Some homes are memorable because of their architecture, others because of how they live. This North Capitol Hill Craftsman offers both. Built in 1907 and thoughtfully renovated, it pairs original box-beam ceilings, leaded glass, pocket doors, and rich millwork with a remodeled kitchen, high-end Fisher & Paykel appliances, renovated bathrooms, and an easy, modern flow. Gracious living and dining rooms feel elegant but never formal, with a built-in dining bench and wood-burning fireplace made for stormy nights. Counter seating keeps the kitchen connected to the conversation, while French doors from both the kitchen and dining rooms open to a private clear pine deck and a fully fenced, professionally landscaped backyard. Dine under the lights, gather around the wood-burning fire pit, or unwind in the hot tub amid mature plantings, permanent landscape lighting, and decorative string lights. Upstairs, all three bedrooms have walk-in closets and share a beautifully renovated bathroom. The fully finished lower level adds a conforming fourth bedroom, second bathroom, media room, and laundry closet. A detached two-car garage with alley access completes the property, with additional space alongside for a third vehicle - or even a chicken coop. Directly across from Stevens Elementary and moments from Volunteer Park Café, Volunteer Park and Interlaken, this is a home designed for connection, comfort and every season.
