158 12th Street Se, Washington, DC, 2003

Set on one of Capitol Hill’s prettiest, tree-lined streets just one block from Lincoln Park, 158 12th Street SE is a gracious Victorian-era home that perfectly balances historic character with thoughtful modern updates. Spanning three beautifully proportioned levels, this four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence offers approximately 2,388 square feet of versatile living space. The main level welcomes you with a generous living room, wide bay window and classic architectural details, flowing into a central hallway, spacious dining area and open kitchen with abundant storage. From the kitchen, step directly onto the screened porch—a wonderful extension of the living space and a rare Capitol Hill find—before continuing out to the large private patio. Upstairs, three well-sized bedrooms include a charming rear bedroom with its own private balcony, while a renovated hall bath serves the floor. The lower level is exceptionally versatile, with a bright English-basement feel, front and rear entrances, a fourth bedroom, full bath, generous living area and a dedicated laundry room with excellent storage. Outside, the home has wonderful curb appeal, with established perennial plantings and a welcoming front façade that feels quintessentially Capitol Hill. The location is hard to beat. Lincoln Park is practically at your doorstep, while Eastern Market Metro, Trader Joe’s, Barracks Row and neighborhood shops and restaurants are all within about a 12 min walk. The U. S. Capitol is also comfortably walkable, making this an ideal home for those who want the character and community of Capitol Hill with exceptional access to the city.
