Senate Jewel Box! One of the closest residences to the US Senate, this expanded late 1800s brick townhouse was a star of the the local house tour and is a familiar venue for countless political and social gatherings. If these walls could talk! Updated with both historic and contemporary design, this flexible residence has a unique Capitol Hill-meets-Georgetown vibe, both inside and out. A formal living room, centered around a hearth and vintage mantel, opens to the newer part of the house where a gourmet kitchen is tucked into what was once a hallway. The kitchen and hallway open into a soaring, light-filled two-story dining and informal entertaining space. French doors beyond lead to a beautiful south-facing patio garden and off street parking. Upstairs primary suite has a full bath and a comfortable den/office which is perched on a lofty balcony overlooking the great room. And don't miss the connected lower level 2nd bedroom (currently used as office + guest space) with its own exterior entrance and full bathroom. First time available in nearly 3 decades, this is the rare opportunity to live, work, entertain (and park) so close to the US Capitol, Supreme Court, Library of Congress, Eastern Market, and Union Station!
