About this home

This is a charming and perfectly located Capitol Hill rowhome with a bucolic backyard. Built in 1900 this home retains many of its original architectural details, including: original heart-of-pine floors, exposed brick walls, french-doors opening onto juliet-balconies and two fireplaces. The house features two bedrooms on the top-floor, an office looking into the backyard off the kitchen, a dining room, living room with fireplace and an above-grade, lower-level tv room/den with another fireplace, beautiful brick floors and a half bath with washer/dryer. Everything Capitol Hill has to offer is a short distance away from this special house. The new SE Whole Foods is 5 blocks away, Eastern Market and its metro station is 4 blocks away, and Nationals Ballpark is only 8 blocks away. This is an especially charming house, in a uniquely convenient Capitol Hill location.
