All offers are due by Wednesday, 4/17, at 11 AM. Believed to be the first home constructed on the block around 1835 and lovingly restored + renovated by current owners over the last few years, this completely detached house with deep, private backyard & mature garden brings together the best of classic charm, warmth & character with modern day conveniences/amenities - all located within the village-like community of urban, historic, close-in Capitol Hill. Up the newly installed stone pavers and past the front brick patio brings you to the Ground Floor that includes Family Room, Powder Room and table-space Kitchen leading to the private, garden oasis. The Laundry Closet is discreetly placed just past the Entryway Vestibule and off the Powder Room. The Family Room boasts one of the 3 wood-burning fireplaces throughout the house (with new, stainless steel liners) as well as thoughtful built-ins for maximum storage space and efficiency. The eat-in Kitchen boasts new custom pantry + cabinetry, wainscoting, wallpaper, top-of-the-line appliances (Viking cooktop & KitchenAid dual wall oven + microwave), slate floors, fireplace, and macaubus quartzite stone countertops (a natural, premium stone that looks like marble but has the stronger granite qualities). Up the stairs to the Second Floor brings you to an elegant, light-filled Living Room with wood-burning fireplace overlooking 4th Street and a separate Dining Room/Parlor overlooking the Garden with rear access/stairs down to the brick Patio. Both rooms have ample, built-in bookshelves & cabinetry. There is a second, main front-entrance and entry vestibule hallway on this 2nd level. The top floor offers 2 good-sized Bedrooms with custom closet inserts, hallway closet storage and a meticulously renovated, luxury full Bathroom with cast iron tub and fixtures + finishes that won't disappoint. Just a few of the wonderful architectural elements in the home include the hand-hewn beams in the Ground Level ceiling, the marble mantle + decorative fireplace in the Dining Room, the wood burning fireplaces and built-ins, as well as the heart pine floors throughout the house . The expanded brick patio and landscaped garden out back provide a private, quiet oasis. In addition to the large, brick patio abutting the house with plenty of space for table, sitting area plus grill, there is a second stone patio at the rear. That is also where you will find the completely finished and improved Cottage/Studio with its own mini-split HVAC & electricity. This versatile, separate space is currently used as an Office and Gym. Walking distance to life and to all the amenities that make Capitol Hill a wonderful urban village, the house is located just off PA Ave, inbounds for Brent ES and steps to Metro, Eastern Market, several parks and the Capitol Complex.
