French doors open to a private bluestone patio beneath a blooming magnolia — perfect for entertaining. Upstairs, THREE bedrooms and TWO baths include a skylit primary suite with marble bath and custom closets, plus two bright bedrooms and hall bath. Flexible lower level below for storage, studio, or future finish. Visit this curated Capitol Hill home, open houses SATURDAY (11A-3P) + SUNDAY (1-3P). Call for a private tour TODAY!
