About This Home

Capitol Hill East (Barney Circle) rowhouse, renovated in 2023, on a one way street. Move in October 1st, possibly as early as Sept. 27th. Step into a light filled living room with new hardwood floors, a working gas fireplace, large built in shelves, a powder room, and coat closet. Beyond, is a wonderful kitchen with a gas stove, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator with ice maker, and a sink with a disposal. Lots of cabinet and counter space (quartz countertops!) Between the kitchen and back door is a room that can be used as a dining room, a second sitting area, home office, or whatever you'd like. Off of this room is the utility room that has space to be a pantry as well. Up the new hardwood stairs you'll see where all of the natural light in the living room is coming from, the recessed skylight. There are two bedrooms on the second floor. The rear bedroom has an unbelievably large walk-in closet (11' 8" x 4' 6"!) This closet has lots of shelves for storage, and a long closet rod for all 4 seasons of your wardrobe. The front bedroom has a nice sized closet as well as separate built in shelves. The bathroom has a great shower / bathtub and vanity, plus a closet with a stackable washer and dryer for your convenience. Great yard! The front yard has a brick footpath and a lawn. The deep back yard has a brick patio, shed, small raised garden, and a lawn, which is enclosed by a tall secure wood fence for privacy. It is great for relaxing; your dog to run; space to create a garden; lots of sun too! The shed has lawn tools and a lawnmower in it, as well as plenty of storage for your things. There is a large secure wood gate that leads to the brick laid alley. 5 minute walk to the Potomac Ave stop on the Orange/Blue/Silver Metro lines. Tons of bus stops in the neighborhood. Around the corner is The Roost, Hill East Burger, Trusty's, La Lomita, Mangialardo's, and many other dining options. Short walk to Safeway and Congressional Cemetery (dog park) is one block away, it is visible from the front porch and bedroom. Only two miles (2 metro stops, less than a 10 minute drive) to The U.S. Capitol Building. The restaurant, shopping, and nightlife in those two miles is astounding. Easy walk to Barrack's Row and Eastern Market. Watkin's Elementary School is a 10 minute walk or four minute car ride away. This home is in inbounds for the highly sought after Capitol Hill Cluster (Pre-K through 8th grade). Lincoln Park is just eight blocks away. This location is amazing for all ages and interests, very walkable and bikeable. Bicyclists and walkers will LOVE that the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail is two blocks away! Four minute drive to Marine Barracks Washington (easy walk, five minutes by bike), 10 minute drive to Ft. McNair (15 minutes by bike), 12 minute drive to JBAB (25 minutes by bike), 15 minute drive to The Pentagon (30 minutes by bike). You can be on 295 or 395 in just a couple of minutes. There are Ring cameras at the front and back doors. There is also a Ring doorbell, just link them to your Wi-Fi. The house is wired for internet by DC Access (a local small business whose office is around the corner, if you choose to use them.) A dog is ok with property owner approval and a refundable pet security deposit ($500/dog.) One year lease minimum, multi year leases are an option.
