Style, income, and location converge in this renovated Capitol Hill Rowhome — redesigned by a noted Texas interior designer with custom finishes throughout. The upper-level main floor opens to a sun-filled living room with moldings and designer wallpaper, a dining area, and a modern kitchen featuring quartz countertops and cabinet-front appliances. A convenient half bath rounds out the level. French doors lead to a low-maintenance backyard with turf, a grilling patio, and a hot tub pad. Upstairs, find two bedrooms and a beautifully renovated full bath with glass-enclosed shower, marble tile, and generous storage. The primary bedroom offers custom closets, a drapery wall, and access to a fully floored attic. A hallway art piece conceals a clever surprise — a hidden washer/dryer. The legal lower-level 1-bed/1-bath fully furnished unit delivers real income potential — commanding $2,200–$2,300/month and consistently rented in recent years. It works as a short or long-term rental, Airbnb, or in-law suite. For investors or those seeking maximum flexibility, the upper level would command an estimated $4,000–$4,500/month, bringing total rental income potential to approximately $6,200–$6,800/month. A rented parking spot available for transfer directly behind the property. Step into 708 I St, a few blocks to Eastern Market Metro and steps to Michelin-starred dining. A rare opportunity to benefit from income and a stunning home on the Hill. Owner has architectural plans for a rear addition, adding an additional upper level primary suite with ensuite bath and walk-in closet. All square footage and dimensions are approximate, based on reliable sources.
