What if you didn't have to choose between historic charm, an unbeatable Capitol Hill location, and the flexibility to offset your housing costs? At 406 10th St SE, you can have all three. Located just two blocks from Eastern Market, this classic Capitol Hill rowhome offers the rare combination of authentic historic character and a legal two-unit configuration that creates opportunities for rental income, guest accommodations, or flexible living arrangements. The upper residence spans approximately 1,300 square feet across two levels, while the lower-level apartment provides a fully separate one-bedroom living space. Whether you're looking for a home that can grow with you or simply want the flexibility that comes with a second unit, this property offers possibilities that are increasingly difficult to find in one of Washington's most sought-after neighborhoods. Step inside the upper residence and you'll immediately appreciate the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Original woodwork, hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and a working wood-burning fireplace create warmth and character throughout the home. Original stained glass windows add a beautiful architectural focal point to the living room, while built-in bookshelves in the primary bedroom provide both charm and functionality. These are the kinds of details that cannot be recreated and have become increasingly rare as historic homes are renovated over time. Here, the home's architectural heritage remains beautifully intact. Beyond its historic appeal, 406 10th St SE offers exceptional flexibility. The lower-level terrace apartment features its own front and rear entrances, a bright living room with large windows, an updated bathroom, a bedroom, and access to dedicated storage and laundry space. With separate electric meters, heating and cooling systems, and hot water heaters serving each unit, the property is well-positioned for a variety of ownership strategies. The existing Certificate of Occupancy for two units offers buyers the opportunity to explore rental income potential while enjoying the upper residence as their primary home. Outside your front door, you'll discover why Eastern Market remains one of Washington's most beloved neighborhoods. Spend weekends browsing the historic public market, meeting friends at neighborhood favorites like Ted's Bulletin, Tunnicliff's, and Mr. Henry's, or exploring acclaimed dining destinations including Rose's Luxury, Little Pearl, and The Duck & The Peach. With the Eastern Market Metro station just a short walk away, nearby parks and green spaces, and easy access to downtown, Navy Yard, and beyond, this location delivers the walkability, convenience, and neighborhood character that make Capitol Hill such an enduring place to call home.
