Description
Welcome to 209 10th Street SE, a captivating two-level Federal-style rowhome with garage parking and a separate carriage house, ideally located in the heart of Capitol Hill. Featured in the 2023 Capitol Hill Restoration Society House and Garden Tour, this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home blends historic elegance with a unique contemporary vibe.
Step through the entry foyer and be instantly captivated by the grandeur that defines this home's architectural touches--ornate crown moldings, intricate plaster ceiling medallions, and detailed millwork speak to the home's rich historic legacy. The formal dining room lies to the right of the entry, offering an elegantly curated space for dinner parties with its ornate clamshell niches and an exquisite street view. A discreet powder room tucked just off the dining room adds everyday convenience for both residents and guests.
At the heart of the home is the open-concept living room and kitchen--designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The living area centers around a striking wood-burning fireplace and a wall of French doors that open to a private, beautifully landscaped rear patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.
The renovated kitchen (2019) is a chef's dream, featuring marble countertops, an oversized island, paneled appliances, and thoughtfully designed custom cabinetry with hidden storage solutions--including cleverly concealed pull-out shelves within the entry into the living room. A butler's pantry connects the kitchen to the dining room, adding additional prep and storage space and enhancing the flow for hosting.
Upstairs, the serene primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a spa-inspired bathroom adorned in marble, a soaking tub, walk-in shower, double vanity, and a show-stopping pitched skylight that bathes the space in natural light. Two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed Jack and Jill bathroom--one boasting its own fireplace and built-in shelving. This level also contains upper floor laundry for added convenience.
Beyond the main residence lies a fully detached carriage house above the garage, complete with a private bedroom and full bathroom--ideal for guests, an au pair suite, or a quiet home office. The garage accommodates one vehicle with additional space for storage.
This is Capitol Hill living at its finest--where historic elegance, thoughtful design, and unmatched location come together in perfect harmony. Perfectly situated just blocks from Eastern Market, Lincoln Park, restaurants like The Duck and the Peach, La Casina, and Barracks Row favorites, this home enjoys one of DC's most walkable and vibrant neighborhoods. 209 10th St SE is more than just a home, it's a lifestyle!
