A rare opportunity to live in a historic Capitol Hill residence, just steps from Eastern Market. This fully renovated 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment is located within a striking corner home that is part of the architectural history of the Eastern Market neighborhood. Homes like this are rarely available, offering a unique blend of character, light, and location that is difficult to replicate. Positioned on the ground floor, just a few steps below street level, the apartment benefits from exceptional natural light thanks to its corner exposure and more than 10 windows throughout. The result is a space that feels bright, open, and welcoming throughout the day. Approximately 700 square feet with high ceilings (over 8 feet), the layout is both functional and elegant, with well proportioned rooms and a natural flow between living, dining, and private spaces. The living area is a standout feature, set within a turret lined with windows and anchored by a decorative fireplace and built in bookshelves. It is a space that feels both distinctive and comfortable, ideal for quiet evenings or hosting. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, balancing modern convenience with the home's historic character. A Nest controlled heating and cooling system and an in unit washer and dryer add everyday ease. The spacious bedroom offers a calm and private retreat, with ample room for both sleeping and additional uses. The bay window area is large enough to comfortably accommodate a home office or a personal reading nook, while the generous walk in closet adds both charm and functionality. A private entrance enhances the sense of independence and privacy, while still being part of a beautifully maintained historic property.
