You really can't tell a book by its cover. This wide, handsome circa 1908 bayfront, just off East Capitol Street and only two blocks from Eastern Market, proves that adage perfectly. When you enter through the antique iron fencing and 100 year old entry steps, the door opens and you might just think you are entering a soaring SOHO loft or maybe even a modern art gallery — you have a straight view stem to stern. Your inner architect will be intrigued. Rarely do you find the expansive living and entertaining spaces that this 2,500 sq ft townhouse provides. The wide open living room with tall ceilings overlooks the 2 story, flexible kitchen/dining/den area with even loftier proportions, all connected by a long skylit gallery which leads to the deep, serene patio garden. The mix of textures, thoughtful exposed brick, and warm wood floors all add up to exuberant modern spaces. Upstairs are three full bedrooms + two full baths. The primary bedroom at the quiet rear of the house features an en suite bath, fireplace, and great views of the garden. The middle bedroom is currently configured as a cozy library/office, and the front east-facing sunny bedroom is larger than most principal suites! Connected lower level offers even more flexibility with an in-law/guest suite with its own kitchenette, full bath, and outside entrance. A house with a happy history: host to art shows, cast parties, a sought after fund-raising venue, and countless gatherings big and small. 13 9th Street SE is being offered for the first time in 30 years and is ready for the next chapter in its uniquely fascinating book!
