Welcome to 1636 Independence Avenue, SE, a meticulously restored Victorian in a prime Capitol Hill East location, just two blocks from Stadium Armory Metro and eight blocks from Eastern Market. The inviting main level, with a welcoming wood-burning fireplace, framed by custom built-in cabinets and bookshelves, offers an open floor plan with abundant natural light, and warm hardwood floors throughout. Exposed red brick holds dear the character of a classic DC row home built in 1930, but thoughtful updates create living ideally suited for today’s preferences. The renovated kitchen is a chef’s dream, with white raised-panel cabinetry, a gas range, a full suite of new stainless-steel appliances, timeless white tile backsplash, and gorgeous quartz countertops. The main level is completed by an ample powder room. Sliding glass doors let in the light and open to a private backyard with attractive, low-maintenance landscaping. Upstairs is flooded with sunlight from the large new central hall skylight, flanked by two large bedrooms, an additional full bath and stacked washer and dryer. The generously proportioned primary bedroom is a true sanctuary, aided by a fully renovated spa-inspired bath complete with double vanities, tiled floor and an oversized walk-in shower crowned with a second custom skylight. The property offers even more value via the deep shaded yard with enclosed parking. The brand-new water heater and new roof convey with warranties. Walk to two Metro stops, shopping and dining, Lincoln Park, Eastern Market, and Barracks Row. Investment opportunity as 190 acre redevelopment plan is underway of former RFK stadium. This will be DC's newest destination!
