Description

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.
