Rare opportunity to restore and reimagine this stately semi-detached Capitol Hill residence, ideally positioned on one of the neighborhood’s most picturesque streets. Overlooking two parks and featuring an expansive front garden plus a spacious rear patio perfect for entertaining and al fresco dining, this property offers the space, setting, and potential that are increasingly hard to find on the Hill. Located just blocks from the Capitol Complex, Metro, Whole Foods, Eastern Market, Barracks Row, Navy Yard, and the restaurants and shops along Pennsylvania Avenue, and is in bound to Brent elementary school, the location delivers exceptional convenience and vibrant city living. Inside, high ceilings and more than 2,300 square feet of living space provide a remarkable canvas for renovation. Whether transformed into a grand single-family residence or potentially reconfigured as a multi-unit property, the possibilities are extensive. Each level includes a bathroom, and the home is believed to retain separate gas hookups from its earlier use as multiple apartments. The expansive main level features a rear bonus space with endless possibilities for a dream kitchen, family room, home office, or entertainment area. Rich with character and untapped potential, this is a rare chance for investors, developers, or end users with vision to create something truly special in a premier Capitol Hill location. Property will require renovation and is offered strictly AS-IS.
