728 MARYLAND AVE NE
Washington, DC 20002

Description:

Maryland Avenue NE was designated by city architect Pierre L’Enfant as one of the “grand” radial avenues that connected his intentional grid design of Washington, DC. Beginning at the U.S. Capitol, Maryland Avenue NE extends northeast, intersecting the city’s streets while creating space for ornamental parks. Built in 1900, 728 Maryland Ave NE is a rarely available Capitol Hill home that blends historic charm with thoughtful modern updates. From the street, you will notice the hallmark deep front yard that sets the property back from Maryland Avenue, a classic feature of the neighborhood. The lower level includes a bonus front entrance with a kitchenette and full bathroom, creating excellent potential for rental income or guest accommodations, and there is also a separate rear egress for added convenience. The main level features beautifully maintained hardwood floors and oversized windows that fill the home with natural light. There is space for both formal dining and a breakfast bar in the kitchen, creating a perfect flow for entertaining. The kitchen offers 42-inch cabinets, a pantry, stainless steel appliances, and an exposed 1900s brick accent wall. A half bath, recessed lighting, and plenty of storage complete the main level. A rear deck connects the kitchen to the fully fenced backyard and patio, and there is also a separate rear entrance to the lower level. The upper level offers two generous bedrooms along with a den at the top of the stairs that works well as a flexible landing space. A skylight brightens this level with natural light throughout the day. The primary bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom and two large windows, along with an original brick accent wall that brings historic character to the modern finishes. The home’s location offers a Bike Score of 98, thanks to the recent redesign of Maryland Avenue with reinforced crosswalks and bike lanes. This provides quick access to the Capitol and Union Station, as well as the H Street Corridor for dining, shopping, and nightlife. Metro, the DC Streetcar, Whole Foods, fitness options, dog parks, and neighborhood green spaces are all nearby. Welcome home to Capitol Hill living at its best.
