Classic Capitol Hill charm in an exceptional location. This 1,664-square-foot home offers generous living space, wonderful curb appeal, a sizable lot, private outdoor space, and the rare convenience of two off-street parking spaces. The home is comfortable and functional as it stands, while offering plenty of potential for cosmetic updates and personalization to bring out its full character. With its attractive streetscape, generous footprint, outdoor space, and parking, the property has the fundamentals that are increasingly difficult to find on the Hill. Ideally situated near Eastern Market, Lincoln Park, Metro, neighborhood restaurants, shops, and everything Capitol Hill has to offer. Currently tenant-occupied.
