Ideally positioned in the heart of Capitol Hill, 19 2nd Street NE offers a rare opportunity to own a substantial and historically significant residence in one of Washington’s most iconic settings. Located just steps from the U.S. Capitol, House and Senate office buildings, the Library of Congress, the Folger Shakespeare Library, and directly across from the Supreme Court, this exceptional home places the very best of the nation’s capital just outside your door. Originally built in 1852, the residence seamlessly blends its historic Italianate character with a thoughtfully designed 1976 architectural expansion that is virtually invisible from the street. Behind the classic 19th-century clapboard façade lies an unexpectedly expansive homeoffering remarkable scale, light, and versatility across multiple levels, including a full high-ceilinged cellar. The interior is distinguished by gracious proportions, antique flooring, soaring ceilings, tall windows, refined architectural details, and exceptional storage throughout. Up to four bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths provide flexibility for modern living, while the dramatic top-level space with its striking 20-foot beamed ceiling adds a memorable architectural focal point. A generously sized kitchen and dining area open to an exquisitely landscaped, cloistered triple-size evergreen garden, creating a rare private outdoor retreat in the city. Private parking completes the offering, with ample guest parking available nearby on evenings and weekends. This premier location also offers effortless access to Eastern Market, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts Avenue dining and shopping, Union Station, multiple Metro lines, Reagan National Airport, major commuter routes, parkland, the Potomac River, and extensive biking and recreational amenities.
