Property Description
Step into history at 700 6th Street SE, a Capitol Hill legacy home like no other—offered for the first time in nearly four decades. Set on one of Capitol Hill's largest lots, this extraordinary pre-1840 residence combines rich historical provenance with refined modern living.
Once a Civil War-era structure and later the home of a Washington mayor, the property has been meticulously restored to preserve its architectural integrity while incorporating today's comforts. A gated motor court with parking for several cars and a three-car garage sets the tone for the scale and rarity found throughout.
Inside, the home is filled with timeless details: solid heart-of-pine floors, original fireplaces, and elegant French doors that open to a professionally landscaped courtyard. The chef's kitchen features high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and a casual dining area ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The formal dining room and sunlit living spaces speak to the home's legacy of elegance.
Upstairs, five generously sized bedrooms include a peaceful primary suite with a spa-like bath and dressing room. The top floor offers sweeping views of the Capitol Dome, with flexible space perfect for guests, a home office, or gym.
Outdoors, a professionally landscaped courtyard has set the stage for decades of garden parties and private gatherings, accommodating over 200 guests with elegance and ease. The detached garage offers three bays and generous storage, while the gated drive allows parking for up to four additional vehicles. Thoughtfully renovated over the years and impeccably maintained by its current owner, 700 6th Street is an architectural masterpiece awaiting the next chapter in its storied history.
Located just six blocks from the Capitol and moments from Eastern Market, the Library of Congress, Whole Foods, and dining along Barracks Row—this is a rare opportunity to own one of Capitol Hill's most distinguished homes.
