About this home

Live in one of the best locations in Capitol Hill! Don't miss this classic townhome, located on a quintessential Capitol Hill street nestled conveniently between Garfield and Folger Parks. The 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom home retains many carefully preserved details, such as the hardwood flooring and rare Chestnut woodworking throughout, while simultaneously embracing modern upgrades, including a newly renovated kitchen in the main house and lower-level unit. The home's main level features a large living and dining area with a wood burning fireplace along with a powder room and kitchen in the rear. The upper level includes two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and an open den space. The lower-level, above grade, separate one-bedroom and one-bath legal unit with wood burning fireplace and newly-renovated kitchen completes the property and is an excellent option for additional income. There are multiple opportunities for relaxing outdoors in either the rear upper or lower-level decks, as well as the elevated front garden area. Unbeatable location -- with short strolls to Whole Foods, Yes Organic, Harris Teeter, and Trader Joes, as well as Eastern Market, Barracks Row, Brent Elementary, and the Navy Yard. Outdoor recreational activities with tennis courts and playgrounds are steps away. Centrally situated between 2 Metro stops as well as the 295 and 395 arteries makes getting in and out of the area a breeze. With an easy commute to Amazon's new headquarters in Crystal City, this truly is an unbeatable location in the heart of historic DC! Secured parking in rear.
