The lower level has entrances from the front and rear of the property. It can provide the owners additional income as a rental property with 1 bedroom, 1 full bathroom, a full kitchen, and a dining room all kept cool and warm by its own HVAC system. This home has a great history and its restoration has been a labor of love. Meticulously maintained by the owners, it has been continuously updated including fully-owned 18 solar panels, newer windows and a brand-NEW HVAC system as of August 2024. The home features central air conditioning and forced air heat on all levels.
Garfield Park, Providence Park, Folger Park, and Marion Park are all within blocks, providing playgrounds, dog parks, and fitness options. Situated perfectly in Capitol Hill, you'll love the easy access to great schools, Trader Joe’s, Capitol South Metro, Library of Congress, Nationals Ball Park, Audi Field, and more. When stepping out, the options are abundant with Eastern Market, Waterfront restaurants and shopping choices just a short distance away.
