Spread across the residence are five bedrooms, with two tucked away in the basement, offering versatile spaces that can be transformed into cozy dens or private sanctuaries (ie – not legal bedrooms) Upstairs, two full baths ensure convenience for the occupants, while an additional full bath in the basement adds flexibility to the living arrangements. Storage abounds throughout the home, catering to practical needs without compromising on aesthetics. Every nook and cranny has been thoughtfully designed to maximize space, ensuring clutter is kept at bay while maintaining the home's inherent charm. Step outside, and you're greeted by a charming European-style brick patio, adorned with lush vegetation and trees, creating a serene oasis amidst the bustling cityscape. It's the perfect spot to unwind after a long day, entertain guests, or simply bask in the tranquility of nature. Convenience is key, with easy street parking available and the added luxury of a two-car garage/workshop, a rare find in Capitol Hill. Whether you're strolling through nearby Lincoln Park or exploring the myriad attractions that Capitol Hill has to offer, everything you need is just steps away from your doorstep. This is more than just a house; it's a piece of history, a sanctuary of elegance and comfort, waiting for its next chapter to unfold. Don't miss your chance to make this rare treasure your own and be a part of Capitol Hill's storied legacy.
