Welcome to 644 5th Street NE — A Capitol Hill Gem with Space, Style & Location
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
