Absolutely A+ location and a beautiful 3BR/3BA home (3BRs up including primary ensuite) with a fireplace, connecting basement family room, and PARKING truly make this a CAPITOL choice. Gracious home with tall ceilings, ceiling medallions, crown molding, and hardwood floors is well-designed for entertaining. Spacious living room features bay window nook and a gas fireplace to snuggle in front of as the nights get chilly. The skylit center hall staircase with beautiful original newel and spindles plus a sitting area opens up the vista, while the dining room is separated from the living room by large pocket doors. Step through into a dining room with chair rail details and enough space to ensure you host the next large dinner party. A peninsula separates this area from the spacious kitchen with copious granite countertops and stainless steel appliances including gas cooking. There is a double pantry at front and convenient built-in desk at rear, plus a full-light door looking onto the rear patio.

Upstairs the primary ensuite bedroom boasts wood floors, soaring ceiling, an impressive wall of custom cabinetry and closets, and a bay window with built-in seating to curl up with a book. The tiled ensuite bathroom is brightened by a skylight and has glass shower, a large vanity, plus a storage cabinet. Two additional bedrooms are carpeted for toasty toes in the morning: the middle has a closet system, while the rear bedroom has a unique bed/closet/kids hideout combo that may be available for purchase. A bright hall bath has tub and pedestal sink, and a hall linen closet provides extra storage.

Downstairs, the connecting lower level adapts well to many uses. At front, the spacious family room has high ceilings, carpet for comfort, and a windowed bay nook equally suitable for WFH or additional play space. The large room works well as guestroom space, too, with the 3rd full bathroom on this level. A separate laundry room has full-size washer/dryer, and there is a generous storage/utility room with door to the back patio.

Out back a large rear patio with decorative pavers and planting border shaded by large trees is a lovely place to dine al fresco with friends, or open the gates for PARKING as desired.

Enjoy living steps to EVERYTHING Hill-related: the US Capitol and House, Brent Elementary, Library of Congress, multiple parks, Metro, and a short stroll to Eastern Market and Barracks Row, Trader Joes, the new WholeFoods, Nats Park, Capitol Riverfront and the Wharf. Carpe diem!
