About This Home
The quintessential Capitol Hill row home reimagined for contemporary living, 811 East Capitol Street SE is situated along a verdant, tree-lined thoroughfare just east of the neighborhood’s namesake building. Set unusually far back from the street on a rare, deep lot, the residence enjoys enhanced privacy, usability, and timeless appeal.
Approached via a broad sidewalk and private two-car driveway, the home’s refined curb presence is defined by a red brick facade accented with dark trim. A main staircase with a wrought-iron railing provides a dramatic introduction to the main level, an open-concept space bathed in natural light.
The main living area, anchored by a striking fireplace, flows effortlessly into a dedicated dining space and onward into a thoughtfully renovated kitchen. Here, white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a matte subway tile backsplash, marble mosaic floors, and a full suite of stainless-steel appliances converge to create an atmosphere of everyday luxury. A large window overlooking the streetscape illuminates the interiors, while a powder room completes the main level.
Upstairs, two well-appointed bedrooms provide tranquil retreats. The primary suite, positioned at the rear, offers dual closets and a private ensuite bath. The secondary bedroom features generous storage and access to a dedicated hall bath. A discreet laundry closet with a stackable washer and dryer adds to the home’s functionality.
Enhancing its versatility, the property also includes a fully independent lower-level residence with its own entrance, full kitchen, living area, bedroom, bath, and in-unit laundry. Brightened by above-ground exposures and opening to a private brick-paver patio, this space presents an exceptional opportunity, whether as an investment with dual income potential or as a private, income-producing residence that seamlessly supplements the lifestyle of an owner-occupant.
The rear patio extends into a spectacular garden measuring over 53 feet in length, an exceedingly rare offering in this coveted neighborhood. Fully fenced and shaded beneath a verdant canopy, the outdoor spaces provide both privacy and serenity in the heart of the city.
Steps from Lincoln Park, neighborhood shops, and charming cafes, 811 East Capitol Street SE combines historic character, contemporary sophistication, and investment flexibility, setting a new standard for Capitol Hill living.
