No one knows a house the way the people who live in it do.  This week, there’s a very special house on a very special block open for the first time this Sunday from  1 – 3.

908 12th St, NE, listed at $619k, is in the heart of the Atlas District and easy walking distance to all the hot H Street attractions.  It has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and a fabulously finished basememt.    The porch-front row home delivers: period wood details, exposed beams and brick, plus original floors, moldings, doors and hardware. On the main level lies a large living area and a spacious dining room. The open chef’s kitchen features maple cabinets, granite counters and stainless appliances. Take a sneak peek here !

But don’t take it from me, here’s what drew the current owners to this house:

“The proximity to H Street was a draw when we purchased this home.  In addition to the location, the home had all original hardwood floors, moldings and trim.  In fact, we are just the 4th owners of this home.  The original owner in 1916 sold the house to the mother of the daughter we bought it from.  The house had a lot of character and we saw also saw the potential for modern upgrades. Also rare for the city was a spacious backyard with off street parking.”

It’s a winner!  The rest of the Capitol Hill open houses are posted here.
