Because You Deserve a Home That Has Everything. You know the classic202f;Capitol202f;Hill rowhouse you picture every time someone says ''Historic202f;DC''? The one with the graceful bay fae7;ade, wrought2011;iron steps and a pocket garden tucked behind a cast2011;iron fence? That's the one, offering 2,373202f;finished square feet of smart, up2011;to2011;date living inside.… Read More Step through the original arched entry and the entire main level greets you with freshly painted202f;walls that amplify elaborate crown molding, box wainscoting and gleaming wood floors. A bay of floor2011;to2011;ceiling windows floods the double parlor with daylight, anchored by a wood2011;burning fireplace, first of three, while custom built2011;ins 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 magazine2011;ready backdrop. Just beyond, the main level kitchen lives large thanks to updated quartz counters (2025), and a sleek new undermount sink and subway2011;tile 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 late2011;evening take-out from Barracks202f;Row. Two spacious bedroom suites command the entire upper floor. Each enjoys leafy views, deep closets and en2011;suite baths clad in marble, subway tile and penny2011;round 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 1908 - and still does today. Need flexibility? Head to the English basement. Brand2011;new 2025 luxury2011;vinyl plank flooring leads to a full second kitchen, living room with fireplace and a private bedroom/bath - ideal for guests, a remote2011;work suite or income2011;producing rental (the property has a legal Certificate of Occupancy). Large windows keep the level cheerful; a separate entrance maintains everyone's routines in perfect harmony. Beyond your front gate, a brick2011;paved block shaded by mature canopy connects you to everything that makes the Hill magnetic: weekend produce and antiques at Eastern202f;Market, chef2011;driven menus along Barracks202f;Row, morning jogs through Lincoln202f;Park and bike2011;lane 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 you'll enjoy from day one: whole2011;house interior repainting202f;(2025), quartz counters + sink202f;(2025), basement LVP floors202f;(2025), plus refreshed baths and system updates over the years. Combine three working fireplaces, soaring ceilings and a freshly pointed brick fae7;ade crowned by decorative cornice work, and you've got heritage architecture that feels unmistakably202f;2025 under the surface. Total finished space: 2,373202f;sq202f;ft across three levels, offering two true bedroom suites up, a versatile lower2011;level suite and 3.5202f;baths in all. Whether you're hosting a crowd, working from home or offsetting the mortgage with rental income, this home flexes gracefully. Smart2011;home wiring, a newer HVAC compressor, and a 2020 roof complete the peace2011;of2011;mind package, freeing your weekends for gallery openings or lazy picnics on the Capitol2011;dome lawn. It's rare for 19th2011;century artistry to meet 21st2011;century confidence so seamlessly. Experience the rhythm of Capitol202f;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.
