This Week’s Find: Quaint on the Hill

This Week's Find: Quaint on the Hill: Figure 1
1213 E Street SE

Longtime UrbanTurf readers might recall the one-room home on Capitol Hill that went on the market a few years ago. From the outside, This Week’s Find looks a lot like that property, but looks can be deceiving.

Despite its diminutive exterior, the one-level home on E Street SE has two bedrooms and an open living and kitchen space that fit into 836 square feet. The current owners bought the 1915-built home in 2009, and renovated the front half in 2011 and the rear of the property in 2013. They are selling because they are being relocated for work.

The two-part renovation included installation of some energy-efficient features including a tankless water heater and solar panels. One of UrbanTurf’s favorite features is the deep rear patio that can be accessed through double doors on the back of the house.

While the home itself may be on the small side, interest from buyers is not: the listing agent says that they are expecting at least seven offers by the Tuesday deadline.
