319 C St SE Washington, DC 20003

Listing details for 319 C St SE, Washington, DC 20003 : Now offered at a newly reduced price, 319 C Street SE is a beautiful Capitol Hill home with nearly 3,000 square feet of finished living space, a separate renovated English basement, a private garden, and some of the neighborhood’s most recognizable views. Set along one of Capitol Hill’s iconic blocks, the home combines the character you hope to find in a historic Federal residence with the updates and flexibility that make it easy to live in today. The primary residence spans more than 2,300 square feet across three levels. On the main floor, a traditional foyer opens to gracious living and dining spaces anchored by an original marble fireplace and mantel. The updated kitchen offers granite countertops with breakfast bar seating, KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, a gas range, solid oak cabinetry, and abundant storage, with windows overlooking the rear garden. A beautifully finished full bath with tiled shower and Kohler fixtures adds convenience to the main level. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms, a sunroom, and a full bath occupy the second floor. The entire top level creates a wonderful primary suite with two large rooms, each spacious enough for a king-sized bed, an additional sunroom ideal for an office or reading room, multiple closets, and a large bath with a deep soaking tub, multiple Moen showerheads, and handheld sprayer. One of the home’s most special features is the view. From the upper level, enjoy year-round views toward the Library of Congress and seasonal views of the U.S. Capitol when the trees open in winter — a daily reminder that you are living in the heart of Washington. The garden-level English basement adds nearly 600 square feet of finished space and is accessible both independently and from the main residence. Fully renovated with its own kitchen, full bath with heated tile floors, laundry, and direct access to the rear patio and garden, it works beautifully for guests, extended family, an au pair, home office, or potential rental income. Outside, the private rear garden feels like a true escape from the city. Mature landscaping, timed irrigation, brick hardscaping, and a covered patio with ceiling fan create plenty of room for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying a quiet morning at home. The house has also benefited from important infrastructure improvements, including a four-year-old multi-zone HVAC system and dual tankless water heaters. And then there is the location. Eastern Market, Barracks Row, Capitol South Metro, Pennsylvania Avenue, Lincoln Park, the Library of Congress, and the U.S. Capitol are all just moments away. Coffee, restaurants, neighborhood shops, parks, Metro, and some of Washington’s most celebrated landmarks are part of everyday life here. With its new price, substantial square footage, flexible English basement, private outdoor space, historic character, and exceptional Capitol Hill setting, 319 C Street SE offers an opportunity that is well worth another look.
