Description

With over 3,100 square feet, 1227 E St SE offers a 2024 expansion and full renovation, featuring a private carriage house, garage, in-law suite, and exceptional outdoor space — all in one stunning property. The main home features 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths (and a living room, family room, AND recreation room) plus the detached studio carriage house with a full bath. The stately front façade immediately stands out with granite columns, marble steps, and a covered front porch. This elevated perch is ideal for morning coffee, evening unwinding, or taking in views of the athletic fields across the street — rain or shine. Inside, a complete renovation and thoughtful expansion seamlessly blends timeless character with modern design and exceptional functionality. The open-concept main level offers a spacious and connected layout filled with natural sunlight. The custom foyer built-in serves as the drop zone for bags, shoes, and coats. The room flows from the living room to the dining space, the kitchen, and the family room. The stunning modern kitchen features double peninsulas with expansive seating, a breakfast bar, abundant drawers and pantry pull-outs, and floor-to-ceiling storage. The stainless appliances include a statement refrigerator, a whisper-quiet Bosch dishwasher, and an induction range with double ovens. The large open family room features exposed brick and a custom wood accent ceiling, adding warmth and character. The living space continues to the rear deck, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The deck is perfect for al fresco dining, while the brick patio provides additional space for lounging, entertaining, or outdoor games. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private retreat with its own side deck, walk-in closet, pocket doors, and an en-suite bath with soaring ceilings and designer tile. A second hall bath includes a double vanity and tub, while the spacious front bedroom charms with newly exposed half-moon dormer windows. A third bright bedroom includes a skylight with a room-darkening shade. The ground level, with its own front entrance, features 8-foot ceilings and durable Italian plank porcelain tile flooring. The lower level boasts a wet bar, a wall of floor-to-ceiling storage, and double desks tucked under the stairs. The stylish laundry room features sleek metal cabinetry, a utility sink, and a waterfall butcher block countertop. A full bath, a large private bedroom, and multiple storage closets complete the lower level. The rear yard showcases the carriage house, a finished studio with its own full bath, wet bar, retro-style refrigerator, and deck. This flexible space can be for house guests, creative studio, a home office. Looking for extra space for an in-law or au pair? The basement or carriage house has you covered! A one-car garage is accessed via a secure gated driveway. A conditioned space with nearly 10-foot ceilings, the garage offers excellent flexibility and could easily be repurposed into a home gym or studio. Designed for modern efficiency, the home features all-electric systems including induction cooking, dual-zone heating and cooling, mini-splits for the carriage house and garage, and 24 fully owned solar panels that help lower utility costs and generate SREC income. Thoughtful details throughout—from skylights and tube lights to built-ins, mudroom storage, and abundant cabinetry—make everyday living both beautiful and practical. Located in historic Capitol Hill, just blocks from Eastern Market and Barracks Row, this home offers close proximity to the Metro, shops, restaurants, weekend street markets, and so much more. Enjoy easy access to community outdoor spaces, including Watkins multi-use field, playground, and splash park, Lincoln Park, and Congressional Cemetery. This home has it all: historical charm with exceptional design, outdoor space, and a carriage house with off-street parking, all in the heart of Capitol Hill.
