Welcome to 512 Independence Avenue SE! Enjoy close proximity to Eastern Market, Barracks Row, multiple parks, the Library of Congress, the Capitol and House/Senate office buildings. This spacious home (approx 2400sf per the floor plan), on three finished levels, is filled with sunlight on all levels and welcomes you in with a small garden at the front entrance. Inside, the main level offers soaring ceilings (almost 10'). The welcoming vestibule opens to the foyer, living room with wood-burning fireplace, dining room and large, updated eat-in kitchen. The kitchen opens via wide sliding glass doors to a large deck and garden with a beautiful magnolia tulip tree. A half bath and laundry complete the main level. On the second floor, there are five skylights that bring extra daylight to the house: one in the hall, two in the primary suite and one in each bathroom. The primary suite offers a sitting room with a wood-burning fireplace (and two skylights) plus a bedroom and renovated bath. The bedroom overlooks the garden through large windows. The second bedroom enjoys ample closet space, and the third "bedroom" (no closet) is perfect for use as an office, nursery or guest bedroom. There is a closet in the hall and a renovated hall bath. The lower level offers a large family room with three distinct areas: a family room with a fireplace and wet bar, an office area with built-ins next to the windows, and a sleeping area (separated by bookcases) with a full bath. There is also a LARGE finished room (great for storage) that connects from the stairs to the living area where there is a "work closet" for tools, etc. plus a mechanical closet. This house is a gem, filled with light and architecture (and move-in ready) in an unbeatable location!
