SUNDAY'S OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED. Welcome to 1616 D St SE -- a beautifully updated semi-detached rowhome in Hill East offering rare flexibility, charming details, and the everyday convenience buyers are searching for. This 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence lives surprisingly large, featuring a bonus first-level multi-purpose room and a fully finished walk-out basement.
The home blends warm historic character with thoughtful modern improvements. Hardwood floors, exposed brick, and curated tile work create a sense of warmth and authenticity throughout, while the layout easily adapts to today's lifestyle. The U-shaped kitchen offers generous counter space, excellent storage, and seamless flow into the main living areas. A large first-floor addition provides exceptional versatility and is ideal as a home office, guest bedroom, or bonus living space, complete with a half bath and direct access to the backyard.
The upper level features two spacious bedrooms and a striking black-and-white bath with a claw-foot tub. The south-facing bedroom includes large closets, a warm exposed brick wall, and a skylight, while the rear bedroom overlooks the backyard and offers a bright, generous layout.
The fully finished basement adds even more flexibility -- perfect as a family room, third bedroom, or private retreat -- and includes a one-of-a-kind steam shower, updated utilities, and a tankless water heater. The rear of the basement offers a large laundry room with utility sink, ample storage, and backyard access.
Outside, enjoy a private, shaded backyard with a raised deck, ideal for relaxing or al fresco dining. A semi-enclosed carport provides covered parking, along with a fully powered workshop/shed perfect for creative space, projects, or additional storage.
Ideally located in Capitol Hill's Hill East neighborhood, close to the new Commanders RFK Stadium site, Stadium-Armory and Potomac Avenue Metro stations, parks, dining, and neighborhood favorites -- including Safeway on 14th Street. This home delivers the best of Capitol Hill living: charm, smart updates, outdoor space, and parking -- all in one standout property.
