319 C Street Se Washington, DC 20003

Now offered at a newly reduced price, 319 C Street SE presents a fresh opportunity to own something special on Capitol Hill: nearly 3,000 square feet of finished living space, a beautifully renovated English basement, a private garden, and memorable views in one of Washington’s most iconic neighborhoods.Set along a classic Capitol Hill block, this handsome Federal residence has the character and presence of a historic home, paired with the space, thoughtful updates, and flexibility that make it exceptionally livable today.The primary residence unfolds across more than 2,300 square feet and three generous levels. A traditional foyer introduces gracious living and dining rooms, where an original marble fireplace and mantel provide a beautiful reminder of the home’s history. Beyond, the updated kitchen features granite countertops with breakfast bar seating, KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, a gas range, solid oak cabinetry, abundant storage, and windows looking out to the garden. A beautifully finished full bath with tiled shower and Kohler fixtures completes the main level.The second floor offers two spacious bedrooms, a sunroom, and a full bath, while the entire top floor becomes a wonderfully private primary retreat. Two large rooms, each generous enough for a king-sized bed, provide tremendous flexibility, while an additional sunroom makes an inviting office, reading room, or quiet escape. Multiple closets and a large bath with a deep soaking tub, multiple Moen showerheads, and handheld sprayer complete the suite.And then there are the views. From the upper level, the Library of Congress is part of the year-round backdrop, while winter brings seasonal views toward the U.S. Capitol as the trees open. It is a perspective that feels distinctly Washington and uniquely Capitol Hill.The garden-level English basement adds nearly 600 square feet of beautifully renovated space, with both an independent entrance and interior connection to the main residence. Complete with its own kitchen, full bath with heated tile floors, laundry, and direct access to the rear patio and garden, it creates exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, an au pair, a private workspace, or potential rental income.Step outside and the city seems to fall away. The private rear garden is framed by mature landscaping and brick hardscaping, with timed irrigation and a covered patio with ceiling fan creating an inviting setting for long dinners, weekend entertaining, gardening, or a quiet morning coffee.Important improvements have already been made behind the scenes as well, including a four-year-old multi-zone HVAC system and dual tankless water heaters.Just beyond the front door is the Capitol Hill lifestyle that makes this neighborhood so enduring. Eastern Market, Barracks Row, Capitol South Metro, Pennsylvania Avenue, Lincoln Park, the Library of Congress, and the U.S. Capitol are all close at hand. Morning coffee, neighborhood restaurants, independent shops, parks, Metro, and some of Washington’s most recognizable landmarks become part of everyday life.With its newly reduced price, remarkable scale, flexible English basement, private garden, historic character, and an unmistakably Capitol Hill setting, 319 C Street SE deserves to be seen with fresh eyes.
