Capitol Hill SE Row House

A Capitol Hill Original, Rooted in 1908

The row house at 1510 E St SE stands as part of the architectural fabric that has defined Capitol Hill for more than a century. Built in 1908, the home reflects the measured scale and brick-fronted character that distinguishes this corner of SE Washington from newer residential development elsewhere in the city.

Inside, 1,276 square feet accommodates two bedrooms and one and a half baths in a layout that makes efficient use of the classic row house form. The proportions are honest to the era, offering the kind of spatial logic that rewards thoughtful furnishing and considered use of each room.

The block setting on E St SE places the home within easy reach of Eastern Market, the Capitol grounds, and the transit connections that make Capitol Hill one of DC’s most navigable neighborhoods. The Orange, Blue, and Silver lines at Eastern Market Metro are close at hand, as is the Stadium-Armory station on the same lines.

At $971,000, this is a direct entry into a neighborhood where original row houses of this vintage are a finite and sought-after commodity. The home’s 1908 provenance and intact streetscape presence make it a considered acquisition for anyone focused on Capitol Hill SE.

1908 Provenance
The home at 1510 E St SE was built in 1908, placing it among Capitol Hill’s original residential stock. The facade holds to the neighborhood’s early-twentieth-century streetscape, a continuity that distinguishes this block from more recently developed corridors in the quadrant.
Efficient Row House Form
The interior spans 1,276 square feet arranged across two bedrooms and one and a half baths. The row house form distributes space across multiple levels, a configuration that separates living areas from sleeping quarters in a way that open-plan layouts rarely achieve.
Capitol Hill Connectivity
Capitol Hill SE is served by multiple Metrorail stations on the Orange, Blue, and Silver lines. Eastern Market Metro is the closest, and the surrounding blocks offer grocery options, independent restaurants, and the Eastern Market hall itself — a neighborhood institution with a long-established presence.
A Finite Commodity
Row houses of this age and block position in Capitol Hill SE represent a limited supply. The neighborhood’s zoning and historic character constrain new construction, which means original homes like this one are not easily replaced. The $971,000 price reflects that scarcity directly.
