Property Description
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 homes 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 propertys MU-4 zoning. In addition to its existing residential use, the zoning presents potential for a range of non-residential and lodging usesincluding short-term lodgingsubject 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.
