A unique opportunity recently arose at 128 D Street SE—a stately stone townhome that calls the U.S. Capitol and Supreme Court neighbors. And a buyer swooped in and snatched it up in just 7 days. 

The property was recently brought to market by Leslie Backoff and Brent Jackson of TTR Sotheby's The Rob & Brent Group, an award-winning real estate team in the DC Metropolitan residential market.

In addition to offering four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms and multiple flexible spaces in the main house—including a lower-level short-term rental and a third-floor children’s suite or guest retreat—a detached carriage house is located across from the home’s beautifully hardscaped back patio. In total, the owner of this property will inherit three separate addresses.

The carriage house’s lofted upper level showcases original beams, exposed brick walls and a Juliet balcony overlooking the rear alley. Existing plumbing for a kitchen and bathroom presents substantial value-add potential for a rental unit or art studio. On the ground level, the carriage house garage comfortably accommodates an oversized vehicle while also providing additional storage space.

128 D Street SE was built in 1890 and is an architectural standout, even by Capitol Hill standards. It is one of the neighborhood’s Richardsonian Romanesque-style homes, characterized by an arched front doorway, solid masonry stonework, and a large bay window. Historic interior details that were preserved include hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, an original staircase and a pair of original solid wood, glass-inlaid doors.

This home is located just two blocks from the Capitol Building, the Library of Congress, the Supreme Court and the Folger Shakespeare Library. It is also only one block from the Capitol South Metro Station (on the Blue, Orange and Silver lines), and is moments from Eastern Market and restaurants on Pennsylvania Avenue and 8^th Street. It is also zoned for Brent Elementary School.
