About this home
Townhouse · Built 1890 · Historic
Welcome to this inviting Hill East residence, where urban flair and timeless beauty come together seamlessly. The home’s wide facade and elegant double doors lead into a spacious living area with wood floors, offering versatile layout options for gatherings, relaxing, or enjoying the fireplace in the colder months. The chef’s kitchen is a culinary haven, featuring stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, and a sprawling island. Adjacent to the kitchen, the large wisteria-covered rear deck provides a private retreat for entertaining and relaxation. There's also access to a cellar that offers ample room for all your storage needs - a rarity with this type of home. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms and two full baths. The primary suite boasts vaulted ceilings, abundant closet space, and an ensuite bathroom. The middle bedroom includes a cove ideal for a built-in desk, making it a perfect home office or flex space. The back bedroom is equally spacious, leading to a tranquil rear patio—perfect for quiet moments with a good book, a cup of coffee, or a glass of wine, depending on the time of day. Located just a block and a half from the new Safeway and around the corner from the Metro, this home is ideally situated for convenience. Enjoy nearby favorites like The Roost, Caruso's, Trusty's, Hill East Burger, and Pretzel Bakery, and take advantage of the expansive Congressional Cemetery dog park just a few blocks away. This residence truly stands out with a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and vibrant community living.
