Historic town-home on one of Capitol Hills Best Blocks! Sited on a verdant tree-lined avenue filled with beautifully maintained gardens, this light-filled residence offers a tantalizing combination of historic elements and modern updates. Original heart pine floors and woodwork are warm and welcoming, while the updated kitchen features a sunny breakfast room overlooking the brick-lined rear patio. The oversized GARAGE means never having to circle the block to find parking AND provides extra storage space for bikes. The upper level features a bright stair landing, oversized cedar closet, three bedrooms and a renovated bathroom. As an added bonus, the lower level is configured as a separate one bedroom rental unit (currently vacant, but with valid Certificate of Occupancy) or use it as overflow living space with access to a large front patio. Just steps to Providence Park and Brent Elementary School, and a few minutes walk to the US Capitol complex, Capitol South metro, the Library of Congress, the Capitol Hill Club and the National Democratic Club talk about proximity to power!
