Property Description

In 1891, Appleton P. Clark Jr., one of Washington’s most celebrated architects, raised a Romanesque Revival church across from Stanton Park in Potomac bluestone and carved limestone. For more than a century it held congregations, weddings, and Sunday mornings. Today it holds six private residences collectively known as The Bell Tower at Stanton Park, and Residence #2 is unlike any other home on Capitol Hill. Residence #2 is a home unlike any other. Preserved stained glass windows cast dappled light across the interiors, shifting in color and character throughout the day. Historic architectural details lend a sense of permanence and individuality, while the multilevel layout creates the feeling of a private townhome rather than a conventional condominium. With four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, a powder room, and approximately 2,765 square feet, the residence offers generous space to live, work, entertain, and retreat. A private elevator adds everyday convenience to the home's distinctive vertical design. The defining experience, however, is one that cannot be replicated in a new building. Imagine morning coffee with the park just beyond your windows, quiet moments beneath the glow of historic stained glass, or returning home to a residence whose story began generations before your own. Above it all, the building's iconic bell tower rises approximately 130 feet over Stanton Park, a landmark presence on the Capitol Hill skyline and a reminder of the history that surrounds you. Outside your door, some of Washington's most enduring institutions and neighborhood traditions are within easy reach. Stroll through Stanton Park, walk to the grounds of the U.S. Capitol, or make your way to Union Station for Metro access and regional travel. Eastern Market offers its weekend vendors and neighborhood rituals, while the restaurants, cafés, and independent shops along H Street NE provide a lively complement to Capitol Hill's quieter residential streets. The National Mall, historic rowhouses, and the city's civic heart are all part of everyday life here. Residence #2 is more than a historic conversion. It is an opportunity to inhabit a singular piece of Washington, where architectural character, modern comfort, and an exceptional Capitol Hill setting come together in a way that simply cannot be reproduced.
