Even on one of Capitol Hill's most coveted residential blocks, you can't tell a book by its cover! Stepping through the entry foyer of this mid -1800s Victorian, you'll find a surprisingly sleek and sophisticated 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath modern residence which combines the intimacy of formal living and dining spaces with the openness of a beautiful kitchen-family room expansion. Smart interior architectural details provide clean flow and a clever transition from the inside to the outside -- where you'll find a custom "rain curtain" fountain over a koi pond, two semi-circular patios rimmed with stone seating and a meandering walkway leading past the grilling area to a detached 2-car garage. The garage opens onto the wide brick drive of historic Browns Court. A partial basement was recently renovated into a bonus all-purpose room (wet-bar, closet, tile floors). Located just blocks to Eastern Market, METRO, and the US Capitol complex. A singular jewel on the market for the first time in 30 years. Walk Score 93, Bike Score 97.
