Homes in this part of Capitol Hill come on the market rarely. This is a lovely, recently redecorated townhouse in a prized location close to the Senate office buildings, Supreme Court, and Capitol. Stanton Park and its playground are at the end of the block. It's just a short walk to Union Station's transportation hub, or take public transportation from within a block direct to downtown. And the neighbors are terrific! The home has four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, and a separate one-bedroom apartment, all tastefully updated. There are hardwood floors throughout (heated tile in the basement) and working fireplaces on three of the four floors . Bedrooms and hallways feature Niche Modern lighting. All windows have new plantation-style shutters, and the master bedroom has an attractive, noise-reducing blackout curtain. In the kitchen, enjoy stainless steel appliances, a gas stove, and lovely dark cabinets, double-stacked for extra storage. The lush green marble countertops are accented by a luminescent glass-tile backsplash. Serve or entertain over the bar between the kitchen and dining room. Heating and cooling systems are updated and efficient. Ductless air-conditioning units built into both bedrooms on the top floor provide inexpensive cooling in summer. The fireplace is a actually a wood stove that warms the entire house cost-efficiently and with lovely ambience in winter. This is in addition to the central forced-air system for whole-house heating or cooling. Full-size washer and dryer in the laundry room. Dining out is available in almost every direction in this constantly improving area. From the quaint restaurant row in the 300 block of Mass. Ave. NE, to the Atlas District (H St. NE), to Barracks Row (8th St. SE), it's easy to see why this is a very desirable place to live! Lease includes cable Internet/Xfinity and DirectTV.
