Description

PARKSIDE POLISH — END-UNIT ELEGANCE TWO BLOCKS TO LINCOLN! Just two blocks south of Lincoln Park and across from Mott’s Market, this Victorian end-unit puts the best of Capitol Hill at your doorstep — Wine & Butter, Pacci’s, and daily essentials just steps away. Behind its turret-topped façade, historic character meets curated design — stained glass transom, bay windows, and a full-scale renovation with wide-plank floors and tailored millwork. The main level flows from a bright living room with custom fireplace and built-ins to a dramatic dining space and chef’s kitchen with 11-foot island, centered on a striking chestnut staircase. French doors open to a private bluestone patio beneath a blooming magnolia — perfect for entertaining. Upstairs, THREE bedrooms and TWO baths include a skylit primary suite with marble bath and custom closets, plus two bright bedrooms and hall bath. Flexible lower level below for storage, studio, or future finish. Visit this curated Capitol Hill home, open houses SATURDAY (11A-3P) + SUNDAY (1-3P). Call for a private tour TODAY!
