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.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
