On a wide corner lot just two blocks from Eastern Market, a historic 1885 grocery store has been meticulously restored into a 2,500 SF home on the Hill. Over 16 months (2021-2022), the owners served as both design directors and historians, partnering with Sestak Remodeling and Design Cadence to transform the dilapidated structure into a modern, functional, and historically rich residence. Every detail—from solid white oak floors and window treatments to lighting, hardware, and paint—was selected with care and consideration. The entry features shiplap walls and Victorian-era tile, and a restored original sink anchors the powder room. A sun-filled kitchen boasts custom inset cabinetry crafted by a Pennsylvania maker, soapstone countertops, and a custom, restaurant-grade range hood. The kitchen opens up to an outdoor space, paved with bricks salvaged from the original store, as well as a dining area with a breakfast nook set into the bay window. At the front of the home, past a dry bar with two beverage coolers, a coat closet, and the powder bath, the pistachio-hued living room with 12’ ceilings gleams in southern and western light. On one wall, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves can be accessed with a solid walnut ladder from Putnam Ladder Company, and on the other, a pair of window nooks house storage below. The fireplace surround, discovered during the restoration, is finished with a gas insert from Valor, and the space above the mantel is wired for a Frame TV. Upstairs, 10’ ceilings and solid oak flooring continue throughout. The primary suite, painted in an enviable Farrow & Ball color, includes an impressive walk-in closet as well as a hotel-worthy bathroom with a freestanding tub, Zellige-tiled shower, and dual sinks set in marble. Down the hallway, a laundry room with machines set at hip height hides behind a large pocket door, and two additional bedrooms share a hall bath outfitted with custom storage and a historic window with a glass privacy cover. In the basement level, found through a hidden door beside the main staircase, a 500 SF space can be used for storage or a playroom. This space has exterior access. 1000 Independence is a masterclass in historic preservation, color theory, and architectural excellence, and is truly a masterpiece on the Hill.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
