Description
639 E Street SE is more than a home — it’s a statement of design and craftsmanship, offering 4,500 square feet across three beautifully finished levels. At almost 23 foot wide and with a 100 foot deep lot - this one is special. Totally rebuilt, only the front facade remains, by the outstanding team of Horizon/Alliance Builders and designed by Christian Zapatka, the residence features 4 bedrooms plus an office and 4.5 baths, with every bedroom offering both a walk-in closet and an ensuite bath. Landscaped front gardens, architectural garden walls, and custom steel-and-mahogany gates create an elegant introduction. Inside, wide-plank rift- and quarter-sawn white oak floors lead through sun-filled spaces finished with meticulous detail. The great room showcases heated floors and custom Kolbe bifold doors spanning the rear façade, opening to a private terrace framed by mature Ginkgo trees and creating seamless indoor–outdoor living. At the heart of the home is its celebrated and award-winning Snaidero kitchen, pairing Italian cabinetry with a dramatic waterfall island and professional-grade Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele appliances. Stone backsplashes, floating shelving, integrated lighting, and carefully selected hardware highlight the pursuit of perfection. The primary suite offers a serene retreat with a luxurious bath featuring a Victoria & Albert soaking tub, Waterworks rain shower, honed stone finishes, and Lutron-controlled shades. Secondary suites continue the elevated palette with thoughtfully designed tile and high-end fixtures. Thoughtful design extends throughout the home — from custom library shelving and built-in reading spaces to a beautifully outfitted laundry room and multiple areas for relaxation and entertaining. Outdoor living includes a bluestone terrace, drought-tolerant landscaping, and a rear terrace that can double as private parking. All of this is set in one of Capitol Hill’s most desirable locations, just a block from Eastern Market and Barracks Row, and a short stroll to the U.S. Capitol, Supreme Court, Lincoln Park, the Navy Yard waterfront, shops, restaurants, parks, and Metro, with easy access to I-695 and downtown.

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am a Brent Elementary alumni whom is very very very fond of the school environment. The teachers are nice and helpful. They really care and wanted me to succeed. I became best friends with one of the teachers the first of kindergarten. To this day we are still besties for the resties. It is super easy to make friends I still have many close friends from when I was at Brent. The teachers very active in and out of the classroom. One of my favorite memory’s was when my teacher would play kick ball with us. Just know that sending your child to this amazing school is a great decision.Other Review2y ago - Jefferson Middle School Academy

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI was gonna save my reviews until my child graduated from the school however he is now in a transfer because of the school the new principal along with the principles and administrative staff deflect on behavior issues that disrupt the learning process with the class this school has become a decline of neatness from being a generational student myself we have gone from making parents accountable for their children's behavior to allowing students to do what they want to do when they want to do it without allowing Physical consequence For the actions thanks such as home suspensions parent-teacher and administrative conferences and all of those things. A lot of the teachers are Really really great lesson providers and they do their best to keep the learning process going however the administrative staff do not back them up and all the principal cares about is her LGBTQ and all the other letters where she's enforcing that behavior process yet alone that The issues were volving around the financial stability of the school they are no longer parent community oriented and and the administrative staff only deals with issues that scratch their back or make them feel superior not accountable. It was a hard decision to let my child go from that school however the school that they attend now is a much better school and it's so crazy because Jefferson used to be one of the top DCP S junior high schools I don't know if it was because they converted to a middle school whatever it is if you know that your child excels in the learning process do not send your child here unless it is an ultimate decision where you had to make a serious sacrifice because I guarantee you They will not learn much if the teacher has to be the counselor the parent the teacher and the provider all Within a 45 minute period of 20 to 25 plus students. I am extremely disappointed of the new curriculum way that they handle things I am extremely disappointed of the new curriculum way that they handle things. And it's so crazy because a lot of their staff has already left I can count how many times my child has had to go without a subject teacher With the school year So until they fix the behavior disciplinary process this school will go down in rocksOther Review1y ago
