Discover a true gem on a majestic, tree-lined block of Maryland Ave in a coveted neighborhood of Capitol Hill. This light-filled, stately home sits around the corner from Stanton Park, three blocks from SCOTUS and the Capitol, and half a mile to Union Station and Eastern Market, and inside the Capitol Police patrolling zone. Built in the 1880s and completely renovated, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath brick beauty spans over 2,200 square feet, blending modern elegance with classic architectural details. Light streams in from the front and back thanks to high ceilings, an extra-wide lot, and both southern and northern exposures form Mayland Avenue’s broad span in the front and a private alley/parking in the back. The open main level offers abundant living and dining spaces, complemented by a bright chef’s kitchen custom built by the renowned Kaiken Design Group with veined countertops, built-in and stainless steel professional grade appliances, and streamlined cabinetry with Austrian hardware. High ceilings, exposed brick, and oversized windows add light, character, and charm. A guest powder room completes the entertainment level. Step outside from the main level to a spacious Ipe wood rear deck with a chef’s counter, a firebrick grill/fireplace space, and custom stainless steel cabinetry - perfect for outdoor entertaining or casual family hangouts. Upstairs, the primary suite boasts oversized windows, a spacious closet, and an en-suite bathroom with an oversized glass shower and a modern custom vanity with hidden drawers and a built-in medicine cabinet. The generous second bedroom also features oversized windows and ample storage. The upper level includes an additional full bath with custom cabinetry and a convenient linen closet. The lower level, also recently renovated to provide tall ceilings and ample sunlight, offers two additional bedrooms, a full bath, an entertainment room, and a custom built kitchenette. Heated floors throughout, smart storage solutions, and multiple access points make this level an inviting and design-oriented space for relaxation and entertainment. This level also includes a coveted and rare amenity in Washington DC: a customized mudroom with a rear “everyday entrance”, complete with modern cabinetry, architect’s table, and full coat closet! The back entrance to this beauty is located on a wide, paved private alley, complete with parking spaces for two cars (1 FULL SIZE + 1 COMPACT)! Custom built Ipe and Iron fencing with a wide gate seamlessly integrate the alley with the Ipe deck to double the entertainment space for large outdoor gatherings. Noteworthy features include commercial grade combination entry locks, in-wall speakers, stainless steel gutters and gutter guards, mechanical blinds, and wired security cameras. With its keen attention to design, modern amenities, classic charm, prime location near notable landmarks, and lots and lots of light, this home offers an exceptional living experience in a sought after neighborhood of Capitol Hill.
