Surrounded by deep front and rear landscaped gardens, your privacy is assured and your green thumb made happy.

The lower level is quite flexible. presently a gym, formerly a music room and prior a bedroom...a shower bath, a huge laundry room and storage room with access to the rear garden from this level. The kitchen's breakfast room opens to and overlooks the lush patio/garden...perfect for large scale entertaining and/or a cup of tea in the morning or spot of merlot at the end of the day... At the very rear of the property is a huge two-car GARAGE with extra storage---that rare commodity everyone seeks and is so seldom found! The garage opens onto the expansive A Street/East Capitol Street brick alley...where children play hoops and perhaps, practice a few soccer moves. 633 East Capitol Street is quite special---a rare find and one of the best!
