Welcome to 2917 N Capitol Street NE - where timeless character meets the kind of modern updates that actually last. This is a true DC classic: a 1910 rowhome, fully restored and thoughtfully renovated, sitting directly across from the Reservoir District’s 25-acre transformation. With more than 2,700 square feet across three levels, it delivers the space and flexibility so many buyers are after, with architectural details that haven’t been stripped away in the name of trend.
On the main level, original hardwood floors and detailed millwork ground the space, while high ceilings and tall windows bring in plenty of light. The kitchen was reimagined for both function and aesthetics - marble countertops, 48” cabinets, counter-to-ceiling backsplash with a herringbone accent, and a butcher block island that adds warmth without trying too hard. There’s a powder room tucked off the main hall, and a seamless flow from living to dining to kitchen.
Upstairs, three true bedrooms and two full baths offer real breathing room. The primary suite has a clean, modern en-suite with floor-to-ceiling tile and a spacious vanity. The front bedroom captures golden hour light and street views, while the back bedroom faces east for morning sun. Downstairs, a fully finished lower level adds flexibility: exposed brick, a full kitchenette, private entrance, and its own bed and bath make it ideal for guests, in-laws, or passive income. The seller is also willing to provide plans for a raised deck above the rear parking, modeled after the neighboring property, to create even more outdoor living space.
And then there’s what’s right outside your front door. The Reservoir District is already delivering on its promise - greenspace, a full rec center with an indoor pool, and pedestrian-friendly design that brings the community together. You’re also walking distance to Bloomingdale favorites like Boundary Stone, The Red Hen, and Showtime. This pocket of DC blends classic architecture, modern amenities, and the kind of neighborhood energy you don’t come by every day.
