    Welcome to 502 12th Street NE, a beautifully updated Capitol Hill Victorian offering the rare combination of historic charm, modern flexibility, income-producing potential, and coveted off-street parking. Ideally situated on a picturesque tree-lined block between Lincoln Park and the vibrant H Street Corridor, this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence offers 2,178 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space in one of Washington’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Filled with natural light and timeless character, the main residence features soaring ceilings, crown molding, custom built-ins, hardwood floors, and a fireplace that create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. The open-concept layout allows the living, dining, and kitchen spaces to flow seamlessly together, creating an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen has been enhanced with a new Samsung Bespoke refrigerator and Samsung Bespoke range, bringing modern style and functionality to the heart of the home. At the rear of the home, sliding glass doors open to a private, fully fenced outdoor retreat featuring a two-tiered deck and flagstone patio. Whether hosting guests, dining al fresco, or enjoying a quiet evening outdoors, this space serves as a true extension of the home. Recent improvements include a newly refinished and painted rear deck and the addition of off-street parking secured by a new electric freestanding garage door, creating a rare and highly valuable convenience on Capitol Hill. The second level is anchored by a spacious primary suite featuring a renovated en-suite bath and a custom closet system backed by a manufacturer warranty. Two additional bedrooms, a full hall bath, and conveniently located laundry complete this level.
