Property Description
At the rear of the home, sliding glass doors open to a private, fully fenced outdoor retreat featuring a two-tiered deck and flagstone patio. Whether hosting guests, dining al fresco, or enjoying a quiet evening outdoors, this space serves as a true extension of the home. Recent improvements include a newly refinished and painted rear deck and the addition of off-street parking secured by a new electric freestanding garage door, creating a rare and highly valuable convenience on Capitol Hill. The second level is anchored by a spacious primary suite featuring a renovated en-suite bath and a custom closet system backed by a manufacturer warranty. Two additional bedrooms, a full hall bath, and conveniently located laundry complete this level. Additional updates include freshly painted walls and trim throughout the second and third floors and new carpeting in two bedrooms.
A rare and compelling feature in today's market, the fully finished lower-level apartment is separately metered and offers exceptional flexibility and long-term value. Featuring its own front and rear entrances, open living and dining areas, a large kitchen, one bedroom, a full bath, laundry, and a dedicated HVAC system, the apartment functions as an independent living space. Recent improvements include new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout and a beautifully updated bathroom featuring a new walk-in shower and tile finishes. Whether used as an income-producing rental, private guest suite, in-law apartment, au pair space, or dedicated work-from-home retreat, the lower level provides exceptional flexibility while creating the opportunity to offset monthly ownership costs.
Perfectly positioned in the heart of Capitol Hill, the home offers immediate access to Lincoln Park, Stanton Park, Lovejoy Park, Eastern Market, Union Station, the U.S. Capitol, the Supreme Court, and the restaurants, cafés, nightlife, and everyday conveniences of the H Street Corridor.
