About this home
A rare find in Hill East, this beautifully renovated three-bedroom, three-level home offers a spectacular 100-foot-deep private backyard and coveted off-street parking—an exceptional combination in the city.
Completely renovated in 2014, the home seamlessly blends historic charm with modern upgrades. Exposed brick walls, plantation shutters, and built-in bookcases create warmth and character, while the open-concept layout provides a bright, natural flow ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
The main level features a cozy living room centered around a gas fireplace with built-in bookshelves. The beautifully appointed kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and custom cabinetry, and opens directly to the dining space with additional custom built-ins. French doors lead to the true highlight of the home—a stunning garden oasis. Enjoy a large covered rear porch with skylights overlooking mature landscaping, a privacy fence, outdoor lighting, and a brick patio. A custom-built 8x14 shed with a concrete foundation provides generous additional storage, making the outdoor space as functional as it is beautiful.
Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms offer oversized closets, and the spa-like bathroom features a no-threshold walk-in shower with premium finishes. Four skylights enhance the upper level, and throughout the year sunlight reaches every corner of the home, adding to its bright and inviting atmosphere.
The bright English basement efficiency apartment provides exceptional flexibility for guests, rental income, or a private workspace. It features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and a recently upgraded full bath with high-end fixtures. A shared basement laundry room offers substantial additional storage. Exterior walls were reconstructed with added insulation for sound and temperature efficiency, and soundproofing between the first floor and basement ensures comfort and privacy.
Designed with sustainability and comfort in mind. Sleek minimalist hot water radiators, a tankless water heater, ceiling fans, and a gas fireplace. Climate-friendly upgrades such as solar panels, rain barrels, and a rain garden further enhance efficiency.
Ideally located one block off Pennsylvania Avenue and just two blocks to the Potomac Ave Metro, the home is also within 2–3 blocks of Safeway, The Roost, Hill East Burger, Congressional Cemetery - home to the members’ dog park, and the Anacostia River Trail with scenic bike paths and parkland just one block away. Eastern Market is within easy walking distance.
This is a rare opportunity to own a sun-filled, thoughtfully updated home with extraordinary outdoor space, off-street parking, and flexible living options in one of DC’s most vibrant and convenient neighborhoods....
