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.
