**1ST OPEN SUNDAY 9/20 2-4PM** Nestled on a quiet block equidistant to both Eastern Market & Library of Congress/The Supreme Court, this circa-1900, lovely semi-detached bayfront Victorian blends expected timeless Hill elegance with modern upgrades. With over 2,200SF across three levels and affording light from three exposures, 23 5th Street provides a warm and inviting atmosphere: rich oak & heart of pine floors, crown moldings off high ceilings, and solid (read: soundproof!) plaster walls reflecting the home's original era. The front-facing living & central dining rooms both offer daily living or entertaining space that is cozy without being tiny like many other Hill homes. Natural light from its southern exposure windows pours into the interior of both the main & bedroom levels, something attached rowhomes can't offer. The classic black & white kitchen's stainless appliances and granite counters provide function & form, and the rear-facing family room has another original fireplace with exposed brick wall, mantle and surround with built-ins. Upstairs, the primary suite has enough room for a sitting area as well as a luxurious, sky-lit ensuite bath with penny tile floor, while the 2nd bedroom has exposed brick wall (additional office or Peloton space off hall is an added bonus), and benefits from the full hall, renovated bath. The basement with its full-size W/D & access to utilities provides additional space for storage or future creative expansion/endeavors. Outside, enjoy a walled brick patio (southern exposure) ideally off the kitchen making it perfect for coffee or dinner. Steps to the restaurants & conveniences of Pennsylvania Ave & Eastern Market, as well as Metro and more, 23 5th Street SE offers centrally-located and turn-key Hill living at a value that can not be beat.

A truly unusual Capitol Hill offering: two distinctive residences, one remarkable property, and MU-4 zoning that creates possibilities rarely found in this neighborhood. Prominently positioned at the corner of 8th and C Streets NE, this beautifully restored circa-1880 brick property combines the character of historic Capitol Hill with a remarkably flexible layout. The offering consists of the larger 251 8th Street residence facing 8th Street and the adjoining 801 C Street residence, each with its own entrance, generous open living and dining spaces, two bedrooms and two baths upstairs, and finished studio-style space on the lower level. Inside, high ceilings, hardwood floors, abundant natural light and thoughtful renovations complement the home’s original historic character. Multiple entrances and separate living areas provide exceptional versatility for residential, investment, furnished-rental or live/work strategies. Outdoor space is equally distinctive. A private gated terrace with heated flagstone creates an inviting urban retreat, while secure, heated off-street parking for multiple vehicles is an extraordinary convenience in the heart of Capitol Hill. Perhaps most compelling is the property’s MU-4 zoning. In addition to its existing residential use, the zoning presents potential for a range of non-residential and lodging uses—including short-term lodging—subject to applicable licensing, permitting and regulatory requirements. For an investor, this creates an uncommon opportunity to explore income strategies beyond those available to a typical Capitol Hill residential property. All of this is surrounded by the best of the Hill: Eastern Market, Barracks Row, Lincoln Park, Metro, neighborhood restaurants and shops, with the U.S. Capitol and the heart of Washington just beyond. Historic architecture. Two residences. Flexible spaces. Private outdoor space and parking. MU-4 zoning. A Capitol Hill property unlike almost anything else on the market.

To quote Bruce Springsteen: "Closets are for hangers, winners use the door. So use it Rosie, that's what it's there for." And what a door it is—arched, beautiful, and the perfect cue to what lies beyond. Built in 1917 during Capitol Hill's architectural golden age, 427 10th St. NE boasts striking late-Victorian and Edwardian aesthetics. High ceilings and large, stately windows let loads of light in to highlight the house's original moldings. It's almost ethereal. It is the perfect light to curl up on the sofa with a book and soak in the sun. When it's time for a cup of tea, walk across newly installed hardwood floors and through a series of not one, but two tall, elegant arches. The renovated kitchen offers plenty of counter space and brand-new appliances, with a window looking out onto a beautifully pathed garden space just right for entertaining or relaxing. Ready to head upstairs? Take the grand staircase, featuring clever bonus storage underneath. Given that homes in this area were built by the same craftsmen who worked on the U.S. Capitol, that creative storage is definitely a master's handiwork. At the top of the stairs, a skylight bathes the hall in natural light, leading to a very generous primary bedroom and two additional bedrooms. A house like this always attracts guests. Luckily, there is a full, completely renovated, and separately metered English basement—perfect for visitors or as an income-producing rental. Ready to head outside? The neighborhood is just as enchanting as the house. When you finally decide to leave that sun-drenched sofa, you’re perfectly positioned to experience the very best of Capitol Hill. Stroll over to the historic NE Library to pick up your next great read, then wander down to Lincoln Park to enjoy it under the trees. You might need a little treat. For this, you’ll swing by Wine & Butter for a Parisian-style coffee and a fresh croissant. Weekend plans are effortlessly sorted with the stalls of Eastern Market and the beloved, community-saved Mott's Market just a short walk away. And on those nights when your newly renovated kitchen is just too pristine to mess up? The neighborhood's favorite Mexican restaurant and NYT's top 25 DC restaurants Pascual.

Built in 1893 and offering approximately 2,060 square feet, this three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath interior row home pairs historic character with thoughtful updates, including newly refinished hardwood floors and a freshly painted interior. A lush front garden with a tranquil koi pond creates a memorable approach to the handsome historic façade. Inside, original architectural details—including an ornate staircase and millwork, exposed brick, built-ins, and multiple fireplaces—lend warmth and character throughout. The eat-in kitchen features extensive cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and gas cooking. Beyond, a generous living room with exposed brick, built-ins, and a fireplace flows to the light-filled dining room, where exposed beams and French doors open directly to the rear garden. A convenient powder room off the living room completes the main level. The second level offers a bedroom and renovated full bath along with a striking parlor featuring bay windows, built-ins, hardwood floors, and a fireplace—an exceptional space for additional living, entertaining, or working from home. The top level is anchored by a spacious primary bedroom with three windows, a built-in window seat and shelving, and a view of the U.S. Capitol dome that provides an unmistakably Washington backdrop. This level also includes a third bedroom, full hall bath with freestanding soaking tub, and conveniently located laundry. Outside, an expansive brick terrace and garden framed by historic brick walls and mature trees create a private setting for dining and entertaining, with alley access and outdoor storage. The location is equally compelling: moments from the U.S. Capitol and Capitol South Metro, in-bounds for sought-after Brent Elementary, currently undergoing a $90 million modernization with an outdoor classroom, two playgrounds, and other site enhancements, with nearby parks and the restaurants, cafés, shops, and neighborhood amenities of Eastern Market and Barracks Row within easy reach.
