About This Home

As of June 2025

Offers requested by Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 12pm. This fall, historic charm meets contemporary living at 644 5th ST NE. A 4 bed, 2.5 bath classic Victorian bayfront townhouse with GARAGE parking set in Capitol Hill, this one-of-a-kind home is brimming with character and style at every turn. Thanks to valuable renovations that extend throughout, this home has been reimagined to reflect modern conveniences while preserving the period details that make it so unique. Walking up to the home, an iron staircase leads directly to an original vestibule that's complete with turn of the century tile. Step inside to be greeted by dark stained white oak floors, gorgeous wood burning fireplace, and a stunning central staircase that envelops you in warmth. The inviting living space overlooks coveted 5th Street, while around the corner, an expansive dining area made for entertaining is framed by the designer kitchen. Equipped with quartz counters, custom cabinetry, and a suite of luxe appliances, the kitchen is a culinary masterpiece that's sure to inspire your loftiest creations to date. Head upstairs to find all of the home's three large bedrooms each with plenty of space to spread out, as well as ample natural light and sizable storage. Two levels down, there's yet another facet to this home's allure: a lower-level suite with Airbnb appeal thanks to its recent renovations and desirable location. And at a time when the demand for outdoor space couldn't get any higher, this home still manages to find a way to exceed expectations. Off the third bedroom, a scenic deck presents the perfect place to work from home, soak up the sun's rays, or unwind after a long day. Meanwhile, just beyond your back doors, a tranquil deck and private patio comprise the ultimate alfresco oasis. Also outside, your very own garage is built to comfortably accommodate up to two cars. Tucked away on one of the most sought-after streets in Capitol Hill, this is a prime location that fuses historical allure with modern conveniences. Here, notable destinations such as Union Station, Union Market, Eastern Market, the Capitol, and the H Street Corridor are always within reach. Sample the vibrant selection of restaurants and cultural diversions at your fingertips, and run everyday errands with ease from the Whole Foods nearby. A home that's as captivating as the Capitol Hill neighborhood itself, 644 5th ST NE is the can?t-miss opportunity of the fall season.
