About This Home
**1ST OPEN SUNDAY 9/20 2-4PM** Nestled on a quiet block equidistant between Eastern Market & the Library of Congress/The Supreme Court, this circa-1900, lovely semi-detached Victorian blends expected timeless Hill elegance with modern upgrades. With over 2,200SF across three levels and affording light from its three exposures, 23 5th Street provides a warm and inviting atmosphere: rich oak and heart of pine floors, intricate crown moldings off high ceilings, and solid (read: soundproof!) plaster walls reflecting the home's original era. The front-facing living & central dining rooms both offer daily living or entertaining space that is welcoming without being tiny. Natural light from its southern exposure windows pours the interior of both the living and bedroom levels, something not every rowhome can offer. The classic black & white kitchen's stainless appliances and granite counters provide both function and form, and the rear-facing family room has another original fireplace with exposed brick wall, mantle and surround with built-ins. Upstairs, the primary suite has enough room for a sitting area as well as a luxurious, sky-lit ensuite bath, while the 2nd bedroom has exposed brick wall (additional office or Peloton space off hall is an added bonus) and benefits from the full hall bath. The basement with its full-size W/D & access to utilities provides additional space for storage or future creative endeavors. Outside, enjoy a your walled, private brick patio (southern exposure), ideally off the kitchen making it perfect for coffee or dinner. 23 5th Street SE offers turn-key, quintessential Hill living at the doorstep of the most powerful building in the country.
