Morning light over the Capitol dome, and some of Washington’s best tables a short walk away. 801 Virginia Ave SE #307 is a third-floor one-bedroom condominium at The Emblem, built in 2018 on Capitol Hill between Barracks Row and Navy Yard, with in-unit laundry and secure parking. It is an easy, low-maintenance first home, a residence close to the Hill for a member of Congress or staff, or a Washington, DC pied-à-terre. Inside, the rooms feel calm and easy to live in. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the home with light, and a bay window frames views of the U.S. Capitol, a natural spot for morning coffee or a quiet evening. Warm hardwood floors run throughout, remote-controlled window treatments soften the afternoon sun at a touch, and the kitchen pairs quartz countertops with Bosch appliances. Daily life here is simple. The U.S. Capitol complex is a short commute, and the Eastern Market and Navy Yard-Ballpark Metro stations are each about a 12-minute walk. Lock the door on Friday, return on Tuesday, and find everything just as you left it. Evenings are the reward, with a table for every occasion. Michelin-starred Pineapple and Pearls and Albi set the tone for client dinners, Rose’s Luxury on Barracks Row is made for date night, and The Brig is the easy yes for a drink with friends. Nationals Park is a short walk for summer games, and Saturday mornings belong to Eastern Market, with Trader Joe’s nearby for everything else. When it is time to travel, Reagan National Airport (DCA) is roughly 10 minutes by car. Wherever the week takes you, this is an easy place to come home to.
