1219 Linden Place NE

Classic Capitol Hill character, remarkable original architectural details, sunlit bedrooms, a finished lower level, and a location that puts the best of Northeast D.C. close by. Set just off H Street NE, this classic 2-bedroom, 2-bath rowhome offers a distinctive connection to D.C. history. A historic plaque, which is to remain affixed to the home, recognizes the notable historical figure who originally resided here. That history continues throughout the property in an impressive collection of preserved original features. From the street, original iron steps lead to a striking double-door entrance. An arched stained-glass transom sits above the glass-enclosed exterior door with its wood surround. Beyond it, a mahogany interior door and fixed transom continue the home's period character. The vestibule between the doors is finished with wood wainscoting and small-pattern ceramic tile. Inside, original white pine hardwood flooring extends throughout all three levels, and the home features four fireplaces. The main level showcases 9-foot ceilings, an arched entryway, chair railing, crown molding, and beautifully preserved architectural details. The entry features an original gas-burning fireplace with green, square, and brown mosaic tile inlay and a wood mantel. The living room offers another wood-burning fireplace with its original mantel, a built-in window seat framed by four tall windows, and a decorative ceiling medallion. Two solid-wood, five-panel, 8-foot doors with brass plates and handles create a memorable transition into the kitchen. Here, exposed brick adds warmth and character alongside a closed-off brick fireplace. Two approximately 77-inch windows bring abundant natural light into the space, while French doors provide another charming architectural touch. The kitchen provides generous workspace and storage along with a recently installed garbage disposal. Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms and a full bath with a clawfoot tub. The spacious primary bedroom benefits from multiple windows and abundant natural light. The finished lower level includes another full bath, outdoor egress, and flexible finished living space suitable for guests, a home office, recreation space, or other needs. Copper plumbing and a water filtration system add practical value and convenience. The home offers a wonderful opportunity to thoughtfully personalize and enhance the space while preserving the original architectural details and historic character that make it truly distinctive. Out back, a fenced yard and patio provide private outdoor space in the middle of the city. The location is another major highlight. Just off H Street NE near the H Street & 13th Street transit stop, the home places restaurants, nightlife, shops, and services along the H Street Corridor close by. Union Market, NoMa, Gallaudet University, Capitol Hill, and Union Station are also nearby, while Maryland Avenue, Benning Road, New York Avenue, and I-395 provide convenient connections throughout D.C. and beyond. A rare opportunity to own a home where original craftsmanship, documented history, and an H Street location come together. Schedule your showing today.
