This delightfully updated corner home in historic Capitol Hill combines incredible natural light with a rich history. You will find timeless charm with modern upgrades to this elegant residence featuring an open concept living and dining area, perfect for entertaining. The eat-in kitchen offers a blend of classic DC style and Scandinavian design, offering quartz countertops, a large pantry, and plenty of cabinet space. A convenient powder room is tucked beneath the staircase. The home features refinished original hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, two brick fireplaces, and a long row of windows that flood the living space with sunlight. Outside, the covered veranda, private patio, and fenced garden offer a peaceful retreat to enjoy the neighborhood. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms as well as a beautifully updated full bathroom, a laundry area, skylight above the staircase, a gorgeous stained glass window, and refinished pine floors. Historically, from 1915-1944, the first floor was home to Johnston's Market, a favorite neighborhood fixture run by Mr. Johnston and his family, who lived in the upper and rear parts of the house. The market's legacy is preserved with the original gold-lettered transom above the front door. Unique historical touches remain, including the original meat locker in the living room, which was converted into a wet bar and amazing conversation piece. In 2018, this stretch of 10th Street was ceremonially renamed Outlaw Way to honor the beloved neighborhood figures William and Pocahontas Outlaw and helped create a vibrant connection among the neighboring residents. This home is truly the essence of Capitol Hill and is ideally located in the heart of the neighborhood; nestled between Stanton and Lincoln Park, with easy access to Eastern Market, Union Station, and many of The Hill’s iconic hot spots!
