WASHINGTON FINE PROPERTIES EXCLUSIVE OFFERING

**Location**

Nestled in the heart of the historic district of Capitol Hill, one of the most sought after areas of the city, this early free-standing townhouse is within walking distance to Lincoln Park, Eastern Market, Metro bus and rail, Union Station, the Capitol grounds, and Supreme Court. Major commuting routes are easily accessible providing a quick commute to Downtown Washington, the Maryland and Virginia suburbs, and Reagan National Airport.

**Residence**

This pre civil war Federal-style, four bedroom red brick home has been tastefully enlarged since its pre-civil war construction to bring it to meet the needs of today?s lifestyle. Recently featured in The Washington Post At Home Magazine, this home is a classic example of this architectural period with high ceilings, crown moldings, tall windows, multiple fireplaces and random-width pine floors. An added family room and master bedroom suite fit seamlessly with the original construction of the house. Renovated kitchen and baths, built-in bookcases are all done tastefully and add to the historic charm and warmth of the house. Sited on one of the deeper lots on the Hill, with over five thousand square feet, space is provided for a formal garden, garage, attached greenhouse and additional parking.
