Not just a home, but your own private sanctuary in the heart of the city! This classic 18ft Victorian, located on one of the most inviting blocks in Southeast, represents an exceptional - and rare! - opportunity to own a beautifully updated residence attached to what is unquestionably one of the most inviting outdoor spaces in **ALL** of Capitol Hill. Off the back of the home, tiered decking leads to a meandering brick walkway through a garden worthy of any magazine, with mature trees, flowering plants of multiple varieties, and picnic benches with wisteria-draped pergola above... all leading to fixed cushioned seating around a private fire pit. On the inside, three bedrooms upstairs give plenty of options in terms of layout and utility, while preserved period details such as the working wood fireplace on the main living level provide an echo of pre-war charm. Updated kitchen and windows speak to comfortable living in a well-maintained home, and the highly desirable separately metered English basement gives incredible flexibility for any future rental income and/or long-term guests. Or simply take the bright, inviting space and use it as a bedroom, family room, or how it's used now - as a conservatory and exercise studio. Hardwood flooring is in excellent condition, the entire roof was just recently replaced, and the modern HVAC system is brand new and under one year old. Looking for parking?? The private parking space abutting the property is the best of both worlds: it doesn't eat up ANY of the DEEP, beautiful lot (itself offering plenty of room for future expansion)... but yet it's all yours! Who needs the car anyway though when you have parks, playgrounds, and Metro (Eastern Market and Potomac Ave), all within walking? Grocery and drug store options are one block away... the shops and Michelin-starred dining of Barracks Row and Eastern Market are just three blocks away! With this one, there's nothing left to do but just move in and start enjoying life.
