714 Capitol Square Pl SW Washington, DC 20024

Listing details for 714 Capitol Square Pl SW, Washington, DC 20024 : The first decade of the 21st century witnessed a marked shift in residential construction in Washington, DC, as developers sought to create spacious dwellings for a growing number of occupants in neighborhoods that had traditionally been home to government and commercial buildings. Capitol Square Place is among the most appealing of these projects as the site plan offers the sensibility of a cloister, while providing gardens for each of its residents. Garage spaces have been carefully designed so as not to present too substantial a profile from the street, while offering accommodations for two cars as well as storage. Designed in what is essentially a historical revival style, these townhouses evoke the architecture of what occupied most of the area in the 18th and early 19th centuries. The project is welcoming and appropriate in scale. This townhouse comprises approximately 2,400 square feet with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as a powder room, shared over its four stories. The entire interior was treated to an elegant and serene decorating scheme. The first floor offers a bedroom, which could be used as a home gym or office, and garage access. The living room with gas fireplace, eat-in kitchen, and powder room are located on the second floor as well as a balcony. The third floor offers the principal bedroom with a handsomely renovated bathroom, high ceilings, and a walk-in closet. There is another bedroom of generous size, a renovated hall bathroom, and laundry on this level. The fourth floor could serve many uses, such as a bedroom, as it includes an ensuite full bathroom. A useful upgrade was the addition in the primary bedroom of blinds that operate on a remote control and are currently programmed to lower at sunset. The second-floor blinds are also automatically operated on an adjustable timer. Automatic custom blinds are also found in the living room, kitchen, and breakfast area. This property is conveniently located with access to routes around the city and beyond. Proximity to the Southwest waterfront and a short walk to restaurants, shops, and theaters, and Metro makes this location on of the most desirable anywhere in Washington, DC.
