Property Description

Own a piece of Capitol Hill history with this striking 1915 end-unit townhome that perfectly balances historic charm and modern living. With 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a fully equipped basement apartment, this home is as versatile as it is beautiful—whether you’re looking for an au pair suite, in-law retreat, or potential rental income. Step inside and feel the character of the era: rich American chestnut woodwork, stained glass windows, and detailed tile work that tell a story over a century in the making. Modern updates make daily living effortless, including all-new hardwood floors (2018 & 2020), fully renovated bathrooms, and a smart conversion from oil to natural gas. A sunroom addition on the back of the home leads to the fenced backyard which creates a private haven for outdoor dining, play, or simply relaxing with a book. Every corner of this home blends the grace of 1915 craftsmanship with the comfort of contemporary design. This is more than a house—it’s a lifestyle. From its timeless details to its modern upgrades, this residence invites you to write the next chapter in Capitol Hill’s history, right in the heart of Washington, D.C.
