An incredibly rare opportunity to own a gorgeous vacant turn-key multi-family property in the heart of Capitol Hill (MU-4 Zoning). Meticulously restored and cared for, this historic home consists of two separate spaces, including a total of four self-sufficient living flats. Live in one house and rent the other; or combine the property into one grand home. Ideal for Airbnb, or short-term and corporate rentals. Located in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the city, within walking proximity to the Capitol, public transportation, restaurants, shopping, parks, and museums. Sitting on a corner lot, this property boasts a slightly larger main home in the front (251 8th St NE), with an open living area, two bedrooms and baths upstairs, and a separate studio suite in the lower-level. The rear home (801 C St NE) has a side entrance with an open living area as well. It too has two bedrooms and baths upstairs, and a lower-level studio suite with its own egress. The rear house opens up to a private gated terrace, beautifully paved with heated flagstone. Private heated parking pad for multiple vehicles is included.
