The chef-inspired kitchen has been tastefully updated with premium stainless-steel appliances (Miele and Fischer Paykel), creating a stylish and highly functional workspace. The living room’s built-in shelving provides both function and charm where you can display some of your favorite items and books. And of course, the original exposed wood beams — dating back to its 1874 construction — tell a story of the home’s history and craftsmanship, adding a “wow” factor every time you open the door.

Many grocery stores are also conveniently located within walking distance including Trader Joe’s, Yes! Organic, Whole Foods, and Safeway. Enjoy walking to Navy Yard, H Street, the National Mall, and nearby parks like Lincoln Park, or take advantage of the 4-minute walk to the Eastern Market Metro where you have the rest of the city within reach.
With its unmatched location, timeless architecture, and modern updates, this Capitol Hill gem delivers not only a place to live, but a truly elevated DC-lifestyle.
