About this home

Rare opportunity to acquire a four-unit multifamily property in the heart of Capitol Hill. Located at 138 6th Street NE, this approximately 2,880 SF brick rowhouse features four one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments across three above-grade stories, generating $9,780 in monthly gross rental income. All four units are occupied by month-to-month tenants and feature private outdoor space and in-unit washers and dryers. The property has benefited from numerous capital improvements, including a new roof and skylight, boiler replacement in 2023, updated flooring, and various unit and common area upgrades. Separately metered electric allows tenants to pay their own electricity costs. Built circa 1892, the property retains classic Capitol Hill architectural character, with bay windows and traditional brick construction. Ideally situated approximately one block from Stanton Park and within walking distance of Union Station, the U.S. Capitol, Eastern Market, H Street, and Red Line Metro access. The four-unit configuration may qualify for exemptions from DC Rent Control, subject to applicable requirements, offering potential flexibility for future ownership and operations. The sale is also exempt from TOPA.
