429 1st St SE, Washington, DC 20003

Just a handful of residences stand nearer to the U.S. Capitol than this lovely Victorian row-house. This historic home, built in 1880, features high ceilings, lots of windows and natural light, large kitchen, working fireplace, built-in bookshelves, wood floors, window reading nooks, washer and dryer, central air conditioning and highly desirable radiator heat, classic claw-foot tub, expansive screened porch and a charming backyard. Since no alley crosses behind the home, your screened porch and the surrounding area feels like a mini-preserve on Capitol Hill. You simply can t beat the location. Home is just a half block from the Capitol South Metro and just over a block from the House Office Buildings, and a few blocks from the Supreme Court, Library of Congress, and Capitol Mall. An easy stroll takes you to the Botanical Gardens, Smithsonians, Eastern Market and restaurants on Pennsylvania Ave and 8th Street. Just blocks from on-ramps to I-395 and other freeways, so travel is easy. Also an 8-block walk to National's ballpark and the new SE waterfront.
