A Hidden Rowhouse in the Heart of the Hill

This Capitol Hill rowhouse is one of a handful of homes that could be described as being "in the shadow of the Capitol", located on a hidden brick-paved cul-de-sac a half-block from the Supreme Court. Inside the nearly 1,000 square-foot house, the living room has a pair of built-in shelving units that create a nook, and a wood-burning fireplace. The dining room is tucked across from the stairs and an alcove is large enough to accommodate an office area. The full bath on this level has a brick accent wall and a clawfoot tub beneath a large glass block window. The galley kitchen has white subway tile-and-beadboard backsplash, butcher block countertops, a built-in wine rack, and a paned glass door opens out to the dual-access fenced-in rear patio. Upstairs, the two bedrooms share a skylit bathroom.

The lower level has a rec room with concrete floors, along with a family room with a painted brick wall that houses a recessed fireplace and sliding glass doors out to the flagstone patio and surrounding yard. Also on the lower level is an office/bonus room with exterior access and an additional bedroom suite.
