When staging a home for sale, one key tip is to decorate it so that buyers can imagine themselves living there.

So, naturally, this Capitol Hill home is furnished like a Congressional office. We’re talking wall-to-wall patterned carpeting (who doesn’t love a little diamond-dot combo?), bulky leather chairs in hues ranging from sorrel to sepia, a nautical painting, and, of course, a prominently displayed American flag.

The Constitution Avenue NE home, first flagged by former National Republican Senatorial Committee staffer Chris Hansen, boasts two bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms and is currently listed for $899,900. According to listing agent Judi Seiden, of the Seiden Real Estate Group, the 1,296 square foot abode is now under contract, so you may have already lost your chance. (We don’t know the final sale price was.)

The spot currently houses Jamison and Sullivan, Inc., a 27-year-old government affairs and consulting services firm. Co-principal Jay Sullivan tells DCist over the phone that the contract for the home came through over the weekend. He adds that the decor is “just how it came about” and that he and co-principal Cy Jamison decided that, in large part due to the current housing market, “it’s just time” to sell the property, which is about two blocks away from all that federal action.

Jamison and Sullivan, Inc. certainly isn’t the only federally focused business to operate in one of the historic neighborhood’s rowhouses. Famously, conservative outlet Breitbart News dubbed an A Street NE row house “Breitbart Embassy”—New York Magazine described it as the “command-and-control center of the far-right insurgency against the conservative political Establishment.”

And a series of Democratic lawmakers bunked up together in a nearby rowhouse for decades, inspiring a now-cancelled television show. That living arrangement came to an end in 2014.

Plus, some lawmakers try to burnish their budgeting bona fides by literally living in their Capitol Hill offices.

According to records from the D.C. Recorder of Deeds, Jamison purchased the Constitution Avenue property in 1985 for $47,000. Sullivan describes the status of the building when Jamison bought it as “near-teardown.” (The D.C. Office of Tax and Revenue lists a more recent sale in 2002, but that date actually indicates when the owner paid off the debt he owed.) In the intervening time since the 1985 purchase, the property value has increased by approximately 1,800 percent.

“It served us well,” says Sullivan. “It’s an incredible location”
