About this property

Location, Beauty & Free Parking On Capitol Hill!

Renovated in 2015 and beautifully decorated, this separate entrance carriage house has hardwood floors, high ceilings and everything you’ll need for your stay on the Hill. The bedroom has a four-posted queen-size bed, dresser, marble vanity and a cozy armchair. The French doors open onto a secret garden, the perfect place to enjoy breakfast. The bathroom is done in creamy Travertine with a large tiled shower. The great room has a day bed with a hidden pull-out trundle bed, two arm chairs, a ladder bar and a flat screen TV, and a multi-function antique table: Tucked into an alcove it’s the ideal space to eat a sandwich, work on your laptop or charge your electronics. At mealtime pull it away from the wall and pop up the sides for a table that seats six. Let us know how many bistro dining chairs you’ll need. Along the back wall the fully-outfitted kitchen has a full-size, 4 burner stove, sink, and 5 ft. refrigerator. Off-street parking for one car is included. There is no washer/dryer in the apartment but a laundromat is 7 blocks away.

Please note our other VRBO properties -- 601103 is just across the patio from the carriage house, and 1056814 is just down the street.

Perfect accommodations. Great location.
We spent a week exploring DC from this property. It was everything we could have hoped for. Quiet location. Close to all sorts of public transportation. We rode bikes everywhere. Wonderful restaurants within walking distance. A grocery store a couple blocks away. We were close in to all the sights. But we could sit out in the little patio and enjoy a quiet happy hour by ourselves as well. Highly recommend this if you are coming to DC.

Great Place!
We so enjoyed our stay! They neighborhood was just close enough to walk to anything we needed and the garden in the back was perfect for resting in after a long day. The beds were comfortable, it was clean, a little smaller than I anticipated but there was plenty of space for my husband, myself and 2 teens to have room. Would definitely recommend.

Great location in DC
Great location, beautiful old property with historical touches, enjoyed our visit. On the surface the place was clean, but our curious dog quickly found a dirty sock, bloody tissue, and candy wrappers in corners and there was a bit of dirt and dust on the floors - may be time for a deep clean :)

It was a lovely apartment, well placed for the Capitol and Washington Mall. Full of character and with a nice breakfast at Jimmy Ts nearby! The air con was perfect after a day walking around Washington and it was really easy to pick up the keys after our flight.

About the host

Hosted by Katy Kelly

Host profile image
The Kelly family is the second family to live in the main house, which was built in 1876 by Maj. Samuel Walker for his family.

Why they chose this property

One of the premier properties on Capitol Hill, the carriage house, the stable and the east side of this Victorian house were completed in 1876. By 1886, Maj. Samuel Walker had more money and ten children so he added the west side of the house, the third floor and the porches in the style of Charles Eastlake, the English architect who simplified Victorian architecture and flattened its rounded gingerbread. All of the first floor ceilings—except the hall—are tin and so is a bedroom ceiling on the second floor.

What makes this property unique

One of the great pleasures of the main house is that it remains much as it was when first built. Modernizing was done slowly, with care and caution. On the chance that electricity was just a fad, Major Walker only electrified every other arm of the chandeliers in the living room and the study and left the others as gas jets. The gaslights still work--and so does the electricity.
