437 NEW JERSEY AVENUE SE

Just blocks from the U.S. Capitol, this stately Federal-style brick rowhome, circa 1890, offers an exceptional combination of architectural character, gracious proportions, and remarkable potential. From here, it is only a short stroll to the U.S. Capitol, the Supreme Court, Library of Congress, Eastern Market, Barracks Row, Metro, and all the wonderful restaurants, boutiques, parks, and neighborhood amenities that make Capitol Hill one of Washington's most treasured communities. With five bedrooms, three full and one half baths, soaring ceilings, multiple working fireplaces, and beautiful original hardwood floors, moldings, and millwork, the home retains the timeless elegance and craftsmanship of a bygone era. A lovely, wide front garden enclosed by wrought iron fencing creates a welcoming approach to this distinguished residence where inside, the entry vestibule and gracious entry hall set the tone for the home's impressive scale and charm. The main level features a generously proportioned front living room with a fireplace, an elegant separate dining room, and a spacious kitchen with cabinetry extending to the high ceilings. A conveniently located powder room and laundry area complete this level. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms and two full baths provide comfortable and versatile living spaces. The large primary bedroom features its own fireplace and an expansive bath, while the substantial middle bedroom boasts a working wood-burning fireplace, and the rear bedroom opens to a charming Juliet balcony. Adding exceptional flexibility is a permitted, daylight English basement apartment with private front and rear entrances. This fully equipped two-bedroom residence includes a full bath, kitchen, fireplace, private laundry, and separately metered electricity offering possibilities for rental income, extended family, or guests. A tenant is currently leasing the basement apartment with the lease extending to August 14, 2027. TOPA is in progress. The convenience of off-street parking for two cars, with easy access to both the main residence and lower level, is another highly desirable feature. While comfortable and livable in its present condition, this grand residence presents an extraordinary opportunity for a thoughtful renovation marrying the homes rich architectural heritage with the comforts and finishes of modern living - a truly special opportunity to preserve the past and create the next chapter of a Capitol Hill classic!
