Property Description

A Premier Address in the Heart of Capitol Hill!

Situated a mere block from Eastern Market on Capitol Hill, this lovely home has been beautifully renovated, while retaining its historic charm and character. A rare semi-detached Victorian, the home enjoys light from southern, eastern and northern exposures.

The light-infused principal rooms offer lovely entertaining and dining space. Newly painted and offering fine, original hardwood floors, the property showcases a large living room, anchored by an elegant wood burning fireplace and very nicely built bookcases. At every turn, the property offers well-proportioned space and is filled with light from numerous windows, including an uncommon hexagon window. The dining room is complemented by the original staircase framed on one side with an exposed brick wall. A full bathroom is also located on this floor.

The pièce de résistance is the outstanding gourmet kitchen. Custom designed and using only the finest material, the kitchen is a gourmand’s dream. Copious cabinets, a true chef’s stove, a bar area and upscale appliances will provide joy for many years to come. Featuring Wolf and Bosch appliances, among others, the kitchen was a thoughtful and upscale renovation. Double French doors lead to a European-styled patio, perfect for outdoor entertaining and grilling!

The second floor features three bedrooms and an additional full bath. Clever closets maximize space, as does built-in shelves and a desk. The home offers two surprises – additional storage in the basement and a platform with amazing views on the roof!

In the very epicenter of Capitol Hill, 641 Independence is a rare offering of beautifully renovated interior space and light filled rooms from numerous windows and doors. The home has been transformed into a true gem of historic preservation and thoughtful, modern livability. A lovely home on a lovely block, it offers just the right ingredients for the fortunate buyer to be able to call it “Home.”
