Welcome to 644 5th Street NE — A Capitol Hill Gem with Space, Style & Location <br> <br> Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street in Capitol Hill, this beautifully remodeled three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath townhome blends historic charm with modern comfort. <br> <br> Step inside to a sunlit main level featuring an east-facing bay window, solid oak hardwood floors, soaring nine-foot-high ceilings, recessed lighting and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The open living area flows seamlessly into a stunning dining room, complete with stylish built-in cabinetry, and a modern kitchen. <br> <br> Featuring quartz countertops, gas range with convection oven and stainless-steel appliances, the kitchen is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Just off the kitchen is a powder room and a rear entrance that leads to a two-level deck, adding everyday convenience and outdoor enjoyment. <br> <br> Upstairs you will find nine-foot-high ceilings and oak hardwood flooring throughout. The spacious primary bedroom features a custom built-in closet and is drenched in natural light from its bay window. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath with ceramic tile and tub/shower, and a convenient laundry area complete the upper level. All bedrooms feature transom windows, bringing in additional natural light and character. The rear bedroom opens directly to the upper deck level, offering a perfect work-from-home retreat or private outdoor nook. <br> <br> The fully finished lower level offers tremendous versatility, featuring a large recreation room, second full kitchen, full bathroom, laundry room and ample storage—ideal for hosting guests. <br> <br> There are several important updates to the house as well, including new high-efficiency Pella windows, sound insulation between the lower and main levels of the house, and two-zone HVAC upstairs. <br> <br> The private rear courtyard is an ideal oasis for outdoor entertainment and dining al fresco. A rare two-car garage with alley access also has extra storage space in its attic. <br> <br> Located just blocks from the Metro and several other transit options (including Amtrak, streetcar and bus lines) and a quick walk to Eastern Market or Union Market for a mix of restaurants, shops and grocery stores, this home places you in the heart of it all—yet tucked away on a peaceful side street. 644 5th Street NE offers the rare combination of location, space and thoughtful updates—truly a Capitol Hill treasure.
