Historic Bones, Modern Flow on Capitol Hill

This Capitol Hill row house marries the neighborhood's historic charm with a full modern reinvention, pairing exposed brick and original joists with wide-plank floors and an airy, open layout. The main level flows from living and dining space into a sleek kitchen with ample counter space, while three bedrooms upstairs include a primary with painted brick and treetop views. The standout, though, is the deep, densely planted rear garden — a private, Japanese-maple-filled retreat that leads back to secure off-street parking.

• Price: $930,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: 1.5

A Brookland Victorian with a Footbridge, Beer Taps, and Room to Grow

This four-bedroom, three-bath Victorian sits across from Fort Bunker Hill and greets visitors with an unusual touch — a footbridge leading to a wraparound covered porch. Inside, dark wood floors and original trim frame a home brightened by playful pops of color throughout, while the main-level kitchen stands out with dual ovens, a wine fridge, and built-in beer taps. The primary suite occupies the back of the main level, and three more bedrooms share a full bath upstairs, with an unfinished attic offering room to expand. Out back, the fenced yard turns into a multi-use retreat — garden plots, a wide lawn for catching sun, and a gravel patio ready for furniture — all just a walk from Brookland's restaurants, shops, and Metro.

• Full Listing: 1351 Otis Street NE (map) 
• Price: $1.3 million 
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: Three
• Year Built: 1910
• Listing Agents: Jacob Abbott, Shemaya Klar, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices PenFed Realty
