Description

Welcome to 1208 Walter Street an elegant 2 bedroom, 2 bath residence tucked onto one of Capitol Hill’s most treasured blocks. Thoughtfully updated to blend historic charm with modern sophistication, this home offers gracious living spaces both indoors and out. The main level opens with a spacious living room anchored by a gas fireplace, flowing seamlessly to a separate dining area and a beautifully renovated kitchen with shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and extended countertops. A full bath on this level adds everyday convenience. Upstairs, natural light filters in through a window at the landing, creating a versatile space perfect for a home office or reading nook. The primary bedroom features a custom closet system, while the second bedroom extends onto a private deck. A skylit full bath and laundry on this level ensure comfort and ease. Outdoor living is a true highlight, with a welcoming front porch, a landscaped backyard, a flagstone patio, garden lighting, and privacy fencing—all designed for both quiet retreat and entertaining. A rare one-car garage with 240V EV-ready wiring enhances the home’s modern appeal. Recent updates include a new roof and upgraded electrical panel (2022), Pella windows and doors, CAT6 wiring throughout multiple rooms, a Nest thermostat, Z-Wave dimmers, and a FloLogic water shutoff system. Situated just steps from Eastern Market, Barracks Row, and Metro, and within blocks of Lincoln Park, this home offers unmatched access to Capitol Hill’s most beloved destinations. The U.S. Capitol, Folger Theater, Trader Joe’s, Michelin-starred dining, and the soon-to-reopen Mott’s Market are all close at hand. With no condo fees and a rare combination of historic charm, thoughtful updates, and premier location, 1208 Walter Street SE is Capitol Hill living at its finest.
