923 North Carolina Ave SE

Location and charm are personified! Welcome to your next house. This light-flooded, semi-detached house blends the original appeal of a grand 1906 brownstone Victorian with tasteful modern finishes in over 3000 square feet of lavish attention to detail. The current configuration is two-unit, with all three above-ground levels being the primary dwelling space (approx. 2400 sq.ft.), while the basement is a stand-alone one-bedroom apartment complete with a certificate of occupancy (approx. 750 sq.ft.). The two spaces can easily be connected through an owners side locked door converting it into a massive single-family home. The primary living space boasts four working fireplaces with period mantels (there are five total in the house), two sets of washers and dryers (that’s laundry on the ground floor and on the third), a full kitchen on the second floor, and an additional kitchenette on the first floor (making it perfect for guests, a nanny, or an au pair), two spectacular bathrooms with bespoke tile work, three generously proportioned bedrooms, living room, and a flex space/office. The primary bedroom is a showstopper floating 30 ft above North Caroline Ave. with spectacular views from the balcony and gorgeous arched doors/windows with another bank of windows between two of the three closets. Historic details include huge arched windows, original stained glass, period spindles, original newel post on the stair case, etc. The one-bedroom basement apartment has a combined full kitchen/living space, a bedroom with fireplace, a spectacular bathroom with a unique slate wall and walk-in shower, an integrated washer and dryer for laundry, and a private back patio. The basement was most recently used as a short-term vacation rental by the owners with a spectacular rental history (approx. $4000 monthly). Just think of covering most of your mortgage by renting out the basement! All bathrooms, kitchens, and kitchenettes throughout the home were recently renovated. In addition to a stunning interior with unique features, the front patio area is enormous for Capitol Hill at almost 1000 sq. ft. and over 26 ft. wide. This ample space includes a bricked patio perfect for grilling, lounging, outdoor dining, etcetera, raised shade-loving flower beds, two towering Japanese magnolia trees, a Japanese maple tree, and seasonal flowering plants. It’s like having your own private park. This is a home that cannot be missed!
