Property description
Located on one of Capitol Hill's most cherished blocks and just steps from Eastern Market, 639 A Street SE has been transformed into an architectural gem. Originally constructed shortly after the Civil War, this 20' wide 4,045 sq ft, 6-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home has been thoughtfully expanded and restored to marry historic charm with modern day luxury. The main house's first floor living room welcomes you with its cozy fireplace and luxurious custom built-ins. A chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry and designer appliances is joined by a spacious pantry, powder room, mudroom, and a relaxing family room with views of the rear yard and its mature crape myrtle. The skylight-studded second level features an expansive master suite, two additional bedrooms and one den. The basement boasts soaring 9' ceilings with a rec room, fully featured kitchenette, bedroom, gym, and a wine cellar. Custom-built closets are accented throughout the house and in-ceiling speakers, multi-floor Wi-Fi, and ethernet wiring provide all the necessary connectivity. The deep, expansive rear yard serves as a serene outdoor retreat, perfect for entertaining and featuring a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. The secure garage is tiled and climate controlled, providing the flexibility of use as a living/hobby space or as garage pre-wired for your EV. Adding to its allure, the property includes a carriage house with a private entrance from the Hill's best alley at Browns Ct. This space presents an exceptional opportunity for a lucrative Airbnb or guest retreat. It comes complete with a full kitchen, master bedroom, luxurious marble bath, and a washer/dryer. It’s separately metered, ensuring privacy and convenience. Designed for the most discerning guests, this self-contained space offers both luxury and flexibility, making it an enticing feature of this remarkable home.
