Historic Capitol Hill home near restaurants, shops, public transit, and parks!

Welcome to "Your Capitol Hill Homestead"!
The Homestead is perfect for out-of-town family visits, sightseeing, or a space for those temporarily working in the city. The home has lots of light, spacious rooms, and comfort not found in many stays. Some amenities include a gourmet equipped kitchen, a fenced-in backyard, and permit-free parking. Located near restaurants, shops, public transportation, and parks. We are tucked in the center of a quiet block in the Historic Capitol Hill neighborhood.

The Property:
This house is a two-bedroom and 2.5-bath home with an open floor plan on the main level. You enter the home from the street up 9 stairs to the front porch and main level. The main level has an entryway, dining room, living room, kitchen, and half bath. With the two bedrooms and two full bathrooms upstairs, and an air mattress available, 11 stairs up. Outside is a backyard and porch, 5 stairs down to the yard.

While there are a ton of amazing dining options within walking distance if you prefer to do it yourself, walk to the nearby Eastern Market farmer's market on Saturdays and Sundays. Groceries nearby are Safeway, Trader Joe's, and Yes! Organic Market to make use of the fully stocked kitchen. The kitchen includes a full-size refrigerator, toaster, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, dishwasher, in-sink garbage disposal, oven, and 5-burner range. Kitchenware includes pots, pans, silverware, plates, cups, and glassware. As well as, other household appliances such as a crockpot, air fryer, waffle maker, and blender.

Please note: While this house has gone through extensive renovations, our home was built in 1910. Some characteristics are authentic to the home and hold the charm of living in an older space.

Guest Access:
Permit-free street parking is plentiful in front of the apartment on the right side of the street. For long-term guests, neighborhood-zoned guest parking passes are available. Most guests who drive here park their car and forget about it for the duration of their stay as the area is accessible via walking, bike share, ride share, or public transportation. Generally, these are more convenient and worry-free ways to get around town. We are just 4 blocks from the Stadium-Armory metro station. And within a 20-minute walk to the Potomac Metro Station, the Eastern Market Metro Station, and Union Station. Within a 1.5-mile walk, you can also reach Marine Barracks/Barracks Row, US Capitol, Supreme Court, Library of Congress, Lincoln Park, H Street Corridor, and many great dining and grocery locations. Also, our home is along the blue metro line with access to Reagan National Airport and the silver metro line with access to Dulles International Airport. There are capital bike-share racks on both ends of our block. As well as easy bus access to multiple bus lines.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.

Beautifully restored home in a great, quiet neighborhood! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was huge, the living room was a great place to hang out and chat. The neighborhood is very walkable and a Capital Bikeshare docking station is right across the street. We flew into IAD and took the metro into the city. (Through a combo of the metro, ebikes, walking, and the occasional Uber, we were able to get everywhere without a car.) Our time in DC was fantastic and this house really made it extra comfortable! We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect setting for DC visit with friends

Not only was the house everything we expected but quite a bit more. It had all of the amenities that allowed us to live so very comfortably as if we were at home. We were able to get up and make breakfasts etc. We were able to lay around and watch TV or have a dinner in the dining room. It was absolutely perfect. Everything is very clean and organized. Honestly, we didn’t want to leave, but of course we had to. We definitely hope it will be available next time we come into town.

PURE PERFECTION!

My husband, my sister in law, brother in law and I were 100% happy with this VRBO. The communication was quick and easy. The home was not only clean, it was cozy and comfortable. There were various “extras” like K-cups, poopourri, and hand lotion. We saw everything we needed, but IF we were to return to the area we 100% would rebook this home.

Wonderful DC visit

We had a wonderful stay in this Capital Hill home. A perfect location, easily accessible by the Metro. The home is beautiful and very well appointed with comfy furnishings and a nicely stocked kitchen (we will forever have kitchen envy especially about the special spice cabinet). Communication with Grace was easy and gracious, a terrific host. Best restaurant in the area is Pacci - yummy large portions with plenty for leftovers the next day. You won’t go wrong with your stay in this home/location while visiting DC.

Washington, DC Total Comfort

Just finished a 3-day weekend in DC (family of 3) and couldn't have been happier, more comfortable, or better situated than in this updated and well-appointed historic Capitol neighborhood home. Everything is just as it is presented in the listing -- except the communications with the owner Grace were beyond anything I could have ever expected. Our trip was plagued with schedule and itinerary changes and Grace was more accommodating with each version I presented -- handled everything "Grace-fully!" Uber was our transport of choice -- never had to wait more than a few minutes for pickup -- and everywhere we wanted to go was easily within 5 - 7 minute rides. And the proximity to the Capitol and the Mall from such a quiet and friendly neighborhood was a bonus.The house is beautiful and quiet -- very comfortable open floor plan, welcoming family room with comfortable furniture, very well-equipped kitchen, incredibly comfortable beds and bathrooms. All contributed to a restful getaway once we returned from our "tourist" visits.Book it!RickColorado

What a find!!!*****

This place was perfect in all ways. The neighborhood is a safe, family-oriented area with lots of trees and well-kept gardens. The home was impeccable and had everything we needed. Being there for only a weekend, we could not take full advantage of all the home had to offer. We could have staged a Thanksgiving dinner there. The AC worked well - something we really care about. The front room was a bit bright in the mornings, so bring eye-shades. The master was dark and cozy in the mornings - have not slept so well in months. I wish we had more time to spend in this home. Next time we will be sure to make dinner there instead of planning to go out. We will rebook this place at least 2x per year when we visit our daughter. No point looking elsewhere. Also, the communication with the owner was great. She was super accommodating. Altogether an awesome experience! (Oh, and the shower pressure was epic!)

Perfect Location/ Wonderful House

I’m originally from the DC area. My husband and I stayed to visit friends, catch a performance at the Kennedy Center, hike and bike. The house is conveniently located near the Metro, and within walking distance of Trader Joes and several fantastic shops. (We strolled to Wine & Butter twice.) The kitchen was well stocked with spices and cookware (including a French press for coffee). For cyclists- the house is only a short drive to the entrance and parking area for the C&O canal path. We did a fun 50 mile ride (we have gravel bikes, but there’s a paved trail too). Great place for long runs, too. Moderate drive up to Harpers Ferry for several hiking options. We did the Stone Fort hike, and the views were amazing. On our theater night, we walked to the Metro and took the free Kennedy Center shuttle from the GWU Metro station. Easy and extremely convenient. We walked from the house to visit the mall and museums. Might be a bit long for kids, but there are several convenient Metro stops. We had no issues with parking, and the neighborhood is quiet with a nearby park. Communication with the host was really easy. No problem accessing the rental. The house was very clean, and the kitchen was perfect for meals. Really enjoyed our stay.

Best VRBO ever!

family and I stayed at Grace’s property for a week and were so very impressed. I book VRBO properties all the time, and I have never, ever, stayed in a more well-appointed home than this one. Every single thing you could want in a home away from home, was present: from hand soap to dish washing detergent, toilet paper to q-tips, spices to Tupperware and foil, etc. It was so nice to want for NOTHING. Which was wonderful, since we didn’t have a rental car to go and get what we may have missed. Also, Grace was more than helpful with directions, accommodations, and recommendations. Overall, this place was historic, updated, well-appointed, and very well-loved. Would highly recommend!

Cute, clean property and amazing host!

My husband and I traveled with our twin teenage daughters and my in-laws. This property was absolutely perfect for our family and we had a wonderful visit to the DC area! This property is in a quiet neighborhood and is very spacious. Host has added many small touches to this place to make you feel like you are at home. The coffee pods were certainly appreciated. :) Rooms are a great size. My daughters slept on provided air mattress and it was comfy. Upstairs rooms are designed for privacy from each other as well. We had originally thought we would use the charcoal grill several nights, but instead opted for indoor cooking. The kitchen was supplied with everything we needed for cooking meals throughout the week. We even used the instant pot and air fryer one night. We loved the large dining room table for meals and for playing card games in the evening after a long day. Grace, the host was really awesome to work with. She even accommodated our request to drop our luggage early the day of check-in, which was super helpful. We were able to have the entire afternoon of our first day for a museum visit and exploring of some National Mall monuments. We had a busy schedule planned for the week, and we were thankful we were able to visit so many places. We used the metro for transportation all week and the short 3 block walk to the Stadium metro station was great. All in all, fabulous trip and couldn’t have asked for a better stay. I would highly recommend!

Fantastic Stay in DC

Grace's place is beautiful, in a quiet neighborhood, and is wonderfully appointed for any length of stay. There was plenty of space for my wife and I, my two young children, and my in-laws. Not only was the row house capacious within, it was impeccably clean and updated. The nearest metro station is Stadium Armory (short walk) and that will get you to all the major touristy sites in 15-20 minutes. Parking on the street near the house was a breeze. I would definitely rent this place again!
