About This Home
Step into a piece of Washington, DC history with this beautifully restored Capitol Hill home, a beautiful balance of old-world charm and present-day sophistication.. Originally renovated in the 1970s by architect and builder David S. Clarke, this home boasts unique nautical-inspired details, including ship windows, a wooden post in the living area, stained glass accents and a distinguished front door plaque & door knocker.
From the moment you arrive, the inviting front yard with native plantings and a rebuilt covered porch sets the stage for the character within. Inside, hardwood floors flow throughout the dining living spaces, complemented by exposed brick, a wood-burning fireplace, repurposed dental molding shelving and a striking stained glass transom above the front door and side window.
The living area leads to an incredibly well-designed new kitchen, maximizing space without sacrificing style. Features include high end solid wood cabinetry, Mexican tile flooring, a deep single sink, a hand-picked glazed ceramic subway tile backsplash, name brand appliances including a gas range with hood, built-in drawer microwave, refrigerator with French doors and bottom freezer, dishwasher, a whole-house water filtration system, and a mix of quartz and Brazilian cherry countertops. A newly designed powder room adds convenience to the main level.
Step outside to a private, fenced backyard with a charming brick patio with access to a walking alley shaded by a beautiful Elm heritage tree—perfect for enjoying outdoor moments in the heart of the city.
Upstairs, a bright skylight illuminates the hall as the hardwood flooring continues. The front bedroom offers a walk-in closet and custom built-ins made from repurposed roof joists, while the newly remodeled hall bath exudes classic elegance with bead board and subway tile finishes. A laundry center adds ease to daily living. The back bedroom features vaulted ceilings, walk in closet and a sliding glass door leading to a private balcony—an ideal retreat in the city.
Modern updates include a high-velocity central HVAC system, a new low-boy water heater, and a recently resurfaced roof.
Living at 407 A St NE offers the perfect blend of historic charm, urban convenience, and a vibrant community, just steps from the U.S. Capitol, Eastern Market, and Union Station. With walkable access to parks, top dining, cultural attractions, and schools, plus with easy transit options, this Capitol Hill gem provides an exceptional lifestyle in the heart of DC.
