This 1922 Capitol Hill home has been completely transformed with modern amenities, sustainable features, and classic aesthetics, creating a beautiful and functional living space.
Located on a street of historic homes in Capitol Hill, this 1,850 SF home built in 1922 has undergone a complete transformation. The interior finishes blend classic aesthetics with enduring durability, while the main level’s newly revised open floor plan offers modern conveniences. Key upgrades include a new powder room, redesigned stairs for a gracious transition to the dining area, and a revamped entry with coat storage. The dining room and living room locations were switched to provide better flow and furniture placement. Upstairs, one large bedroom was cleverly converted into two, and the bathrooms received a modern makeover. The basement now features a remodeled laundry room and ample storage space. The renovation was not just skin deep; it included a full replacement of mechanical systems, introducing both radiant heating and forced air conditioning. A commitment to sustainability is showcased with the addition of a large solar array and Tesla Powerwall batteries. The exterior shines brightly with a cheerful new color, completing this comprehensive renovation.
