Property Description
Description: 11' ceilings, original variable width hardwood floorboards, and repurposed joists & beams, add to the old-world feel of this expansive, yet private home. 217 5th is not your usual "cookie-cutter" clone renovation. The open LR/DR area has 2 fireplaces, exposed brick & original 1880s wood features. Refinished Joists compose the Breakfast Bar, framing a spacious stainless, stone, and wood Chef's Kitchen w/ yards of counters, and more than adequate cabinetry. A wet bar w/ fridge, a "stow-away" prep island, and extensive lighting provide the kitchen with an expansive setting for entertaining, cooking, and everyday dining. An in-law suite w/ new walk-in shower, twin basins and sitting room overlooks the pvt rear patio. Of course the home has CAC, radiator heat and tank-less Hot Water Heater. Two 'party animals', from a decades-old DC Boys & Girls Club Fundraiser, and reflecting a more temperate political atmosphere, adorn the front yard (and tree box!) will convey if desired.
History: Built in 1870 during the boom years after the civil war, the population of DC nearly doubled to 130,000 and again in 1900 to 270K. The city expanded with not only a growing, diverse population but new government buildings, expanding commercial endeavors and improved infrastructure. A plate on the
corner of Independence provides a date in the 1800s when it was laid. Several neighbors' homes date from a similar period and later, the architecture variable but beautiful. The Capitol Hill experience is addicting; former residents return again & again, stating freely “To HILL with the Suburbs!!”
