Welcome to 1013 Independence Ave SE — a rare 2-unit investment opportunity on one of the most iconic corridors in Capitol Hill. Ideally located just minutes from Eastern Market and a short walk to the United States Capitol and the Library of Congress, this location delivers exceptional walkability, historic character, and long-term demand in one of DC’s most stable submarkets. Both units are occupied and will be conveyed with tenancy.
Rich with historic charm both inside and out, this classic interior row home is currently configured as a two-unit property, offering immediate income potential and strong long-term upside. The main unit spans the primary level and lower level and is arranged as a 3-bedroom, 1-bath residence, featuring a full kitchen in the basement along with both front and rear egress — providing excellent flexibility for layout optimization or enhanced rental strategy. The upper-level unit offers a 1-bedroom, 1-bath configuration with its own kitchen, creating a fully independent living space.
The units are separately metered, an attractive and practical feature for landlords seeking operational efficiency and streamlined tenant utility responsibility.
Offering approximately 1,584 square feet above grade and 2,016 total square feet on a .03-acre lot, the property is currently occupied and positioned for value creation. While updates are needed, strong surrounding comparable sales support compelling after-repair value, making this an exceptional value-add acquisition opportunity in the heart of Capitol Hill.
