Your own private OASIS in the heart of the city! Custom renovated from top-to-bottom by the owner with an eye towards EVERY detail, and sited on a prime location chosen for its serene tree-lined street and open spaces, this end-unit Cap Hill rowhome bathed in natural light is as far from builder grade as possible. Incredible location offers immediate access to sports fields and green space right across the street (sit on your front porch without looking at other houses!), as well as access to additional parks, playgrounds, and Metro (Eastern Market and Potomac Ave), all within walking. Grocery and drug store options one block away... the shops and Michelin-starred dining of Barracks Row and Eastern Market just three blocks away! Zoned for the Capitol Hill Cluster School. Open Saturday 1:00-3:00pm Tired of stairs in DC? This home lives LARGE with all 2,200+ sq ft of living space spread out across TWO fantastically configured levels on a deep lot that allows for additional possible future expansion. No dark basement or fourth floor owner's suite here - all four bedrooms on the same level! 12ft ceilings, large dual closets - each w/closet system - and a spa-like master bath w/separate shower and tub create an owner's suite that's to die for. The brand new front exterior reads classic Washington Wardman/Craftsman, while the beautifully curated interior reads modern Art Deco. Imported custom Moroccan ceramic tiles for the backsplash and a huge Calacatta quartz island define the country-style chef's kitchen (designed by a chef!), with elegant matte gold fixtures featured throughout. And then, the rarest of the rare - an entirely modern in-ground heated POOL in the (insanely spacious) rear patio featuring automatic cover, water features, night lighting, and incredibly low maintenance. This isn't the Palisades - this is still Capitol Hill! A dream setting for an Instagram-worthy event for the adults, a birthday party for the kids, or simply hanging out on the deck and sipping a drink on a hot summer's day. And... there's more: Full solar panel installation on the roof keeps those electricity bills low, and it's not leased equipment - it's owned outright! NO installer contracts, NO equipment leases... roughly $400/month presently being GENERATED in DC's SREC market! This rowhome on a quiet tree-lined street in Capitol Hill represents a once in a lifetime opportunity - nothing else even remotely like it in the city for under $2M
