215 12th street SE is a welcoming family home that has been beautifully maintained but retains its historic charm. With 2 beds, 1.5 baths, and a study, this house nestled in the perfect corner of Capitol Hill--a five-minute walk from Lincoln Park and the shops and restaurants at Eastern Market, and ten from the Eastern Market Metro Station. For families with kids, it is five minutes to Watkins Elementary and a twenty-minute walk to Peabody.
This home was built in 1889. It has a newly renovated kitchen and bathrooms as well as original features like recently refinished heart-of-pine floors, a functional wood-burning fireplace, exposed brick throughout, and an original stained glass window. The second floor features two bedrooms as well as an additional flex space that would make a perfect study or nursery. The fenced backyard has a brick patio and direct access from the alley--perfect for bikers.
