A delightful Capitol Hill East home with original character and smart renovations that make use of every inch of space. Past a landscaped lawn and front patio, the dining room enchants with a wall of exposed brick, a handsome fireplace, and original wood stair railings. Beyond lies a main level powder room and a welcome surprise - a LARGE renovated white kitchen with abundant cabinets and counter space. The kitchen and adjacent living room are well-illuminated by French doors that open to a private back patio. Open the doors and double your entertaining and living space! The second level offers two sunny bedrooms, laundry, a renovated bathroom with separate tub and shower, and a den suitable for a home office, nursery, or hobby room. This home is peppered with clever storage throughout. The upper level has two walk-in closets, built-in shelving in the primary bedroom, and extra storage above the stacked washer and dryer. On the main level, you'll find storage under the stairs, in the coat closet, and behind a secret panel in the powder room, with additional built-in shelves in the living room. The deck has its own storage closet plus a secret trap door (under the bench) to discard trash. Walk to two metros, The Roost, Safeway, Congressional Cemetery, Lincoln Park, and the neighborhood's beloved Pretzel Bakery. This friendly, leafy corner of Hill East is waiting to welcome you!
