Unleash the full potential of this captivating 1921 Capitol Hill gem! This is your rare chance to reimagine a classic and create your dream home in one of the city's most coveted neighborhoods.
Envision your ideal entry as you approach the elevated homesite with its welcoming yard and inviting front porch - the perfect place for morning coffee or evening cocktails while chatting with your neighbors.
Step inside this 19-foot wide charmer to see the existing period details, original hardwoods and classic Capitol Hill casework. This is an opportunity to design a modern layout while honoring the home's historic character.

The generous backyard awaits your creative touch - picture a tranquil urban oasis designed to your exact specifications.
Imagine the possibilities offered by the detached two-level carriage house with 11-foot ceilings: an additional rental income stream, a private guest retreat, or the ultimate home office sanctuary - the choice is yours!
Located on serene 5th Street, your future masterpiece is just moments from Whole Foods, Union Market, Union Station, and the delightful Stanton Park.
Jumpstart your vision! Permitting is underway, radiators have been removed, and the basement and carriage house are cleared, making this an ideal project for a construction loan or cash buyer ready to build their Capitol Hill dream. Architectural plans are available upon request.
