    What's special

    Primary suiteRooftop deckVintage-style bathroomsSoaring ceilingsWarm wood floors
    Welcome to 517 6th Street SE, a mid-century duplex penthouse right in the heart of Capitol Hill. This is a home with personality 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and plenty of details that make it stand out. Inside, the warm wood floors and soaring ceilings give the living spaces real character. The living room is anchored by a fireplace, perfect for cool evenings, and you'll find another one upstairs for a second cozy spot to unwind. The kitchen is big enough to eat in, whether that's coffee and breakfast or something a little more ambitious, and the primary suite feels like a private retreat within the home. The rooftop deck is the showstopper huge, private, and with sweeping views of the Capitol. It's the kind of outdoor space you don't find often on the Hill, perfect for entertaining or just enjoying the city from above. Other unique features include a two-car garage (a rarity in this neighborhood), a wood sauna for winding down at the end of the day, and vintage-style bathrooms that bring back a little timeless charm. The location is hard to beat just six blocks from the Capitol, Eastern Market, and Metro. You're close to everything, yet the tree-lined streets here bring a real sense of calm. With easy access to 395 and the airport, getting around the city or out of town is simple. 517 6th Street SE is a home that mixes history, style, and convenience. If you've been looking for something with Capitol Hill charm plus a few rare extras, this one checks all the boxes.
