About this home
Positioned on the coveted 200 block of East Capitol Street, just steps from the Supreme Court and the grounds of the U.S. Capitol, this exceptional multi-unit residence offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Washington’s earliest residential history. With origins believed to date to the pre–Civil War era, the property stands among Capitol Hill’s oldest surviving structures—part of a small collection of early homes that helped shape the neighborhood as it evolved alongside the nation’s capital.
Spanning nearly 4,500 square feet, the building is configured as two distinct units, offering both immediate income potential and long-term flexibility. The lower level (Unit 2) features a well-proportioned two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout, while Unit 1 spans the main and upper two levels, offering an expansive eight-bedroom, four-bathroom residence with remarkable scale rarely found in this location. This configuration presents a wide range of opportunities, from investment and rental income to multi-generational living or a conversion back to a grand single-family home.
Throughout its history, the property has been owned and occupied by professionals including physicians and government-affiliated residents, underscoring its longstanding connection to the civic and political fabric of Washington. The size and layout reflect a legacy of both residential and professional use, offering a unique foundation for a variety of future uses, including boutique residential, co-living, or continued multi-unit income production.
Rich in character, the interiors feature hardwood floors in excellent condition, two fireplaces, and architectural elements that speak to its historic construction, including substantial masonry, original proportions, and details preserved through generations of thoughtful adaptation. A distinctive circular staircase leads to the roof, presenting the opportunity to create a private outdoor setting with views over one of the city’s most iconic corridors.
The rear of the property offers a rare parking pad accommodating four or more vehicles—an invaluable amenity on East Capitol Street. Beyond the home, the surrounding neighborhood carries unparalleled historical and cultural significance. East Capitol Street is one of Washington’s most prominent and ceremonial avenues, lined with stately residences and anchored by landmarks including the Library of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the U.S. Capitol. For generations, this area has drawn lawmakers, dignitaries, and professionals seeking proximity to the center of government and the enduring prestige of Capitol Hill.
Combining scale, income potential, and irreplaceable historical provenance, this property presents a truly unique opportunity—whether as a strategic investment, a legacy asset, or a reimagined residence in one of Washington’s most distinguished settings....
