About This Home

As of August 2022

Absolutely ADORABLE alley dwelling in the heart of Capitol Hill with EVERY INCH of space utilized to perfection! A complete renovation of the main level by Four Brothers in 2017 features new hardwood floors, custom entertainment shelving (with a TV that conveys), a custom dining table that hides under the stairs and pulls out to a 2- or a 4-top, and a custom cabinet below the table to house an effective, exterior-venting combo washer-dryer. Step past the working wood fireplace into a newly re-designed kitchen boasting ample cabinet space, quartz countertops, and space-saving Bosch appliances. Upstairs you’ll find a *stunning* primary bathroom, completely renovated in 2019 by Sanabria & Co., featuring a custom vanity and wooden countertop, floor-to-ceiling tile, gorgeous floating shelves, and a Toto Washlet bidet. Hidden nooks and closets on the main level + three generous clothing closets AND a linen closet upstairs provide this home a shocking amount of storage space. Additional improvements include a new skylight above the bathroom (2017), a new patio and fence (2018), a new tankless water heater (2018), new door hardware and ceiling fan (2019), and new gutters/downspout (2020). The list goes on and on. At just steps from Eastern Market, Lincoln Park, Barracks Row, Trader Joes, and Metro, you don’t want to miss the opportunity to own this unique home - a true feat of engineering and design - on historic Gessford Court!
