THIS IS SPECIAL…steps from The Capitol. Timeless and elegant GRAND DAME, original pine floors, and lux craftsmanship throughout — a RARE OPPORTUNITY to own a unique property in the heart of Capitol Hill, the perfect balance of historic charm and modern living: soaring 12-foot ceilings, embellished moldings throughout, an unbelievable kitchen with an extra-large pantry, multiple living spaces, two 1st floor fireplaces, and a screened-in porch to enjoy and entertain, that spills out to a dreamy backyard with lush landscaping and wraparound garden....privacy prevails - a luxury in DC.

Upstairs are 4 Bedrooms and 2 Bathrooms - a rarity for its prime location, even a charming tucked-away balcony off two bedrooms reminds one of years past.

The primary bedroom has an elegant fireplace, an oversized bay window, and plenty of room for a king-size bed. In addition, there is a stunning extra-large lower level, with more storage than one can imagine, renovated only a few years ago with so much storage plus an additional full bathroom and bedroom with its own entrance - you will be proud to host all guests or it's perfect for an au pair.

Enjoy your Capitol Hill lifestyle: Eastern Market, restaurants, Metro, Whole Foods and parks galore.
