318 7th St NE

Formerly a carriage house, then an auto body shop, and now a lovely 3 bedroom. Tall ceilings, concrete heated floors, exposed beams highlight the charming downstairs. Fully furnished. Includes all utilities. Can be rented short term. Local legend has it that Franklin Delano Roosevelt had his car worked on here back when it was an auto body shop. Who knows? Maybe? Before that it was a carriage house, with an open first floor for housing horses, and hay and equipment upstairs. The original hoist mechanism for hoisting engine parts from one floor to another remains as an architectural feature upstairs. Reclaimed kitchen cabinets and doorways. Huge master bedroom. The two remaining bedrooms are smaller but charming. Parking for two medium size vehicles directly in front. Open floorplan downstairs. Heated concrete floors on the first floor. A full bath with small clawfoot tub is on the first floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths. The master bedroom is huge, with four large closets. Outside the landscape bricked area is either for outdoor dining / use (complete with gas grill), or parking. The entire alleyway was just rebricked by the city. It's a dead end alley, so it's a fantastic place to walks dogs first thing in the morning. Truly a unique property. See all our places at www.CapitolHillStay.com
