Commanding Capitol Hill town-home in prime location! Just steps from Stanton Park and the US Capitol complex, this updated 4 bedroom beauty includes a tastefully renovated 1 bedroom rental unit. The main level is configured with the dining room in front with a bay window, the stairway in the center and an open living room / kitchen in the rear with a powder room beneath the stairs. A large west-facing sliding door opens out to a spacious deck and rear garden. The second and third levels have a similar layout: 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom per floor. The English basement rental unit (with Certificate of Occupancy) has been renovated with ceramic faux wood flooring, an open living / dining / kitchen and spacious bedroom and makes a very desirable rental with excellent income potential (currently vacant but last rented at $2835/month). The main house (currently rented with a lease through July) is shown by appointment only. Square footage calculated off architectural plans. Buyer to confirm.
