117 18th Ave E is an exceptional example of the classic Capitol Hill foursquare, dating from 1905, and carefully restored and maintained with an eye toward preserving original materials and architectural details. It represents the best of both worlds – gracious historic living in a vibrant, architecturally diverse community with tremendous proximity to amenities and great transit access. A delicate patina of history is present at every turn, lending a sense of authenticity and permanence to each room. The first floor comprises an expansive foyer, stately formal living and dining rooms, a butler’s pantry with powder room, and a gourmet kitchen. A grand corner staircase leads upstairs, where four bedrooms, served by three baths surround a spacious central landing. An additional staircase leads up to the top floor suite, an airy, open-plan room with vaulted ceilings and skylights over the stair and bath. Finally, a recently completed and crisply designed basement renovation gives this exquisite residence great flexibility for multi-generational families or additional rental income. With ample interior space and a minimal overall footprint, 117 18th Ave E is that rare home that combines the grace and grandeur of a bygone era with the turn-key convenience and low property maintenance found in a modern home. This is the ideal residence for the committed urban dweller who seeks to claim a piece of history in an ever-flourishing neighborhood.
