    What's special

    Majestic Capitol Hill town-home with a TWO STORY carriage house steps to Eastern Market! Meticulously renovated and maintained by long-term owners, this circa 1902 residence retains many original elements including tile, casework and wood flooring. Note the wide bay window and the beautiful wrought iron stairway leading to the massive mahogany door. Through the vestibule, lined with original ceramic tiles, is the stair hall with gleaming woodwork and a second story leaded glass skylight. The spacious living room leads to the dining room with its working fireplace. At the back of the house, the bright eat-in kitchen opens to a delightful pergola, perfect for outdoor meals and entertaining. The English basement level, with very generous ceiling height, adds a vast media room with fireplace, a wet bar, a truly spa-like full bathroom (recently added) and a laundry/storage room. On the upper level, the primary bedroom features special noise-cancelling windows. There are two additional bedrooms and two hall bathrooms plus an automated step ladder giving access to the storage attic. Beyond the idyllic rear patio is the massive carriage house. Wide enough for 2 cars, it currently has a 1 car garage door with plenty of space to store bicycles, etc.. The second story, reached via a spiral staircase, is a vast open space flooded with natural light. Is this not the perfect artist studio? With the car safely in the garage, the best of Capitol Hill is at your doorstep.
