122 3RD STREET SE

WASHINGTON, DC20003

**FIRST OPEN SAT 8/8 2-4 PM. Owning a home at 122 3rd St SE means more than just a new address in-bounds for Brent Elementary; it’s a rare chance to claim a piece of DC history on a storied block shared with the Library of Congress and the Folger Shakespeare Library. This Capitol Hill "Grand Dame" greets you with quintessential charm, from the deep green garden and wrought iron fencing to the intricate woodwork and tall bay windows topped with a delicate Juliet balcony. Step inside the formal foyer and you’re immediately struck by the soaring ceilings, original hardwood floors, and the kind of craftsmanship that simply isn't found in modern builds. The expansive double living room is a true centerpiece, featuring two wood-burning fireplaces, custom illuminated bookshelves, and a sun-drenched bay window perfect for watching Hill happenings. For those who love to host, the formal dining room - complete with a built-in buffet and plenty of natural light - offers ample space for large gatherings. Just beyond the swinging door, the kitchen is a functional gem with extensive storage and two large windows overlooking the rear patio. Out back is a private city sanctuary, framed by mature greenery, garden beds, and classic lattice fencing. It’s an ideal spot for al fresco dining or a quiet morning coffee. Notably, the wide rear alley provides a fantastic opportunity to create private off-street parking, a highly coveted feature that neighbors have successfully added. The upper level is thoughtfully laid out, featuring two bright rooms at the rear - currently configured as a walk-through den and bedroom - that offer the flexibility to be reimagined into two distinct bedrooms. These are served by a full hall bath with tub. At the front of the home, the primary suite is a truly luxurious retreat. The spacious bedroom boasts a wall of built-in bookcases and French doors opening to a charming balcony. A walk-through dressing room leads to the sunlit primary bath, complete with a soaking tub and linen storage. From the historic architectural details to the incredible potential for customization and parking, this home is a standout opportunity to live amidst the very best of Capitol Hill.
