A true Capitol Hill gem, 520 4th Street NE captures the charm and character that make this neighborhood so special, while incorporating modern updates that make it perfect for contemporary living. Set on one of the Hill’s classic residential streets, this handsome rowhouse blends timeless Washington architecture with an inviting, intimate sense of home. From its cozy wood-burning fireplace and polished hardwood floors to its beautifully landscaped outdoor retreat, the property has a warmth and personality that is increasingly hard to find. The location is equally attractive. Just three blocks from the vibrant H Street Corridor, residents can easily enjoy neighborhood restaurants, cafés, shops, and everyday conveniences like both Whole Foods and Giant markets, while Union Station and the Red Line are also three blocks away for effortless access throughout the city. The home is surrounded by the tree-lined streets, historic rowhouses, parks, and strong sense of community that define Capitol Hill. There is a wonderful feeling of being connected to the energy of the city while still coming home to a quiet residential enclave. 520 4th Street NE offers the quintessential Washington experience: historic charm, neighborhood character, beautiful outdoor space, off-street parking, and an enviable location in the heart of Capitol Hill.
