An award-winning community. A showstopping kitchen. A Capitol Hill lifestyle that's second to none. Welcome to 1309 E Street SE #20, an exceptional two-level residence in Watkins Alley-one of Capitol Hill's most celebrated communities. Designed by the award-winning team at OPaL Design + Build and DITTO Residential, this LEED Silver-certified enclave reimagines the historic Capitol Hill alley with striking vintage industrial architecture, sustainable design, and an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the city. Beyond the iconic brick portico, discover a hidden oasis where beautifully landscaped courtyards, white birch and maple trees, bluestone seating walls, and illuminated pathways create a peaceful retreat just blocks from the energy of Eastern Market. Inside, modern elegance takes center stage. Soaring ceilings, wide-plank natural white oak flooring, and walls of windows overlooking the courtyard bathe the home in natural light. Thoughtfully designed built-in storage, custom shelving, and oversized closets ensure every inch is as functional as it is beautiful. The heart of the home is one of the finest kitchens in Watkins Alley. Anchored by a dramatic waterfall island, this chef-inspired space features sleek contemporary cabinetry, Bosch and Liebherr appliances, generous prep space, and effortless flow for entertaining. Whether hosting dinner parties or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, this kitchen was designed to impress. Upstairs, two spacious bedroom suites create the perfect private retreat. The expansive primary suite features a walk-in closet and a luxurious spa-inspired bath with a large walk-in shower, while the second suite offers flexibility for guests, a home office, or both. Additional storage closets on the upper level make everyday living refreshingly organized. What truly elevates this home is the lifestyle. Step outside and stroll to Eastern Market, The Roost, Caruso's Grocery, Hill East Burger, and The Pretzel Bakery. Explore Lincoln Park, bike the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail, or enjoy nearby Watkins athletic field, playground and courts. With the Potomac Avenue Metro just moments away, the very best of Washington is always within reach. Stylish. Sophisticated. Effortlessly livable.
