Property Description
Rich with Capitol Hill character and thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, this gracious Victorian blends beautifully preserved historic craftsmanship with more than 3,000 square feet of warm, functional living space. Tall ceilings, original pine floors, historic millwork, and airy, inviting interiors create a home that feels both elegant and deeply livable. Thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, the home now offers an effortless flow designed for family life and easy entertaining. At the heart of the main level, the kitchen connects seamlessly to inviting living spaces, a beautifully integrated wet bar and pantry area, and the comfortable family room beyond - creating natural spaces for holidays, dinner parties, and quiet evenings at home. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms and two full baths provide comfort and privacy, while flexible spaces throughout the home offer room to grow, gather, and work from home with ease. The fully licensed English basement apartment - with its own entrance and long-established rental history - offers exceptional flexibility as an income-producing suite, guest quarters, au pair space, or private extension of the home. Outside, two patios create welcoming spaces for outdoor dining, gardening, and relaxed evenings at home. Ideally positioned near Lincoln Park, Eastern Market, Metro, and the cafés and restaurants that define Capitol Hill living, 811 Massachusetts Avenue NE offers a rare blend of historic elegance, scale, warmth, and flexibility - a soulful home lived in with care and ready for its next chapter.
