About this House

Fabulous CONDO-ALTERNATIVE with NO HOA in a prime location.  Behind its unassuming facade, you will find an enchanting 2-level 1BR/1BA row house tucked into a quiet alley in the heart of Capitol Hill – between 6th & 7th and E & G St SE on charming Archibald Walk, the location of one of the few remaining clusters of alley-dwellings in the city. In addition to the 8 alley homes, there are several homes on E and on 7th St. which back to the alley. Since it is a dead end alley, the neighbors take advantage and congregate there frequently. So it is very social. What sets this alley house apart is its enormous and fully landscaped private backyard. A wonderful, hidden garden…your own Urban Oasis. The switch-back staircase allows the 1st floor to LIVE LARGE, with an open kitchen and living room layout stretching the full width of the house. French doors open directly into the garden, connecting the spaces and providing the perfect setup for entertaining. Upstairs, the spacious bedroom has room for a desk/work area and a large closet. Smartly laid out bathroom features modern fixtures, a full-size washer/dryer and custom cabinetry for a fully functional space. Built-in coat rack and kitchen shelving provide added efficient storage. Quality touches in the kitchen include cherry butcher block countertops, new Bosch induction cooktop and oven, and built-in paneled dishwasher. The charming exposed brick walls throughout reveal the history of this 1888 home, featured on the Capitol Hill Restoration Society’s House and Garden Tour in 2016 and a WETA segment exploring the Capitol Hill neighborhood.  Truly, a rare find.  Enjoy efficient city living and walk/bike to Metro, Eastern Market, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, restaurants and shopping on Barracks Row and in Navy Yard. Neighborhood resident restrictions makes street parking easy, or rent a space nearby.  Inquire about underlying assumable VA loan @ 2.75%.
