Beautiful spacious 1200 square foot full top floor apartment (featuring front and back entries), with 2 bedrooms and one full bathroom, in a lovely Capitol Hill Historic District turn of the century large Arts and Crafts two story row house (featured in a photography book of DC), set on a lush professionally landscaped lot steps from Lincoln Park and a short walk to Eastern Market and the Metro. The house has been meticulously cared for, and the owner is highly invested in the well-being of the tenants, leading to tenants staying a very long time! Prior and current tenants describe this as the best place they have rented. The most recent tenants are eager to speak with prospective tenants about their experience in this gem of a home, as is the professional couple on the first floor. ÂThe apartment has been totally and tastefully renovated, preserving high 10-foot ceilings, heart of pine original floors, working transoms, ornate door hinges and lovely woodwork. All plumbing and wiring have been updated, as were the white European tiled bathroom and eat in kitchen. This place features high efficiency central AC/heating, washer/dryer, new stainless- steel dishwasher, refrigerator and gas range. Storage is available in the shared cellar. This home is filled with light, with large windows and tasteful wooden venetian and cloth blinds, complete with storm windows and a full eat-in kitchen. The front door opens from the turn of the century wooden front covered porch- furnished with 2 wooden white enamel painted rockers looking out to the landscaped front yard surrounded by a black iron hairpin fence and gate- to an arts and crafts tiled foyer featuring a vintage figural Arts and Crafts large suspended light fixture. Two original beveled glass wooden inner doors lead to the first and second floor apartments, offering total privacy. A wooden staircase leads to the expansive light-filled elegant living room, featuring a vintage original skylight and a large re- done wood-burning brick fireplace, with Danish steel chimney fans allowing for powerful updrafts and vibrant fires with no internal smoke buildup. The very same expensive fans have been installed on the White House! A stunning antique Venetian Murano milk- glass chandelier hangs in the dining area, and a wall of large windows is covered with translucent Latvian Window Drape- panels suspended from a taught wire, adding a dramatic touch. The Master bedroom is a striking room, with elaborate original diamond-paned true divided light windows and a small doorway leading to a small front (with two teak chairs) balcony overlooking the front yard. A vintage armoire provides closet space. The back door leads from the kitchen to a striking black wrought iron 3-story deck furnished with two rockers and a bistro table/chairs, with a tightly winding iron spiral staircase connecting to the upper roof iron deck and to the lower brick courtyard, furnished with a band new stunning Houzz modernist sectional seating area complete with a hip concrete firepit and a beautiful granite ball stone fountain water element, creating the perfect outdoor room.
