Set on one of Capitol Hill's largest lots, the home welcomes you with a grand motorcade entrance, complete with surface parking for five cars and a three-car garage. From the beautifully landscaped courtyard, step into a piece of history with this extraordinary pre-1840 residence. Once serving as a Civil War building and later as the home of a Washington mayor, this remarkable property has been meticulously restored to preserve its historic significance while seamlessly incorporating modern luxury.
With roots dating back nearly two centuries, this home has borne witness to countless chapters of Washington's history. The result is a harmonious blend of architectural integrity, timeless charm, and modern functionality.
Every detail of this residence tells a story. The living room exudes elegance and warmth, with multiple sets of French doors that open to the courtyard, creating an inviting atmosphere. The chef's kitchen caters to culinary enthusiasts, blending practicality with elegance. It features expansive living space that combines an eat-in kitchen and sitting area, along with high-end appliances that perfectly complement its historic surroundings. The dining room, designed for seamless entertaining, speaks to the home's enduring legacy.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a serene retreat, complete with solid heart-of-pine floors, a spacious dressing room, and a spa-like bath. Also on this level is another generously sized bedroom with large closets and abundant natural light. A second full bath features a spa-like design with a glass-enclosed shower and elegant finishes. The expanded library retains its historic charm, showcasing original bookcases and a wood-burning fireplace, making it the perfect space for reflection or study.
The top floor boasts two large bedrooms with spectacular views of the Capitol Dome and a luxurious Jack-and-Jill bath. These versatile spaces are ideal for a guest suite, office, or gym. Additionally, the unfinished basement presents opportunities for personalized customization or extra storage.
The expansive lot includes a professionally landscaped courtyard that transforms the space into a veritable Garden of Eden. The site of countless garden parties, fundraising events, and family dinners, this unrivaled outdoor space is truly an entertainer's dream. The property has hosted events for over 200 guests, with every corner reflecting careful attention to detail that honors its storied past while embracing modern living.
The detached garage features three bays and abundant storage for bikes and garden tools. A private driveway with a security gate accommodates an additional four cars. Thoughtfully renovated over the years and impeccably maintained by its current owner, 700 6th Street is an architectural masterpiece awaiting the next chapter in its storied history.
Situated in the heart of Capitol Hill, just six blocks from the United States Capitol, this home offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. With easy access to the Library of Congress, cultural landmarks, vibrant dining, Whole Foods, multiple gyms, and a short commute to DCA or Nats Park, the location is as desirable as the property itself.
