Property Description

Stately bay-front Victorian rowhouse with a detached garage in the heart of Capitol Hill. Beautifully blending historic character with modern updates, this elegant residence is just steps to Metro and an easy walk to the U.S. Capitol, Eastern Market, Barracks Row, Navy Yard, the National Mall, neighborhood parks, shops, restaurants, and all the conveniences of city living. A welcoming vestibule with original encaustic tile opens to a gracious foyer showcasing exquisite period craftsmanship, including decorative fretwork, rosette trim, pocket doors, heart pine floors, soaring ceilings, transoms, and skylights. The spacious living room features one of three wood-burning fireplaces with an original wood mantel, while an adjacent sitting area provides the perfect home office, library, or reading nook. The generous dining room, anchored by a second wood-burning fireplace, is ideal for entertaining. The expanded, updated kitchen offers gas cooking, abundant cabinetry, generous workspace, and a striking exposed brick accent wall. An adjoining breakfast room with custom built-ins overlooks the tranquil private courtyard. Upstairs, the primary suite features a charming bay window sitting area, fireplace, built-in shelving, walk-in closet, and a luxurious marble and granite bathroom with a large shower and exceptional storage. The second bedroom opens on a covered private deck with peaceful treetop views, while the hall bath includes a relaxing soaking tub. The unfinished lower level offers abundant storage, laundry, multiple entrances, and excellent potential for future expansion. See the architectural plans for future basement renovation ideas. Outside, enjoy a beautifully landscaped private courtyard perfect for dining, entertaining, or relaxing. Completing this exceptional Capitol Hill home is a rare, detached garage providing secure off-street parking and additional storage.
