Property Description

An unrivaled location, 420 Independence Ave SE is a distinguished 1890s Capitol Hill row home that blends historic charm with modern sophistication. This rare and expansive residence boasts three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, offering a living space adorned with period details and updated contemporary finishes. The main level features an open-floor-plan living room followed by a formal dining area, both bathed in natural light. This leads to a well-appointed kitchen equipped with ample cabinetry and room for a breakfast table and more. A convenient powder room and a wet bar with dual wine coolers enhance the home's entertainment capabilities. Ascending to the upper level, illuminated by skylights, you will find that the owner's suite impresses with a walk-through dressing room and a luxuriously renovated en-suite bathroom complete with a modern laundry center. Two additional generously sized bedrooms provide comfort and versatility and are complemented by an updated full bathroom. The property's outdoor space is equally inviting, featuring a serene patio garden complete with a built-in brick fountain, offering a tranquil retreat in the midst of the city. The rear patio also offers enough space for the potential conversion into a convenient parking pad. Situated between the Library of Congress and historic Eastern Market, this residence affords unparalleled access to cultural landmarks, dining, shopping, and public transportation, epitomizing the quintessential Capitol Hill lifestyle.
