About This Home
Welcome to 1526 Gales St NE – a light-filled, semi-detached gem in the heart of Capitol Hill. Nestled on a quiet, one-way, tree-lined street with a coveted 90 Walk Score, this beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers 1,200 square feet of smartly designed living space.
The main level features a bright and airy layout with a spacious living room, an inviting sitting area, a dedicated dining space, and a generously sized kitchen—perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Recent upgrades include refinished hardwood floors, a fully renovated half bath, and a brand-new washer and dryer. Upstairs, you’ll find two serene bedrooms with new hardwood flooring throughout, including a second bedroom outfitted with a custom Murphy bed to maximize flexibility and functionality.
Enjoy peace of mind with major system updates like a new HVAC (2023), new water heater (2025), and a recently resealed roof.
Step outside to your own private oasis: a professionally designed, fully fenced backyard and hardscape patio by Love & Carrots (2021)—a rare find at this price point. Whether relaxing with a book or hosting a summer dinner party, this space is truly special.
Located just moments from H Street, Union Market, parks, public transit, and beloved neighborhood staples like Whole Foods, Safeway, Giant, restaurants, and shopping—this is city living at its best.
