Some homes are bought. This one is inherited. Welcome to a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a residence inside the legendary Maples Manor House—the oldest home on Capitol Hill and the second-oldest surviving residence in Washington, D.C. Built in 1795, these walls have witnessed the birth of a nation. George Washington was a frequent visitor. Francis Scott Key called it home in 1815, just after penning The Star-Spangled Banner. History isn't displayed here—it lives here. Behind the secured stately Georgian fa��ade awaits an extraordinary two-level residence where centuries of character meet uncompromising modern luxury. More than 2,000 square feet of beautifully designed living space unfolds with rich wide-plank walnut hardwood floors, exposed brick, soaring ceilings, and an effortless flow that feels as timeless as the home itself. The chef's kitchen is built for those who believe every meal deserves an audience, featuring premium Viking appliances, generous workspace, and an open design that invites conversation long after dinner is served. Spa-inspired baths offer a private retreat, while three spacious bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths provide room to live, work, and entertain without compromise. Then there's something almost unheard of on Capitol Hill—direct access to a sprawling private courtyard. Morning coffee beneath mature trees. Dinner under the stars. Weekend gatherings that drift effortlessly from indoors to out. It's the kind of outdoor living most Capitol Hill homeowners only dream about. And because true luxury is often found in convenience, the home includes two full-sized parking spaces in a secure underground garage—a rarity that dramatically elevates everyday living. Step outside and discover why this neighborhood consistently ranks among the most coveted in Washington. Eastern Market. Barracks Row. Whole Foods. Trader Joe's. Metro. Acclaimed restaurants, neighborhood cafés, parks, and top-rated Brent and St. Peter's Elementary Schools are all just moments away. With an exceptional 98 Walk Score, your car may spend more time parked than driven. There are beautiful homes. There are historic homes. And then there are homes that become part of your story. This is one of them.
