Description

Sorry, under contract. Capitol Hill Italianate 2BR+large bright offc/1.5BA home with stellar storage, a pretty private patio and SOLAR PANELS is just steps to Eastern Market. Historic hairpin iron fence surrounds an easy-care front garden and tree. Step inside to a living room featuring crown molding, built-in bookcase, wood burning fireplace (as is), wood floor and a coat closet at entry. Separate dining room has crown molding, chair rail and wood floor, with bonus storage and stacked washer/dryer underneath the stairs. Convenient powder room faces a wide pantry at the entrance to a bright, table-space kitchen. There are copious cabinets and quartz countertops, a side window and rear wall of glass that includes a full light door onto a sweet private patio with table, chairs, and umbrella (patio furniture conveys) wrapped on 2 sides by planting beds, and easy access to the rear alley for bikes and strollers.

Upstairs the large front bedroom has wood floors, 2 windows with custom blinds, and a wall of double closets. Updated hall bathroom features a glass stall shower and large vanity plus open shelving. The large and bright open office/den with a window is also the perfect Peloton perch, and 2 hall closets provide additional storage. The second bedroom at rear has windows with custom blinds on 2 sides and a deep closet. Rest easy knowing this home has been very well-maintained: in 2025 a new roof was installed along with an electrical panel upgrade for the solar panels; in 2021 a new water heater, microwave, dishwasher and disposal were installed; and new HVAC and washer/dryer were installed in 2015-16.

The 3rd party-owned 10,060 kWh solar panels have a PPA arrangement providing solar energy to the property at the discounted rate of $0.06/kWh for a 20 year contract which began in Sept 2025 and runs through Sept 2045. A Fixed Billing Plan is currently in place with a set fee of $50.30/mo total for all electricity used for the duration of the contract. If desired, purchaser may switch to a Metered Billing Plan where the monthly total actual energy production is multiplied by the discounted PPA rate ($0.06). And monthly electric bills from PEPCO are reduced through the Net Energy Metering (NEM) program, where (when there is enough sunlight) the home consumes energy directly from the solar system rather than from PEPCO's grid, thereby reducing the home's total PEPCO usage.

Enjoy discounted electricity and living steps to Eastern Market, on a low-traffic street near Barracks Row restaurants, the Hill Center, Metro, the new Southeast Library, and across the street from Chisholm School field. Carpe Diem!
