Property Description

Freshly improved, thoughtfully updated, and delivering exceptional value, this light-filled semi-detached Capitol Hill gem offers the space, updates, and outdoor living buyers rarely find at this price point. With 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and approximately 1,200 square feet, the home blends classic charm with meaningful modern upgrades for truly move-in ready living. Inside, you're greeted by a bright and airy main level featuring a spacious living room, cozy sitting area, dedicated dining space, and a generously sized kitchen designed for both everyday life and entertaining. Recent improvements - including refinished hardwood floors and a fully renovated half bath - elevate the home's style and comfort. Upstairs, two serene bedrooms provide versatility and function, including a secondary bedroom with a custom Murphy bed, perfect for guests, a home office, or flexible living. New hardwood flooring on the upper level adds warmth and continuity throughout. Major system upgrades provide peace of mind for years to come, including a new HVAC system (2023), new water heater (2025), updated crawl space plumbing and vapor barrier (2022), and a recently inspected and resealed roof (2024). Step outside to a professionally designed private backyard oasis - a rare find in the city. This fully fenced space features hardscaping, irrigation, and room to relax, garden, or entertain. Located just moments from H Street, Union Market, parks, transit, and neighborhood favorites like Whole Foods, Safeway, Giant, restaurants, and local shops, this home offers both lifestyle convenience and long-term value.
