Property Description
Positioned on the coveted 200 block of East Capitol Street, just steps from the Supreme Court and the grounds of the U.S. Capitol, this exceptional residence offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Washington's earliest residential history. With origins believed to date to the pre-Civil War era, the home stands among Capitol Hill's oldest surviving structures-part of a small collection of early residences that helped shape the neighborhood as it evolved alongside the nation's capital. Spanning nearly 4,500 square feet, the property offers ten bedrooms and six bathrooms, presenting extraordinary scale and flexibility rarely found in such a premier location. Throughout its history, the home has been owned and occupied by professionals including physicians and government-affiliated residents, reflecting its longstanding connection to the civic and political life of Washington. This legacy, combined with its size and layout, makes it exceptionally well-suited for a variety of uses-whether as a grand private residence, multi-generational living, an investment property, or a thoughtfully reimagined boutique offering. Rich in character, the interiors showcase hardwood floors in excellent condition, two fireplaces, and architectural elements that speak to its historic construction, including substantial masonry, original proportions, and details preserved through generations of adaptation. A distinctive circular staircase leads to the roof, offering the opportunity to create a private outdoor setting with views over one of the city's most iconic corridors. The rear lot provides a rare parking pad accommodating eight or more vehicles-an invaluable amenity on East Capitol Street. Just beyond the home, the neighborhood unfolds with unparalleled historical and cultural significance. East Capitol Street itself serves as one of Washington's most prominent and ceremonial avenues, lined with stately residences and anchored by landmarks including the Library of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the U.S. Capitol. For generations, this area has attracted lawmakers, dignitaries, and professionals drawn to its proximity to the center of government and its enduring architectural character. Offering a unique blend of scale, provenance, and location, this property presents more than just a home-it is a living piece of Capitol Hill's history, ready for its next chapter.
