Property Description
VICTORIAN BAY-FRONT BEAUTY - BIG BACKYARD ON THE HILL! Just in time for spring on Capitol Hill, this bright Victorian bay-front pairs classic charm with a rare, extra-large fenced yard more reminiscent of the suburbs than the city. With a garden gate opening directly to Kentucky Avenue, your patio parties are just steps from Safeway, Potomac Ave Metro, The Roost, and neighborhood favorites beyond. Inside, a sun-splashed bayfront living room welcomes with hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and wood-burning fireplace, while a skylit stair and exposed brick wall bring light through the center of the home. The dining room flows to a bright bonus atrium and convenient powder room, while the spacious kitchen offers stone counters, subway tile, and crisp cabinetry with direct access to the backyard retreat. Upstairs, THREE bedrooms include a front bay primary with leafy views, a rear bedroom overlooking charming porch-front homes on Kentucky Avenue, and a flexible middle bedroom or office beside a renovated hall bath and laundry. Classic Hill architecture, a truly uncommon backyard, and unbeatable proximity to parks, trails, and Metro. Call for a private tour TODAY!
