The home was built in 1907, making it over 115 years old.

A thorough inspection is advisable for any property of this vintage.
Capitol South Metro, serving the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines, is within walking distance of D St SE. Union Station, a short distance away, provides Red Line service as well as Amtrak and MARC commuter rail connections, giving this address access to four Metro lines.
Parking details were not provided in the listing data for this home. Capitol Hill row houses of this era were built before the automobile era, so off-street parking varies by property. Buyers should confirm parking availability directly and review DC residential parking permit zones for the block.
