Welcome to 1242 K Street SE, a beautifully updated Federal rowhome offering timeless Capitol Hill character, modern design, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living. Behind its classic brick façade and front garden, this light-filled residence pairs historic architectural details with thoughtful contemporary updates in one of Washington, D.C.’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Inside, soaring ceilings, exposed brick, hardwood floors, and abundant natural light create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the main level. The gracious living room is anchored by a fireplace and flows seamlessly into the dining area and custom eat-in kitchen. The kitchen features generous cabinetry, ample prep space, and a spacious center island that serves as the heart of the home.

A striking floating industrial-style staircase leads upstairs to two generously proportioned bedrooms and a beautifully renovated full bath featuring custom tilework and a glass-enclosed shower. The sun-filled primary bedroom offers its own private deck, providing a peaceful outdoor retreat, while the second bedroom is framed by three oversized windows that bring in exceptional natural light. Recent improvements include fresh interior paint, an updated water heater, and new patio fencing, all in 2022.
