About This Home
As of July 2024Simplicity and historic style in Capitol Hill! Minimalist beauty, a mid-century modern mood, and an envious location!
Built in 1903, this 2,442 sq ft. brownstone makes admirers of those strolling by, as the iron fence lines a scene of lush gardens, historic architecture, and an amber-hued door featuring elegant twin leaded glass windows. As guests adore the tilework and archway of the front hall, they’ll also take in the home’s clean minimalism and a mid-century modern mood. Brilliantly designed, sunlight from gridless windows and a shiplap-clad skylight, partner with the home’s earth tones and ceiling-high transitions to enhance a sense of vastness. In the living room, artful custom shelves are styled with swagger inspiring you to entertain, while the mini plantation shutters add privacy and a wood-burning fireplace creates an opportunity to fill holidays with atmosphere. The nearly atrium-like kitchen provides custom cabinetry, top-grade appliances, and simple beauty. In mornings, serve quick bites before the start of the day, and in evenings, serve loved ones in the dining room where an ornamental chandelier sparks conversation. Take the onyx stairs to the lower level where a white brick wall reminds you the home has history. Here, dream of the next clever use of the space; in work, play, or creativity. Three bedrooms are spacious featuring windows framed in gorgeous millwork from another era, while two full bathrooms - with a state-of-the-art Japanese toilet, steam shower, and soaking tub - and two half bathrooms feature modern and organic sophistication. Summer evenings will be spent outside as the patio delights surrounded by gardens and sounds of the city. Named by
Thomas Jefferson, Capitol Hill is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the District. On 1,872 sq ft. of land, this home enjoys nearby shops and posh eateries as well as access to parks, federal buildings, and the riverfront.
