    Welcome to Capitol Hill This 3-bed, 2.5-bath rowhome offers charm, versatility, and income potential in one of DC’s most desirable neighborhoods. Renovated under the guidance of a noted Texas interior designer, this home combines style with function and opportunity. Explore this beautiful residence with completely updated floors, designer lighting, and custom accents throughout. The upper unit’s main level features a bright living room with custom wall moldings and designer wall paper, a stylish dining area, and a modern kitchen with quartz countertops, cabinet-front appliances, and a convenient half bath that you will not want to miss! French doors open to a low-maintenance backyard with turf, a grilling patio, and a hot tub pad. Upstairs you'll travel up the custom rug stair runner to find two bedrooms, a beautifully renovated full bath, and new laundry. The primary bedroom includes custom closets, a drapery wall, and access to a fully floored attic for storage. The bathroom showcases a glass-enclosed shower, marble tile, and generous storage.  The art work in the hallway delivers a hidden surprise - opening to a washer/dryer. The lower level is a legal 1-bed/1-bath rental, ideal for steady income, Airbnb, or an in-law suite. Consistently rented in recent years, it offers excellent mortgage offset, comes fully furnished, and was freshly painted in 2024. Updated floors, lighting and thoughtful details complete the space. Parking is available for rent directly behind the property. Located just 3.5 blocks from Eastern Market Metro and minutes from Michelin-starred restaurants, this is truly a Capitol Hill gem. *Owner has plans available for a rear addition to add a primary suite with ensuite bath and walk-in closet.* *All square footage and dimensions are approximate, based on reliable sources.*
