About this home
Prominently positioned on a corner in the heart of Capitol Hill, this distinguished circa-1890 red brick row house presents a rare combination of historic character, architectural significance, and exceptional versatility in one of Washington, D.C.’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Marion Park is situated across the street, while renowned restaurants, neighborhood cafés, boutique shopping, museums, sports venues, theaters, nightlife, and many of the nation’s most celebrated cultural destinations within easy reach. Numerous amenities are right at your doorstep, with the Barracks Row dining and nightlife district just two blocks away and Nationals Park, Navy Yard, and the Wharf nearby. Eastern Market Metro is a quick five-minute walk, the historic Eastern Market food and arts district is eight minutes away, and an 18-minute walk will bring you to the U.S. Capitol. This unique property is zoned for both residential and commercial, presenting a rare opportunity to create an inviting residence, establish a professional office, or seamlessly blend both within an iconic Capitol Hill setting. Recognized for its historic significance, the home received the Capitol Hill Restoration Society Award in 1972 and is recognized by the L’Enfant Preservation Trust, ensuring its original design is preserved for future generations. Encompassing 2,437 total square feet across three finished levels, the residence includes three bedrooms and two full bathrooms arranged within a flexible floor plan that includes an English basement and adapts to a variety of lifestyles and professional needs. Throughout the property, original architectural elements have been thoughtfully preserved, including the original facade, shutters, windows, doors, high ceilings, exposed brick walls, and exposed wood beams, creating warmth and character rarely found in today's homes. UPDATES INCLUDE: INTERIOR FRESHLY PAINTED + EXTERIOR TOUCH-UPS, ROOF 10-15 YEARS OLD, HEATING SYSTEM LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD, AC SYSTEM LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD. The entry level welcomes you into an inviting front living room centered around a wood-burning fireplace set in an original brick wall. Beyond, a spacious intermediate room functions equally well as a dining room or workspace. At the rear of the home, French doors open to a large gathering space that evokes the feeling of a comfortable family room or library, providing ample room for entertaining or relaxing. Multi-paned glass doors from both the central room and rear living area open to an elevated brick patio bordered by mature ivy, creating an appealing open-air extension of the home in the heart of the city. The lower-level English basement provides a kitchen with space for a breakfast table, a full bathroom with a linen closet, a generous walk-in storage room, and a separate utility closet. The upper level includes three bedrooms, highlighted by a spacious primary bedroom at the front of the home with windows on two sides, a vaulted ceiling with exposed wood beams, and original brick walls that reflect the property’s historic craftsmanship. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom with a tub-and-shower combination serve this level. Few Capitol Hill properties combine this level of architectural authenticity and mixed-use zoning in such a premier location. This exceptional property places you just minutes from the U.S. Capitol, Metro, neighborhood parks, acclaimed dining, shopping, entertainment, and the very best of Washington, D.C....
