A truly unusual Capitol Hill offering: two distinctive residences, one remarkable property, and MU-4 zoning that creates possibilities rarely found in this neighborhood. Prominently positioned at the corner of 8th and C Streets NE, this beautifully restored circa-1880 brick property combines the character of historic Capitol Hill with a remarkably flexible layout. The offering consists of the larger 251 8th Street residence facing 8th Street and the adjoining 801 C Street residence, each with its own entrance, generous open living and dining spaces, two bedrooms and two baths upstairs, and finished studio-style space on the lower level. Inside, high ceilings, hardwood floors, abundant natural light and thoughtful renovations complement the home’s original historic character. Multiple entrances and separate living areas provide exceptional versatility for residential, investment, furnished-rental or live/work strategies. Outdoor space is equally distinctive. A private gated terrace with heated flagstone creates an inviting urban retreat, while secure, heated off-street parking for multiple vehicles is an extraordinary convenience in the heart of Capitol Hill. Perhaps most compelling is the property’s MU-4 zoning. In addition to its existing residential use, the zoning presents potential for a range of non-residential and lodging uses—including short-term lodging—subject to applicable licensing, permitting and regulatory requirements. For an investor, this creates an uncommon opportunity to explore income strategies beyond those available to a typical Capitol Hill residential property. All of this is surrounded by the best of the Hill: Eastern Market, Barracks Row, Lincoln Park, Metro, neighborhood restaurants and shops, with the U.S. Capitol and the heart of Washington just beyond. Historic architecture. Two residences. Flexible spaces. Private outdoor space and parking. MU-4 zoning. A Capitol Hill property unlike almost anything else on the market.

To quote Bruce Springsteen: "Closets are for hangers, winners use the door. So use it Rosie, that's what it's there for." And what a door it is—arched, beautiful, and the perfect cue to what lies beyond. Built in 1917 during Capitol Hill's architectural golden age, 427 10th St. NE boasts striking late-Victorian and Edwardian aesthetics. High ceilings and large, stately windows let loads of light in to highlight the house's original moldings. It's almost ethereal. It is the perfect light to curl up on the sofa with a book and soak in the sun. When it's time for a cup of tea, walk across newly installed hardwood floors and through a series of not one, but two tall, elegant arches. The renovated kitchen offers plenty of counter space and brand-new appliances, with a window looking out onto a beautifully pathed garden space just right for entertaining or relaxing. Ready to head upstairs? Take the grand staircase, featuring clever bonus storage underneath. Given that homes in this area were built by the same craftsmen who worked on the U.S. Capitol, that creative storage is definitely a master's handiwork. At the top of the stairs, a skylight bathes the hall in natural light, leading to a very generous primary bedroom and two additional bedrooms. A house like this always attracts guests. Luckily, there is a full, completely renovated, and separately metered English basement—perfect for visitors or as an income-producing rental. Ready to head outside?
