Imagine it is 1917 and your new home has just been built. You are sitting on your front steps with your family and all your neighbors are doing the same. Too hot to be inside. A couple of quarters could get you a few buckets of beer around the corner from the National Capital Brewing Company. Add another quarter and you could get a bucket of shucked oysters from the oyster house at the corner of 8th and Independence Ave SE. When they had oysters, one of the lower windows was open and you would hand them a quarter or two and they would hand out a freshly shucked bucket. Life doesn’t get any better. The talk would be about the usual stuff, work/family etc. and, of course, the Great War raging in Europe. Little did they know that in a short while prohibition would drive their beloved neighborhood brewery into an ice cream “factory.” If these walls could talk. Come and feel the warmth of this historic property. 4 Sisters (506/508/510/512) together standing post over 13th Street SE for a over a century. Inside, this sweet home is loaded with warmth, charm and cozy functionality. 3 bedrooms, 2 Baths(1 up, 1 down), interior stairs to lower level with loads of space. All the conveniences and an unusually large yard. Come and see for yourself! Enjoy a short stroll to METRO, shopping and to Eastern Market, where fresh produce, artisanal goods, and local culture thrive. Immerse yourself in all that Capitol Hill has to offer—whether it's fine dining, historic taverns, or the heart of political discourse. A true gem in one of D.C.’s most sought-after neighborhoods—don’t miss your chance to call this historic treasure home! Priced at an incredible $850,000. This timeless 1917 residence offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history.
