What's around 318 7th St NE

About this property

Perhaps the most unique residence currently on market in Capitol Hill, this architectural showcase is the only single family alley house currently listed for sale in Cap Hill. With a fascinating history and unique design, 318 7th was Washington Post?s House of the Week in September 2023 and has also been featured in the Hill Rag, UrbanTurf, Curbed, Exposed Brick DC, and PoPville. Originally serving as a horse-drawn carriage stable and repair shop at the turn of the 20th century, it was later repurposed as a car repair shop (local legend has it that FDR used to have his car worked on here!), and in the early 2000s was finally painstakingly transformed into the one-of-a-kind 3BR residence that you see today. Tucked away in a quiet alley only one block from coveted Stanton Park, this residential conversion retained many original architectural features from its past life including the original exposed beams and rafters, exposed brick, and even the original hoist mechanism that was used to lift engines to the second story is now seamlessly integrated as an architectural statement piece. Beyond the original finishes, the home also features reclaimed materials handpicked from other sites around DC and Baltimore including beautiful doors from a DC church, decorative handrails, reclaimed cabinetry in the kitchen, and a cast-iron whale that once adorned an oven at a Baltimore seafood restaurant which now decorates the fireplace mantel. The previous owner who handled the renovation (and the re-zoning to allow for residential use) was an architect, so many of the fixtures throughout the home were carefully curated from his other construction projects over a span of 15 years. In addition to the historic materials used throughout the home, you?ll also get top-class modern amenities including heated floors, 4 skylights, artistic lighting fixtures, a gas fireplace, 2-zone air conditioning, energy-efficient windows, a built-in bench in the dining room, and an integrated sound system! On top of this, all furniture conveys with the sale! Downstairs, you?ll fall in love with the flexible open floor plan, towering ceilings, full-wall tile backsplash in the kitchen, full bath with a clawfoot tub, and a double story skylight opening up past the 2nd floor. The original hayloft upstairs has been transformed into a luxurious second-floor living space where you?re immediately greeted with the original hoist mechanism and a sitting area in the spacious landing with two skylights, complementing a master suite and 2 additional bedrooms, plus another full bathroom. The master features a huge changing area flanked by 3 large closets, tons of natural light from windows on both sides of the bedroom, and a large ensuite bathroom. In front of the home, you?ll find your 640+ square foot garden and patio area with parking for 2 cars?the patio area is actually a separate tax lot which is included in this sale! The entire secluded alleyway was also recently rebricked by the city, taking the curb appeal to a new level. This home offers a unique opportunity to own a fully-furnished one-of-a-kind residence in the middle of Capitol Hill, exuding historic and architectural pedigree, mere steps from the heart of the city, while tucked away in your own private enclave. We look forward to welcoming the next owner to this extraordinary property.
