Welcome to "Your Capitol Hill Homestead"!
The Homestead is perfect for out-of-town family visits, sightseeing, or a space for those temporarily working in the city. The home has lots of light, spacious rooms, and comfort not found in many stays. Some amenities include a gourmet equipped kitchen, a fenced-in backyard, and permit-free parking. Located near restaurants, shops, public transportation, and parks. We are tucked in the center of a quiet block in the Historic Capitol Hill neighborhood.
The Property:
This house is a two-bedroom and 2.5-bath home with an open floor plan on the main level. You enter the home from the street up 9 stairs to the front porch and main level. The main level has an entryway, dining room, living room, kitchen, and half bath. With the two bedrooms and two full bathrooms upstairs, and an air mattress available, 11 stairs up. Outside is a backyard and porch, 5 stairs down to the yard.
While there are a ton of amazing dining options within walking distance if you prefer to do it yourself, walk to the nearby Eastern Market farmer's market on Saturdays and Sundays. Groceries nearby are Safeway, Trader Joe's, and Yes! Organic Market to make use of the fully stocked kitchen. The kitchen includes a full-size refrigerator, toaster, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, dishwasher, in-sink garbage disposal, oven, and 5-burner range. Kitchenware includes pots, pans, silverware, plates, cups, and glassware. As well as, other household appliances such as a crockpot, air fryer, waffle maker, and blender.
Please note: While this house has gone through extensive renovations, our home was built in 1910. Some characteristics are authentic to the home and hold the charm of living in an older space.
Guest Access:
Permit-free street parking is plentiful in front of the apartment on the right side of the street. For long-term guests, neighborhood-zoned guest parking passes are available. Most guests who drive here park their car and forget about it for the duration of their stay as the area is accessible via walking, bike share, ride share, or public transportation. Generally, these are more convenient and worry-free ways to get around town. We are just 4 blocks from the Stadium-Armory metro station. And within a 20-minute walk to the Potomac Metro Station, the Eastern Market Metro Station, and Union Station. Within a 1.5-mile walk, you can also reach Marine Barracks/Barracks Row, US Capitol, Supreme Court, Library of Congress, Lincoln Park, H Street Corridor, and many great dining and grocery locations. Also, our home is along the blue metro line with access to Reagan National Airport and the silver metro line with access to Dulles International Airport. There are capital bike-share racks on both ends of our block. As well as easy bus access to multiple bus lines.
