Capitol Hill is an enduringly popular neighborhood, valued for its proximity to Federal and historic landmarks and for its vibrant community spirit. The home at 19 Second Street, NE, is ideally located in the community - within a block of the House and Senate office buildings, the U.S. Capitol, the Library of Congress, the Folger Shakespeare Library, and literally across the street from the Supreme Court. Myriad shops, restaurants, cafes, and local businesses are conveniently situated along nearby Pennsylvania and Massachusetts Avenues. Eastern Market - featuring farm-fresh produce, seafood, poultry, gourmet specialties and handcrafts - is just a few blocks away. Also close by is Union Station, the city's Amtrak train hub, as well as red, blue, and orange line D.C. Metro stops. A short drive away is Reagan Airport and entry points to major highways. The house is located in a 'walker's paradise' with easy access to acres of landscaped parkland, the Potomac River, biking and countless recreational opportunities. The original portion of the house was built in 1852, with gracious proportions and beautiful antique flooring. Behind the flat-front Italianate 19th-century clapboard facade lies a stunningly large 3600 sq foot home - its space more than doubled by a 1976 architect-designed addition, invisible from the street, which adds three additional levels of living space and a full, high-ceilinged cellar. The seamless integration of the home?s old and newer sections has resulted in an extraordinary interior characterized by large sunny rooms with high ceilings, abundant tall windows, lovely architectural detailing, and exceptional storage. Today, the home has up to four bedrooms - including a top level 20' beamed ceiling, two and a half baths, a marvelous kitchen and dining area that opens to an exquisitely landscaped, cloistered, triple-size evergreen garden, and a private parking place. Ample guest parking is available on evenings and weekends at no charge in a nearby lot.…
