801 Massachusetts Avenue NE

For nearly twenty years, one family has loved and cared for this circa 1890 Victorian on a coveted corner overlooking the Stanton Park pocket of historic Capitol Hill and that care is visible the moment you arrive. Freshly painted inside and out, the home pairs the character you can't reproduce soaring ceilings, graceful bay windows, and period craftsmanship from an era of true builders with the comfort of a home that's been meticulously maintained and is ready to simply move into. Bathed in natural light from its corner setting, the house lives the way Capitol Hill is meant to: airy rooms, generous proportions, and a fenced outdoor space rare for the owner's use. Steps from your door are Stanton Park, Eastern Market, Barracks Row, and the H Street corridor, with Union Station and three Metro lines putting the Capitol, the Library of Congress, and the entire city within an easy walk. Homes of this vintage and character, in a corner setting like this, rarely come to market inside the district — and when they do, they don't stay long. Owning here is something more than a purchase. Inside the Capitol Hill Historic District, homes like this are finite and irreplaceable — protected by the very designation that has preserved the neighborhood's beauty and value for half a century. Cherished and thoughtfully maintained for two decades, the home carries a pride of ownership that shows in every room. This is a rare chance to own a genuine piece of Washington's history, on one of its most storied streets. Come experience it in person — and imagine writing the next chapter.
