Description
Grand home with garage on coveted East Capitol Street by Lincoln Park!
This stately circa 1912 rowhouse exudes timeless elegance and has been meticulously preserved to showcase its historic charm. The stunning property offers a main residence with 2 bedrooms plus a den and 1.5 baths plus a separate English basement with a 1 bedroom and 1 bath apartment for income to offset the mortgage!
As you enter the main residence, notice the striking original tile in the entry vestibule. Hardwood floors flow throughout while carefully restored original wood moldings and trim grace the entire property. Savor the high ceilings and notice the elegant ceiling medallions, while functional pocket doors frame the separate formal dining room. A main-level powder room offers convenience for guests, while the large kitchen has been thoughtfully updated to cater to modern preferences and also features new stainless steel appliances. The adjoining sunroom/breakfast room at the rear overlooks the delightful garden and offers an inviting retreat for casual meals or relaxing.
Ascend the original carved wood staircase to discover the large upstairs family room that was once the middle bedroom! (Of course, it could easily be reconverted back to a third bedroom with the addition of two walls. See the second floor plan for options!) The south facing primary suite offers plenty of room for a king size bed and has room to spare for a future en suite bath. The back bedroom includes an extra office or sunroom overlooking the rear garden.
The fully finished English basement stands as a completely separate one-bedroom apartment with both front and rear entrances. With a second kitchen and its own laundry, it offers the potential for supplementary rental income.
Enjoy the luxury of ample outdoor space since this residence boasts an incredibly deep lot. The front garden and porch overlook the lush surroundings of East Capitol Street, while the serene back garden offers easy access to the oversized garage. This vibrant block is truly the heart of the neighborhood where friends gather for impromptu front porch get-togethers. With one of the best pizza restaurants in DC on one end of the block and verdant Lincoln Park at the other end, the neighborhood is absolutely bustling with energy.
