Featured Property of the Week: 618 D Street NE

“This gem proves that they just don’t make them like they used to. Step back in time and cherish many fine details a classic Capitol Hill home is meant to boast, with original hardwood floors, sliding pocket doors, five-panel doors, transom windows, pine and chestnut woodwork, and more timeless details. The stately bedrooms offer tons of space, drenched with tons of natural light seeping through the immaculate sash windows. The basement has tons of space to make your own, whether for relaxing, working, or guests, along with a large bathroom and laundry room. The nods to the classics are clear, but the intertwining of some modern touches is just pure genius. Look closely at the glass cabinets and then look back into the dining room — the same diamond pattern was used to infuse the new with the old. Another eye-catching feature is the Humphrey radiant fireplace appliance — an absolute treasure and a piece of art. If you’ve had enough time inside, check out the many outdoor space offerings. Whether gardening in the front, grilling in the back or catching up on some reading on either of the back porches (one is even a screened sleeping porch), you’re sure to enjoy yourself. The location? Unbeatable. Steps from Stanton park, quick access to Junction Bistro, Union Station (metro and regional train), Nostra Cucina, Schneider’s & Union Pub. Everything H Street has to offer is a quick walk North where you’ll find Giant, Whole Foods, Cane, Solid State Books and so much more. Want to go further? Rear access parking means you can go anywhere!”
