Property Description

Not just a home, but your own private sanctuary in the heart of the city!! This classic 18ft-wide Victorian, located on one of the most inviting blocks in Southeast, represents an exceptional - and rare! - opportunity to own a beautifully modernized and updated residence attached to what is UNQUESTIONABLY one of the most attractive and inviting outdoor spaces in **ALL** of Capitol Hill. Off the back of the home the fully fenced true backyard features tiered decking off the kitchen, a meandering brick pathway through a garden worthy of any magazine, mature trees, flowering plants of multiple varieties, picnic benches with wisteria-draped pergola above, and fixed cushioned seating around a private fire pit. On the inside, three bedrooms upstairs give plenty of options in terms of layout and utility, while preserved period details such as the working wood fireplace on the main living level provide an echo of pre-war charm. Updated kitchen and windows speak to comfortable living in a well-maintained home with beautiful hardwood flooring throughout, and the highly desirable separately metered English basement gives incredible flexibility for any future rental income and/or long-term guests. Or simply take the bright, inviting space and use it as a bedroom, family room, or how it's used now: as a conservatory and exercise studio. Everything that matters in the home is newer, with the entire roof just recently replaced, brand new modern HVAC system less than one year old, and newer hot water heater. Looking for parking?? The private parking space abutting the property is the best of both worlds: it doesn't eat up ANY of the DEEP, beautiful lot (itself offering plenty of room for future expansion)... but yet it's all yours! Who needs the car anyway when you have parks, playgrounds, and Metro (Eastern Market and Potomac Ave), all within walking? Grocery and drug store options are one block away... the shops and Michelin-starred dining of Barracks Row and Eastern Market are just three blocks away! With this one, there's nothing left to do but just move in and start enjoying life: a historic property with future expansion potential, new roof and systems, and one of the top yards in all of Capitol Hill.
