Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
Located at 601 E St SE in Washington, DC 20003, this historic live-work building dates to circa 1890 and is approved for both commercial and residential use. The property is comprised of three finished levels totaling 2,437 square feet, with two full bathrooms and an English basement kitchen. The main level is designed as a flexible space for either reception/workspace/conference use or family living. Upstairs, three rooms can function as private offices or bedrooms.
Throughout the interior, original architectural elements have been preserved, including the original facade, shutters, windows, doors, high ceilings, exposed brick walls, a wood-burning fireplace, and exposed wood beams. Two sets of multi-paned glass doors open to an elevated brick patio, extending the living and working space outdoors.
Recent updates include interior freshly painted and exterior touch-ups. The roof is reported to be 10–15 years old, and the heating and AC systems are reported to be less than 5 years old. The property is described as a quick five-minute walk to Eastern Market Metro, about an 18-minute walk to the U.S. Capitol, and roughly two blocks from Barracks Row dining and nightlife, with Nationals Park, Navy Yard, and the Wharf nearby.
