To quote Bruce Springsteen: "Closets are for hangers, winners use the door. So use it Rosie, that's what it's there for." And what a door it is-arched, beautiful, and the perfect cue to what lies beyond. Built in 1917 during Capitol Hill's architectural golden age, 427 10th St. NE boasts striking late-Victorian and Edwardian aesthetics. High ceilings and large, stately windows let loads of light in to highlight the house's original moldings. It's almost ethereal. It is the perfect light to curl up on the sofa with a book and soak in the sun. When it's time for a cup of tea, walk across newly installed hardwood floors and through a series of not one, but two tall, elegant arches. The renovated kitchen offers plenty of counter space and brand-new appliances, with a window looking out onto a beautifully pathed garden space just right for entertaining or relaxing. Ready to head upstairs? Take the grand staircase, featuring clever bonus storage underneath. Given that homes in this area were built by the same craftsmen who worked on the U.S. Capitol, that creative storage is definitely a master's handiwork. At the top of the stairs, a skylight bathes the hall in natural light, leading to a very generous primary bedroom and two additional bedrooms. A house like this always attracts guests. Luckily, there is a full, completely renovated, and separately metered English basement-perfect for visitors or as an income-producing rental. Ready to head outside? The neighborhood is just as enchanting as the house. When you finally decide to leave that sun-drenched sofa, you're perfectly positioned to experience the very best of Capitol Hill. Stroll over to the historic NE Library to pick up your next great read, then wander down to Lincoln Park to enjoy it under the trees. You might need a little treat. For this, you'll swing by Wine & Butter for a Parisian-style coffee and a fresh croissant. Weekend plans are effortlessly sorted with the stalls of Eastern Market and the beloved, community-saved Mott's Market just a short walk away. And on those nights when your newly renovated kitchen is just too pristine to mess up? The neighborhood's favorite Mexican restaurant and NYT's top 25 DC restaurants Pascual.
