Capitol Hill Victorian With Beautiful Details

The coolest thing about this four-bedroom Capitol Hill row house is the detailed woodwork everywhere: the carvings above the door, antique-looking frames, inset carvings in the walls and intricate mantles throughout. The house has been renovated and has some modern amenities, like a steam shower and in-floor radiant heat in the kitchen. The basement is also finished and could be a rental unit or integrated into the rest of the house; regardless it may have the best living area in the home.

• Full listing: 415 Constitution Ave NE (map)
• Price: $1.1 million
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: Four
• Year Built: 1890
• Listing Agent: Gary Jankowski, Coldwell Banker
