641 INDEPENDENCE AVE SE
Washington, DC 20003

Description:

Some Capitol Hill addresses are coveted. A select few define the Capitol Hill experience. Set directly across from Eastern Market and moments from Lincoln Park, 641 Independence Avenue SE is a quintessential Federal townhouse that pairs the architectural grace of historic Washington with an enviable, walk-everywhere lifestyle. With its elegant proportions, soaring ceilings, timeless character, and extraordinary setting, this is Capitol Hill living at its most quintessential. Inside, soaring 10-foot ceilings, a wood buring fire place and beautiful pine hardwood floors immediately establish the sense of history and scale. The home’s classic character has been thoughtfully complemented by a beautifully updated kitchen, where a Wolf range and stainless-steel appliances bring a distinctly modern level of function to the timeless architecture. Beyond the kitchen, a charming outdoor space offers a rare extension of the living area—a private setting for morning coffee, intimate dinners, or cocktails with friends as the evening settles over Capitol Hill. It is the kind of space that invites you to slow down and enjoy the extraordinary lifestyle this home makes possible. And then there is the setting. Eastern Market is quite literally part of the daily rhythm of life here. Step outside and the neighborhood unfolds around you: the Market, Trader Joe’s, neighborhood cafés, acclaimed restaurants, and the Eastern Market Metro are all within moments of your front door. Wander a few blocks to the expansive lawns and tree-lined paths of Lincoln Park, meet friends for a drink at Lobby Bar or Tunnicliff’s Tavern, pick up fresh flowers and provisions at Eastern Market, or walk to dinner at one of Capitol Hill’s many beloved restaurants. Leave the car behind and embrace one of Washington’s most sophisticated and walkable neighborhoods. Here, the best of Capitol Hill is not simply nearby—it becomes part of everyday life. This is more than a beautifully located townhouse. It is an opportunity to own a piece of Capitol Hill’s architectural heritage in a setting that is nearly impossible to replicate. Historic character. Exceptional scale. An inviting outdoor retreat. And an extraordinary location at the very heart of Capitol Hill.
