In Washington, D.C.’s Capitol Hill Historic District, where brick rowhouses and tree-lined streets define the neighborhood, 801 Massachusetts Avenue NE offers a distinctive interpretation of historic city living. Priced at $1,400,000, the circa-1890 Victorian occupies a prominent corner setting and immediately stands apart with its turreted roofline, Juliet balconies and arched windows.
More than 20 windows across three levels bring natural light into the residence from three exposures, a rare advantage among Capitol Hill’s predominantly mid-block rowhouses. Bay windows, period craftsmanship and a slate-roofed turret preserve the architectural character of the home’s era, while fenced front and side gardens create a sense of separation from the surrounding city.
Inside, the approximately 2,486-square-foot residence balances historic detail with modern comfort. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms are complemented by soaring ceilings, hardwood floors and a fireplace. The updated kitchen includes a breakfast nook, while a finished lower level provides flexible space for guests, work or recreation. Eastern Market, Barracks Row, H Street and Union Station are all within easy reach.
Owned and carefully maintained by the same family since 2006, the residence is now being offered for the first time in 20 years. Fresh paint inside and out gives the home a move-in-ready quality, while its original architectural elements remain central to its identity. At 801 Massachusetts Avenue NE, luxury is expressed through architecture, natural light and a lasting sense of place.
