About This Home

As of December 2021

Masks REQUIRED by ALL. Location, location, location and secret, secret, secret! Rare opportunity to live 3mins walk from the US Capitol, on an adorable hidden alley most of Capitol Hill doesn’t even know exists. Cleverly tucked between 1st and 2nd C and D St SE, this super-cute semi-detached 1BR/1BA carriage house w/PRIVATE OUTDOOR SPACE is on a wide yet hidden alley, 1 block from the Capitol Complex + CapSouth Metro + Library of Congress. The PERFECT condo alternative or pied-a-terre (or full-time residence as it has been for our seller for the past 17 years)! Bright open space, WBFP, washer/dryer, queen-size bed BR. Rear patio w/side gate to gather w/friends, easy access for bikes + a HUGE storage shed + storage cellar. Your own space indoors and out and NO CONDO FEES! Step outside to a fully-fenced rear brick patio to dine al fresco or enjoy a glass of wine. A side gate on your patio fence makes for easy outdoor entertaining as well as bicycle entry, while the very LARGE storage shed at rear can easily accommodate multiple bicycles, and plenty of other stuff, too. If you get around on 4 wheels, Zone 6 parking spaces are conveniently located right outside the front door. If Metro is your mode, Capitol South Metro (and Capital BikeShare) is a 1 minute walk around the corner. Enjoy 550sf of living space on 2 levels, a 548sf rear patio, and a bonus 143sf storage cellar accessed from the patio (all sf per DC tax records).
Live (truly) steps to everything: the Library of Congress, the RNC, the DNC, the Capitol, the Metro, restaurants, parks and shopping, with WholeFoods, Nats Park, and Audi Field a short stroll. All while paying NO CONDO FEES! Carpe Diem!
