About This Home
As of August 2025Welcome to 419 Independence Ave SE, where timeless Capitol Hill charm meets thoughtful modern design. Ideally situated between the U.S. Capitol, Eastern Market, and both Stanton and Lincoln Parks, this fully reimagined rowhome offers classic curb appeal and stylish interior updates throughout.
Step inside to a bright, open main level where wide-plank oak floors and recessed lighting set a warm, welcoming tone. The spacious living and dining areas flow seamlessly into a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring walnut and white cabinetry, brass hardware, solid-surface countertops, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances. A step-in pantry adds coveted storage, and a large picture window frames the private, hardscaped rear patio, perfect for slow mornings, evening entertaining, or simply unwinding with a glass of wine.
Upstairs, you'll find two spacious bedrooms with custom closets and two full baths, including a sun-drenched primary suite with floor-to-ceiling windows, a Juliet balcony, and a sleek, modern ensuite with a double vanity. A generous third room offers ideal space for a home office, additional guest room, or a luxe walk-in closet. Additional upgrades include Pella windows, designer tile, illuminated mirrors, a stacked Samsung washer/dryer, and updated HVAC and systems; all part of the home’s 2019 top-to-bottom renovation.
Just four blocks from the Library of Congress and minutes to the Capitol South and Eastern Market Metros, Trader Joe’s, local cafes, and weekend farmers market, this location delivers true Capitol Hill walkability with a Walk Score of 98.
419 Independence Ave SE is move-in ready and waiting to welcome you home.
