**YOUR WAY, YOUR RULES — A Rare Capitol Hill Duplex on One of DC's Best-Kept-Secret Streets**
Welcome to 1241 Duncan Place NE — a stunning Federal-style duplex on a storybook, cherry tree-lined block that most Washingtonians don't even know exists. Built in 1900 and thoughtfully updated for modern living, this 1,568 sq ft two-unit residence gives you something almost unheard of in DC real estate: *options*.
**Three ways to own it.** Keep both incredible tenants and collect $5,738/month in rental income. Live in one beautifully appointed unit and let the other pay your mortgage. Or request it vacant and claim the entire home as your own private Capitol Hill retreat. The flexibility is entirely yours.
Each of the two 2BR/1BA units spans approximately 800 sq ft and is independently metered with its own in-unit washer/dryer and dedicated HVAC system. The main level showcases a sleek renovation — quartz countertops, refinished hardwood floors, an updated bathroom, recessed lighting, and fresh finishes throughout. Upstairs offers generously sized bedrooms, an updated bath, and a spacious living room that opens onto a private second-story deck. Out back, a fenced stone patio with alley access is perfect for morning coffee or evening unwinding, while the charming front sitting area invites container gardens, herbs, and seasonal blooms.
Duncan Place is Capitol Hill's hidden gem — a quiet, one-block lane tucked between 12th and 13th Streets NE, bookended by Lovejoy Park and Kingman Field. Victorian facades line one side, classic Federal row houses the other. Yet step around the corner and you're minutes from the electric energy of the H Street Corridor, the shops and restaurants of Union Station and Eastern Market, Whole Foods, beloved neighborhood coffee shops, and the green expanse of Lincoln Park. Bike, bus, or drive — downtown DC, the Capitol Complex, and NoMa are all effortlessly within reach.
This is that rare listing where charm meets cash flow, and peaceful living meets unbeatable convenience. Don't just browse — come see it for yourself.<br />
