About this House

Love the thought of combining Capitol Hill rowhouse charm with new modern finishes, but don't care for that cookie-cutter feel of a developer flip? This beautiful semi-detached home is fully and recently renovated, but with a distinctive personality to make it a home, not a corporate apartment. 3 BR and 2.5 baths in the upper unit, with a 1BR/1BA English basement unit with official D.C. Certificate of Occupancy to cover 1/4 or more of your mortgage payments. Ideally located equidistant to Eastern Market and Union Market, and 6 blocks to Union Station. Entering the main floor, you'll be struck by the spacious feel of the open-plan layout and glowing honey-toned maple floors. Stow your coat and shoes in the custom hickory-fronted storage unit, and look right to the cozy front nook with built-in seating and storage. Pass through the open living and dining areas, with their additional built-in storage and shelving, and pull up a stool at the sparkling white-gray quartz breakfast bar. You'll be looking into the kitchen, with its stainless-steel new appliances, island, and thoughtfully designed custom cabinetry. A charming powder room to your right completes the first floor. Head out the sliding doors at the rear of the kitchen to the deck, which is large enough to accommodate both a bench and a patio set. You'll overlook the gated rear yard, with pleasant year-round color and greenery as well as space for a grill. There is also a parking pad where the current owners stow and charge their small SUV.Upstairs, the master suite overlooks quiet E Street. Like the other 2 bedrooms, it features surprising amounts of storage, with a full Elfa closet system as well as cabineted overhead storage accessible by a charming library ladder. The master bath features a teak vanity and wall unit for a spa-like feel, rounded out by the warm natural tones of the stone in the walk-in shower. Down the hall, between the second and third bedrooms, is a second bath with full tub, skylight, and high-end finishes, adjacent to a closet with a full-size stacked washer and dryer. The middle bedroom can also serve as an office or playroom, with a dramatic hickory and rainfall-glass sliding door to let in light from the hall skylight. Systems are also recent, with a new tankless hot-water heater for both units installed in early 2025. The roof was resurfaced in 2024. The units are wired for FiOs. The basement unit is above-average for this neighborhood, with split-system (heat pump) a/c and heating, a large granite kitchen island, Elfa closet systems, and newly-renovated bath. It has separate front and rear entrances and gas/electrical metering. This is a semi-detached house with a gated private alley to one side. In 1982 the DC government approved a request by the owners of this property and the owner of the adjacent lot 153 (656 E St.) to close the former public alley between the two homes. This was approved in bill 4-354 and the alley space is now shared by 654 and 656. Both neighbors have gate keys.
654 E St NE, Washington, DC 20002 is a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom, 2,226 sqft townhouse in Capitol Hill, built in 1900. It last sold for $1,450,000 on May 20, 2025 (12% above the $1,295,500 asking price). It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate rent is $5,649/month.
