407 Independence Avenue SE presents a rare opportunity to own a fully detached residence in the heart of Capitol Hill, pairing generous indoor and outdoor living with the exceptional convenience of private off-street parking for up to three cars. Originally built in 1890 and thoughtfully renovated in 2017, the home offers over 2,700 finished square feet across three levels with four bedrooms and three full baths.
The main level unfolds through inviting living and dining spaces anchored by a fireplace, followed by a well-appointed kitchen designed for everyday living and entertaining. A main-level bedroom and full bath provide added flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional living space. Upstairs, the primary suite is joined by two additional bedrooms, a second full bath, and a dedicated laundry room. The finished lower level offers a spacious family room ideal for recreation, work, or a casual retreat.
Outdoor space is a defining feature of the property. A private, fully fenced rear yard and patio create an inviting setting for dining, entertaining, and relaxing, complemented by a fire pit and additional side patio. The brick driveway provides secure tandem parking for up to three vehicles, an especially rare convenience in this part of Capitol Hill. Additional features include solar panels, radiant floor heating, zoned climate control, a whole-house water filtration system, and on-demand hot water.
Positioned just three blocks from both the U.S. Capitol and Eastern Market, 407 Independence Avenue SE offers an exceptional combination of privacy, outdoor space, parking, and walkability in one of Washington’s most established neighborhoods.
