**1ST OPEN SUNDAY 9/20 2-4PM** Nestled on a quiet block equidistant to both Eastern Market & Library of Congress/The Supreme Court, this circa-1900, lovely semi-detached bayfront Victorian blends expected timeless Hill elegance with modern upgrades. With over 2,200SF across three levels and affording light from three exposures, 23 5th Street provides a warm and inviting atmosphere: rich oak & heart of pine floors, crown moldings off high ceilings, and solid (read: soundproof!) plaster walls reflecting the home's original era. The front-facing living & central dining rooms both offer daily living or entertaining space that is cozy without being tiny like many other Hill homes. Natural light from its southern exposure windows pours into the interior of both the main & bedroom levels, something attached rowhomes can't offer. The classic black & white kitchen's stainless appliances and granite counters provide function & form, and the rear-facing family room has another original fireplace with exposed brick wall, mantle and surround with built-ins. Upstairs, the primary suite has enough room for a sitting area as well as a luxurious, sky-lit ensuite bath with penny tile floor, while the 2nd bedroom has exposed brick wall (additional office or Peloton space off hall is an added bonus), and benefits from the full hall, renovated bath. The basement with its full-size W/D & access to utilities provides additional space for storage or future creative expansion/endeavors. Outside, enjoy a walled brick patio (southern exposure) ideally off the kitchen making it perfect for coffee or dinner. Steps to the restaurants & conveniences of Pennsylvania Ave & Eastern Market, as well as Metro and more, 23 5th Street SE offers centrally-located and turn-key Hill living at a value that can not be beat.
