Tucked into one of Capitol Hill’s most coveted blocks, 111 5th Street SE offers an exceptional blend of refined living, flexible space, and an enchanting outdoor retreat that feels worlds away from the city. The main residence unfolds with elegance and light, beginning with a gracious living and dining room designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. At the heart of the home, a high-end, eat-in kitchen pairs thoughtful design with elevated finishes and a lovely back deck —perfectly suited for gatherings large and small. Upstairs, a spacious and inviting family room provides a warm, versatile living area, accompanied by a well-appointed bedroom and full bath—ideal for guests or a private retreat. The top level features two additional bedrooms and a full bath, offering a peaceful separation of space and comfortable accommodations. The lower level presents a fully independent one-bedroom, one-bath apartment with a Certificate of Occupancy, offering exceptional flexibility for rental income, guests, or extended living. Both the main home and the apartment share access to what is truly a magical highlight: a secluded, walled garden. Lush, private, and beautifully tucked away, it evokes a secret garden—an extraordinary setting for quiet mornings, al fresco dining, or intimate gatherings. A home of this caliber, with its seamless blend of sophistication, versatility, and storybook outdoor space, is a rare offering in an unparalleled location.
