About this home
Welcome to 812 E Street SE, a rare opportunity to own a piece of Washington, DC’s storied past—combined with the versatility and income potential of today's lifestyle demands. This historic brick rowhome features two beautiful self-contained units plus a separate, fully detached carriage house—a configuration that offers exceptional flexibility for living, investing, and hosting. Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street just blocks from Eastern Market, Barracks Row, and the Eastern Market Metro, this 2,640+ square foot property is not only steps from daily conveniences, parks, and top-rated schools—but also just around the corner from a Michelin-starred restaurant, placing world-class dining practically at your doorstep. The original architecture has been lovingly preserved, from the stately brick façade and intricate wrought iron railings to the marble fireplace and oversized windows. Inside, you’ll find that modern systems and updated interiors provide seamless, low-maintenance living—combining elegance with ease. This fantastic property includes the main Rowhome (Two Units) divided into two fully independent living spaces, each with private entry. The main unit offers a gracious 2-bedroom, 1-bath home filled with natural light, high ceilings, and timeless touches. French doors open to a private balcony with ornamental ironwork, while the living area centers around a classic marble fireplace that can be reconverted and made fully functional. A stylish kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a dedicated dining space completes this refined and inviting residence. The lower unit is a well-appointed 1-bedroom, 1-bath unit offering comfort and convenience with updated finishes, generous storage, and plenty of charm—ideal for rental income, guests, or flexible personal use. The detached Carriage House is a truly rare feature in Capitol Hill. This completely separate, 1-bedroom, 1-bath unit sits at the rear of the property and offers total privacy. With both front and rear access, a full kitchen, in-unit laundry, and an open layout, the carriage house is perfect for rental income, a home office, in-law suite, or studio space—a unique and valuable asset rarely found in DC real estate. As an additional bonus, a coveted off-street parking space is included and currently designated for the carriage house, adding tremendous value for renters and ease for owners alike. Whether you live in one unit and rent the others, are seeking substantial rental income in an unmatched location in the District, or need adaptable space for multigenerational living, work, or travel, 812 E Street SE delivers unmatched flexibility and value. Situated in one of DC’s most desirable and walkable neighborhoods, you're mere steps from the Metro Station, Trader Joe’s, the historic Eastern Market, coffee shops, libraries, parks, and the award-winning Rose’s Luxury restaurant, Michelin-starred and nationally acclaimed. The U.S. Capitol, Navy Yard, and major commuter routes are also just minutes away. 812 E Street SE is a rare Capitol Hill gem—offering historic charm, modern comfort, and extraordinary versatility, all within one of the city's most dynamic and celebrated neighborhoods. With an appraisal above the list price, this home isn’t just a beautiful place to live—it’s a sound financial decision and a truly remarkable piece of history ready for its next owner. *PLEASE NOTE: Square footage indicated in the tax record is incorrect and does not include the Carriage House.
