About This Home

An Exceptional Opportunity in the Heart of Capitol Hill!

This is your chance to own a rare, turn-key multi-family gem with MU-4 zoning—a meticulously restored Victorian treasure offering historic charm, unbeatable flexibility, and endless income potential. Whether you’re an investor, homeowner, or short-term rental operator, this property delivers on every level.

Set on a prominent corner lot, the property includes two separate houses—together offering four self-sufficient living flats. Live in one and rent the other, use for Airbnb or corporate housing, or easily convert into one grand Capitol Hill residence. This level of versatility is a true market rarity.

The front home (251 8th St NE) features a spacious main living area, two bedrooms and two full baths upstairs, and a chic lower-level studio suite with its own entrance—perfect for guests or extra rental income.

The rear home (801 C St NE) also features an open main level, two bedrooms and baths upstairs, and a lower-level studio suite with its own egress. Step outside to a stunning, private gated terrace with heated flagstone—an entertainer’s dream.

One unit is currently rented; the other is fully available for your immediate vision.

And let’s not forget location—just steps from Stanton Park, Union Station Metro, Eastern Market, the Capitol Complex, and top dining, shops, and museums. With a Walk Score of 92 and Bike Score of 97, you’re truly in the center of it all.

Also included: private heated parking pad with room for multiple vehicles—an incredible bonus in the city.
