With an unbeatable address, 1527 East Capitol is a true Capitol Hill classic. This bay front Victorian has been meticulously restored and is wonderfully livable.

A deep front yard provides a graceful entry to the slightly elevated main floor. The open-space main floor allows for maximizing the north/south light exposure. With the stair case tucked along one side of the wall, the living room becomes more expansive, with an open kitchen providing more livable flow. The dining area and another media room are combined to create entertaining space. A first floor powder room is conveniently situated toward the rear of the main floor. 1st and 2nd floor balconies provide additional outdoor sitting areas. The rear yard - recently landscaped- also houses a storage shed to provide more storage for the main house.

The second floor of the home features three very large and livable bedrooms. The master bedroom, particularly with the lovely bay window, offers a serene living space. Two large closets with built-in storage provide great space-saving opportunities. Overly large second and third bedrooms show that row houses do not have to have closet-sized third "bedrooms"! The Pottery Barn-inspired bathroom is spacious and very tastefully rendered, with quality hardware and materials. A second floor deck overlooks the yard.

The recently painted lower level sports a full kitchen and bath, as well as front and back entrance. It is currently configured as an "in-law suite". The connecting staircase and operable door can incorporate the space back into the main house, if required.
