Welcome to 423 5th Street SE – Capitol Hill Tucked along a tree-lined street just blocks from the Capitol, this delightful two-level, two bedroom, two and a half bathroom rowhome invites you into the heart of Capitol Hill living. Step inside to a gracious foyer for greeting guests, which can also be used as a library. Create amazing meals in the updated galley kitchen with new appliances. The open dining and living areas are bright and welcoming, anchored by a wall of Pella windows that offer access to the private back patio. High ceilings and classic architectural details, like large cavetto moldings, hardwood floors throughout and an ornate Victorian iron fireplace cover, with a turn-of-the-century Kensington tile surround, add timeless character. Just beyond the glass doors, an oversized backyard unfolds, offering an urban oasis thanks to an additional deeded lot. Landscaped for privacy, this peaceful retreat is perfect for gardening, entertaining, or simply soaking in the sunshine. The main level also offers a guest powder room for convenience and privacy. Upstairs, both generously sized bedrooms feature ensuite newly renovated bathrooms, providing privacy. The washer and dryer are conveniently located on the upper level for easy access. Smart storage solutions include custom cubbies, ample closets, and attic storage with pull-down stairs. Unbeatable location! Just a few blocks from Eastern Market, Barracks Row, and many of DC’s most beloved restaurants and cafes, you’ll be living in a neighborhood where everything is within reach. Spend weekends browsing local produce and artisan goods, pick up a pastry at Le Pain Quotidien, or take a stroll toward the Library of Congress and the Capitol. You're just one mile from Nationals Stadium, and minutes from both Eastern Market and Capitol South Metro stations, with Reagan National Airport also nearby. This home is located in the boundary for the highly rated Brent Elementary School, a sought-after feature for many Hill families. Capitol Hill offers a "small-village feel" with tree-lined streets, charming rowhomes, and vibrant commercial hubs. Think block parties and farmer’s markets, Saturday brunch and evening strolls past brick facades and blooming crepe myrtles—a peaceful, tight-knit community tucked inside a world-class city. This isn’t just a home. It’s a lifestyle.
