About This Home
Historic Capitol Hill Opportunity: Renovate, Rent, or Reside
Unlock the full potential of this spacious, historic Capitol Hill residence—steps from the U.S. Capitol, Eastern Market, Library of Congress, Metro, Le Bon Cafe, Pete’s Diner, and DC’s most iconic restaurants and parks. This 3-level, over 2,600 square foot property offers 5 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, providing ample space and flexibility for your vision.
Zoned RF1-CAP, this property offers a rare mix of opportunity and versatility—create a grand single-family residence, pursue a two-unit rental setup (live in one, rent the other), or explore your own home-based business with the proper DC Home Occupation License (buyer to verify all permitted uses with DCRA).
Already featuring high ceilings, hardwood floors, classic moldings, upgraded first-floor finishes, a full electric overhaul, and a private outdoor patio with a dry bar, the bones are strong—now bring your creativity to life.
Whether you're an investor seeking a value-add opportunity, a Capitol Hill professional looking to customize your dream home, or a buyer who wants a piece of DC history in an unbeatable location—this one checks all the boxes.
Sold strictly AS IS. Buyer responsible for verifying all permitted zoning use and regulatory compliance. Property is under conservatorship; a petition has been filed with the court to authorize the sale—contract subject to final court approval.
