Property Description
Location in spades! This particular locale of North Capitol Hill feels like a well-kept secret - quiet and residential yet perfectly situated amidst the parks and strips that define the neighborhood. Set high on the lot, and tucked within lush, mature landscaping. Exceptionally cared 1909 Craftsman home was extensively renovated in 2008 to feel timeless and to highlight preserved period details, with elevated modern elements. The main floor features a formal foyer and front living room with original leaded glass windows and gas fireplace. The well-appointed kitchen and dining room have been opened to create seamless transitions. French doors lead to the private and verdant backyard with patio and built-in Lynx grill. Upstairs, a luxurious primary with en-suite bath, steam shower, and walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a 3/4 bath complete the second floor. The third story features a welcoming landing, two additional bedrooms and another bath with shower - a flexible area great for guests or a dedicated office/den. The lower level is a full-fledged media room and entertainers dream, with plentiful built-ins and a large wine room, one of many areas of the home ideal for gatherings or get-togethers. The off-alley garage is steps from the back door for easy comings and goings, while Interlaken, Volunteer, and Arboretum parks are all right there, and 19th and 15th avenue shopping and restaurants a short stroll away.  A truly elegant residence on a proper street.
