Beautiful spacious 1200 square foot full main floor apartment with 2 bedrooms and one full bathroom in a lovely Capitol Hill Historic District turn of the century large Arts and Crafts two-story row house (featured in a photography book of DC), set on a lush landscaped lot steps from Lincoln Park and a short walk to Eastern Market. The house has been meticulously cared for and the owner is highly invested in the well-being of the tenants, leading to tenants staying a very long time! Prior and current tenants describe this as the best place they have rented. The most recent tenants are eager to speak with prospective tenants about their experience in this gem of a home. The apartment has been totally and tastefully renovated, while preserving very high 10-foot ceilings, heart of pine original floors, working transoms, ornate hinges and lovely woodwork. All plumbing and wiring has been updated, as were the white European tiled bathroom and eat in kitchen, which opens to the back deck and brick courtyard. This place features high efficiency central AC/heating, washer/dryer, new stainless-steel refrigerator, dishwasher and new stainless gas range. Storage is available in the shared cellar. This home is filled with light, with large true divided-light windows and tasteful wooden venetian and cloth blinds, complete with storm windows, a full eat-in kitchen, and front and back doors. The front door leads from the living room to an arts and crafts tiled foyer featuring a vintage figural Arts & Crafts large light fixture, which opens to a turn-of-the-century wooden front porch, with white wooden rockers to enjoy the nicely landscaped front yard surrounded by a black iron hairpin fence and gate. The living room features a large re-done wood-burning fireplace, with Danish steel chimney fans allowing for powerful updrafts and vibrant fires with no internal smoke buildup. The very same expensive fans have been installed on the White House! The back door leads to a black steel 3-tiered deck off the kitchen, and a back brick fenced courtyard featuring a black wrought iron table and chairs perfect for outdoor dining. Both bedrooms feature striking custom-made furniture from Hardwood Artisans of Arlington, Virginia that come with the home, including a stunning plantation-raised mahogany queen-sized Murphy Bed, and an Arts and Crafts large Cherry Armoire. One of these rooms also features floor to ceiling built in book cases and a dramatic modernist Arts and Crafts inspired light fixture, allowing it to also serve as an elegant library or den. As if this is not enough, you will also be able to relax on your black metal 3 story back deck with a tightly winding staircase leading up to a lovely roof deck. Catch this place while you can! The landlord is seeking highly responsible tenants who will cherish this place, and are planning on a longer-term stay, in keeping with every tenant who has ever lived here! Preference given to those planning on staying 2 or more years. Once you move in, you will not want to leave! Location: 1324 Massachusetts Avenue SE, First Floor
