This newly renovated destination on Capitol Hill is inspired by music and the visual arts: the 2-story house includes a bright garden, dining patio, open living/dining with modern kitchen, wood-burning fireplace, French doors to the patio, 3 upstairs bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Perfect for 2 couples and kids, it is located in a very walkable neighborhood with easy access to Union Station, Eastern Market, the US Capitol, and many great restaurants.

The two floors of the house (total area of 1,200 square feet) are situated on grade level and one story above. The windows are large and provide lovely tree and landscape views that change with the seasons. The place with its south-facing garden will be all yours.

Features include: internet, central A/C, a library of books, 65" TV, audiophile hi-fi with CD, FM radio and Bluetooth, 6-seat dining table, fireplace (Duraflame provided), a gas range, a Keurig coffee maker (K-cups provided) and all the utensils you will need to cook a meal. The outdoor terrace and fountain are accessed via French doors; 18" Weber grill and a smoker with charcoal (provided),

Up a flight of stairs, you will find the 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and the washer/dryer. The largest bedroom, with a Cal King bed, includes a newly-renovated ensuite bathroom (walk in shower), a desk & chair, and a large closet. The middle bedroom has a Queen bed, a large closet, a Casio keyboard, Ludwig drum kit, and a variety of other musical instruments for the kids such as a glockenspiel! The smallest bedroom, with 2 standard twin beds in bunkbed arrangement, includes a small closet, books, legos, and toys. These 2 bedrooms share a common bathroom, also newly-renovated, with a tub and shower. Luggage racks and black-out curtains are provided in each bedroom.

While it's a great spot for kids, please note that our house is not toddler-proof. We do not have baby gates at the stairs, safety latches on the cabinets, or outlet covers.

Cozy home base while in DC

We had a wonderful week in DC. The unit, location and our hosts were all wonderful. The hosts provided everything we could possibly need and were quickly available and went above and beyond whenever we reached out. We will definitely stay there again when we next visit Washington DC.

Excellent location among the DC Charm

Scott was very welcoming and made himself available to answer questions and provide for us as needed. Everything was very comfortable and we loved the location- close enough to walk to several restaurants within 1/2 mile - Capitol Hill about 1 mile away.

5 stars all around!!

We had an incredible stay! The property was absolutely gorgeous - a beautiful location in a quaint, lovely neighborhood in a prime spot in DC. Super safe and walkable area, with coffee shops, playgrounds and restaurants nearby. My boys loved swinging on the swing and my husband and I enjoyed sitting on the patio, enjoying the fountain, plants and trees. The inside of the house was just as beautiful. It is spacious, and super nice. Comfy beds, nice linens, upscale bathrooms, etc. I can’t say enough - the place was perfection. When we return to the DC area, we would absolutely stay here again!!!

About the host

Hosted by Scott Kilbourn

Host profile image
My wife and I purchased this house in 2009 after spending 13 years in East Asia. We are architects (with an avid interest in art, photography, and music) and have been renovating and improving the property during the past 15 years. Your part of the house was built in 1976. The original house, including the north portion where we reside, was built in 1893.

Originally, we are from Maryland and New England. We have three boys – the oldest was born in Shanghai and now attends college. The younger two were born in DC and currently attend a Washington Public Charter school.

We have been active guests and hosts for many years and have greatly enjoyed getting to know folks from around the world!

Why they chose this property

A treelined, historic, and “very walkable” location (walkscore.com) with easy and pleasant pedestrian access to the Capitol, Union Station, and the great restaurants nearby and along H Street; you will join many joggers, dog walkers and school children during the day throughout the area.

Street parking is available, but Uber/Lyft services are plentiful and an easy and affordable way to get around because the main attractions are so close: the museums on the National Mall are about 2 miles away, and Reagan Airport (DCA) is 6. A Capital Bikeshare docking station is right across the street and DC Metro (Union Station) is a 15-minute walk. Multiple bus stops and the H Street Trolley are even closer. Whole Foods Market is a 10-minute walk.

What makes this property unique

Our place is well-located, and lively during the day, but peaceful and quiet at night. Our indoor space is accentuated by art, music and books. The shaded outdoor terrace and garden change with the seasons -- perfect for a morning coffee next to the bubbling fountain, or for grilling something delicious for your evening meal on the Weber.

A recent reviewer writes: "I travel to DC a lot, and Scott’s house was one of the best spots I’ve ever stayed in! The location is perfect, and the house has everything you need. Scott was attentive and friendly. Can’t wait to return:)"
