A Capitol Hill Row House With a Century of Character

The home at 1209 Linden Place NE stands as a well-preserved example of the early-twentieth-century row house typology that defines Capitol Hill’s residential fabric. Built in 1920, it offers 1,800 square feet across two bedrooms and two full baths — a layout that balances generous room proportions with the intimacy characteristic of the form.

Linden Place is a quiet residential street in the Capitol Hill NE corridor, a few blocks from Lincoln Park and within easy reach of the neighborhood’s established dining, retail, and transit infrastructure. The block retains the cohesive architectural scale that makes this part of NE DC among the most sought-after in the city.

At $915,000, the home is priced in line with the active resale market for Capitol Hill row houses of comparable vintage and size. Buyers drawn to historic fabric, walkable urbanism, and proximity to the Hill will find this address worth serious consideration.
