About This Home
As of August 2026Bright and inviting, this 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath gem on Capitol Hill is the perfect blend of historic charm and thoughtful modern updates. At an impressive 18.4 feet wide—a rare find for Capitol Hill—the home offers exceptional living space both inside and out.
The home welcomes you with a deep, sunlit front garden that is perfect for gardening or simply enjoying the outdoors. Step inside to a spacious living area with hardwood floors that flows seamlessly into a beautifully refreshed kitchen. Recent improvements include hardwood flooring replacing the original tile, new countertops, freshly painted cabinetry, updated hardware, and a brand-new oven. The kitchen also offers ample space for everyday dining.
A stylish powder room on the main level features new tile and designer wallpaper that your guests are sure to admire. A brand-new washer and dryer are conveniently tucked away in a closet on this level.
Out back, you'll find a stunning brick patio that is ideal for alfresco dining, gardening, or hosting summer get-togethers with friends.
Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms provide comfortable retreats with ample storage. The renovated hall bath is a standout, featuring colorful designer accents and a skylight that fills the space with natural light.
Throughout the home, you'll appreciate the care and investment the current owners have made, including all-new plumbing with PVC drain lines and CPVC water supply lines, new hardwood floors in the kitchen, as well as fresh interior and exterior paint, making the home truly move-in ready.
The location is the cherry on top. You're just steps from the Congressional Cemetery and dog park, The Roost, Potomac Avenue Metro, and the exciting future redevelopment of the RFK campus, placing some of Capitol Hill's best amenities right at your doorstep.
Don't miss your opportunity to experience Capitol Hill living at its finest.
