431 4th St Ne Washington, DC 20002

Sitting on a tree-lined street in historic Capitol Hill, the first floor of this home is elevated from street level, offering a prestigious stance as you arrive. The elevation from the sidewalk also allows natural light to pour into the spacious full English basement and create privacy on the 1st floor from street view. As you enter the main house via the original ironwork stairs, you'll step into an expansive 4-bedroom, 3 -bath home with a well-thought-out layout. It offers a sense of separate spaces while also providing the open-concept modern living we all love. In the kitchen, you'll find a perfectly designed work triangle for cooking, cleaning, and food storage, with ample space for multiple cooks to prepare their favorite recipes. Guests can gather around the roomy dining room or snack on a perfectly prepared charcuterie board at the island. The warmth of the original floors, thoughtfully crafted built-ins, fireplace, tall picture windows, and charming original details give the home a sense of scale and purpose, making it live larger than its square footage suggests. The central staircase creates an easy transition to the bedrooms while providing abundant natural light to the center of the home. Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms with a shared bathroom, a conveniently located laundry area, storage, and a master suite with an en-suite bathroom featuring rare vaulted ceilings. The updated baths complement the home's historic charm while offering modern amenities. The lower level features a fully legal 1-bedroom rental unit with a separate entrance, 8-foot ceilings, and the potential for rental income or use as an in-law suite. Out back, there's a full roller gate for two-car parking, a fully bricked parking pad, and an outdoor living and cooking area. The southern exposure floods the entire home with light, and to top it all off, the home includes a rooftop solar array to capture some of those energy-saving rays. The sellers have meticulously maintained the property and made several meaningful upgrades, including: complete renovation of the primary bathroom, added built-ins in the living room, installed an awning in the backyard, installed security cameras, upgraded appliances, including a Miele dishwasher and LG washer/dryer and refrigerator, installed a Nest thermostat and smart lighting, and wired the entire house for Ethernet. All of this is located in a vibrant neighborhood. Don't miss the opportunity to own this sanctuary in the heart of Capitol Hill. From the home, you can walk just a few blocks to Union Station, the Metro, Stanton Park, Eastern Market, Union Market, and many great neighborhood restaurants.
