725 5th St SE, Unit 3 — Capitol Hill, Washington DC

Historic Row House Residence in the Heart of Capitol Hill

The residence at 725 5th St SE, Unit 3 occupies a converted row house dating to 1897, placing it among the most architecturally grounded addresses in Capitol Hill SE. At 1,089 square feet across two bedrooms and two full baths, the floor plan offers a comfortable scale without sacrificing the period detail that draws buyers to this corridor.

Ownership here is supported by a comprehensive HOA structure covering water, sewer, trash, snow removal, lawn care, exterior building maintenance, custodial services, and reserve fund contributions. That breadth of coverage simplifies the cost-of-ownership calculus and reduces the day-to-day management burden on the owner.

Capitol Hill’s 5th Street SE sits within walking distance of Eastern Market, the neighborhood’s anchor for weekend farmers markets, local dining, and everyday retail. The Eastern Market Metro station provides direct access to the broader DC transit network, connecting this address to downtown, the Hill, and beyond.

Priced at $669,000, the residence represents a considered entry into one of DC’s most established and historically intact residential neighborhoods, with the structural credibility of a building that has stood for more than a century.

1897 Architecture
The building’s 1897 construction places it among Capitol Hill’s original residential fabric. Row house conversions of this era typically retain high ceilings, thick masonry walls, and period proportions that newer construction cannot replicate. Unit 3 benefits from that structural legacy while functioning as a modern two-bedroom residence.
HOA Coverage
The HOA covers an unusually broad range of expenses, including water, sewer, trash, snow removal, lawn maintenance, exterior building upkeep, custodial services, and reserve fund contributions. For a buyer weighing total monthly cost, this coverage meaningfully reduces variable ownership expenses beyond the mortgage.
Capitol Hill Access
Eastern Market Metro is close to the property, connecting residents to the Orange, Blue, and Silver lines. The surrounding blocks on 5th Street SE offer walkable access to the Eastern Market hall, neighborhood restaurants, and local retail — the daily infrastructure that makes Capitol Hill one of DC’s most livable urban neighborhoods.
Ownership Value
At $669,000, this residence sits at a competitive price point for a two-bedroom, two-bath unit with historic provenance in Capitol Hill SE. The combination of square footage, HOA-included utilities, and location within the Eastern Market catchment area makes this a well-positioned offering in the current market.
