Urban oasis, inner tranquility and East Capitol Hill Convenience. Elegant and charming, this well-designed and beautifully renovated 18’-wide end unit home pays homage to the history of the building while embracing open contemporary living.

Light-filled second floor sun room that can easily be converted back to a third bedroom (see sketch) leads to the relaxing master retreat with a spacious walk-in closet. Lit from above with natural light, the walk-in has built-in drawer units, shelves and custom doors for flexible configurations. Leave the sliding doors open for a view through the second bedroom to the trees beyond or close off and use as a dressing room. Also on this level is the spa-like family bathroom with marble-lined walls and linen cubbies, recessed storage, walk-in shower and deep soaking tub with a treetop view. The full basement is currently used as a professional art studio and adds more room for expansion capabilities.
