This two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath rowhome pairs classic Capitol Hill character with a fresh, easygoing interior. Sunlight reaches across the refinished hardwood floors of the living room, where a decorative fireplace anchors the space. A separate dining area leaves room for a proper table, and the kitchen opens through French doors to the backyard—an inviting connection between everyday life indoors and time spent outside.
The private, fenced yard is a standout: a brick patio for dining, space to lounge, and mature trees that give it a sense of retreat. It is equally suited to a quiet morning with coffee or an evening with friends.
Inside, approximately 1,000 square feet are arranged across two levels. The home has been refreshed with updated appliances, lighting, bathroom finishes, and window shades. A main-level powder room and in-home washer and dryer make daily routines easier, while two upstairs bedrooms offer room to settle in and flexibility for a home office or guests.
The location makes it easy to build a day around the neighborhood. The Capitol Grounds, Eastern Market, Barracks Row, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe’s are each roughly a 10-minute walk away. Navy Yard’s restaurants, Nationals Park, and the waterfront are within walking distance, while nearby Metro stations (Capitol South, Eastern Market, Navy Yard-Ballpark) connect you to the rest of the city.
