Ideally situated on a picturesque tree-lined block between Lincoln Park and the vibrant H Street Corridor, this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence offers 2,178 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space in one of Washington’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Filled with natural light and timeless character, the main residence features soaring ceilings, crown molding, custom built-ins, hardwood floors, and a fireplace that create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. The open-concept layout allows the living, dining, and kitchen spaces to flow seamlessly together, creating an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining.

At the rear of the home, sliding glass doors open to a private, fully fenced outdoor retreat featuring a two-tiered deck and flagstone patio. Whether hosting guests, dining al fresco, or enjoying a quiet evening outdoors, this space serves as a true extension of the home. Recent improvements include a newly refinished and painted rear deck and the addition of off-street parking secured by a new electric freestanding garage door, creating a rare and highly valuable convenience on Capitol Hill. The second level is anchored by a spacious primary suite featuring a renovated en-suite bath and a custom closet system backed by a manufacturer warranty. Two additional bedrooms, a full hall bath, and conveniently located laundry complete this level.
