Like-new construction,800 ft to metro, expansive roof deck, secure off-street PARKING, 05 mi walk to parks, tree-lined Hill East streets, remarkable light, 3 BR each with it's own bath which lives like a house (without the headaches or cost!) Welcome to a truly exceptional residence nestled in one of Washington’s most charming and rapidly evolving neighborhoods and steps to the new Commanders Stadium development. Completely renovated by a developer in 2018, this distinctive home blends classic architecture with refined modern luxury. Spanning multiple levels and occupying the entire top footprint of the building, the residence lives much more like a private rowhome than a traditional condominium, offering remarkable space, privacy and a natural multi-level flow rarely found in condo living. Live in it, or keep as rental!
Inside, the open floor plan seamlessly connects the living room and kitchen, creating an inviting setting for both everyday living and elevated entertaining. Solid hardwood floors run throughout, complemented by recessed lighting, designer paint colors and curated designer lighting that add warmth and polish to every room.
The gourmet kitchen is both stunning and highly functional, anchored by a dramatic waterfall stone breakfast bar that comfortably seats four. A striking backsplash, stainless steel appliances and a five-burner stove complete the space, while a deep, oversized pantry provides exceptional storage rarely found in condominiums.
The residence offers three spacious bedrooms and three full bathrooms, each thoughtfully designed for comfort and serenity. Bedrooms two and three feature double closets, with built-ins in the third bedroom adding both character and functionality. The primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat with abundant natural light, a generous walk-in closet, and a beautifully designed primary bath featuring a decorative tile floor and an exquisitely tiled shower. All three bathrooms showcase designer finishes and elegant tile work, while the third bath includes a luxurious steam shower that transforms daily routines into spa-like experiences. A conveniently located laundry area with front-loading washer and dryer sits on the same level as the primary suite for everyday ease.
Upstairs, the home’s most spectacular feature awaits: a private rooftop terrace spanning the entire footprint of the residence. This extraordinary outdoor space offers sweeping city views and endless possibilities for entertaining and relaxation. With room for multiple lounge areas, dining spaces, container gardens or even a possible future outdoor kitchen, the terrace becomes a true extension of the home. Host sunset dinner parties, enjoy quiet mornings under open skies or unwind beneath the stars in complete privacy.
Additional features include secure garage-door parking and charming exterior details that contribute to the welcoming streetscape. Every element of this home has been carefully considered to create an atmosphere that feels both refined and comfortable.
Living in Hill East offers a rare balance of neighborhood tranquility and urban connectivity. Tree-lined streets, nearby parks and a strong sense of community create a peaceful setting, yet you are less than a block from the Metro and moments from the transformative RFK Stadium redevelopment, including the planned future stadium for the Washington Commanders.
1831 Independence Ave SE #2 is a home that delivers the space, flow, and privacy of a rowhome with the convenience of condominium living. Defined by elevated design, expansive outdoor space and exceptional features throughout, this residence offers a truly spectacular living experience. Pet friendly with incredibly low condo fees.
