Description

Look, you could rent another gray-on-gray, cookie-cutter apartment, or you could live in a cool blue, turret-topped 1908 Victorian rowhouse that actually has a soul. Welcome to 1229 E St NE, sitting on one of the absolute best blocks in Capitol Hill.

This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom setup perfectly balances "historic masterpiece" with "modern conveniences I refuse to live without." You get the gorgeous original Carolina pine floors, exposed brick, dramatic chair rails, wainscoting, and a built-in china cabinet just begging for your fancy dishware.

But the kitchen isn't stuck in the past. It's built for serious cooking (or very elaborate takeout plating) with a 5-burner gas cooktop, dual wall ovens that steam, a massive stainless Kenmore fridge, and granite counters. It also features a reverse osmosis filter, meaning the tap water is so pure it will ruin regular water for you forever.

Upstairs, the main bathroom basically doubles as a spa, featuring a massive glass walk-in shower and a Jacuzzi tub. The owner's bedroom includes a bay window alcove and top-down/bottom-up blinds giving you maximum natural light with zero awkward eye contact with the neighbors.

Entertaining? You have options. Sip your coffee on the private, rear brick patio under the retractable awning, or take your friends up to the rooftop deck for panoramic views of the city. There's also a detached one-car garage outfitted with industrial shelves and a workbench, just in case you suddenly take up carpentry.

Worried about historic-home temperatures? Don't be. The house has central air plus energy-efficient ductless mini-splits in the bedrooms, guaranteeing argument-free climate control.

Location-wise, you're one block from Lovejoy Park and Kingsman Field (hello, dog park and community garden). You're also flanked by grocery royalty: Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Safeway, and Giant. Eastern Market and Union Market are just a mile away, and three Metro stations are within a 1.2-mile radius.

Available June 1st. Skip the boring boxes and come live somewhere with actual personality.

Best,
Karina

One year minimum, no smoking, pet considered. Available June 1st. Tenant is responsible for utilities, yard care and internet/cable (if they desire).
