About this home
Welcome to 1831 Independence Ave SE #2, a truly exceptional penthouse residence nestled in the heart of Hill East, one of Washington’s most charming and rapidly evolving neighborhoods. Built in 1924 and thoughtfully renovated in 2018, this exquisite home offers the perfect blend of classic architecture and refined modern luxury. Spanning multiple levels and occupying the entire top footprint of the building, the residence lives more like a private row home than a condominium, offering remarkable space, privacy and a natural flow that feels both expansive and intimate.
Inside, an open floor plan seamlessly connects the living room and kitchen, creating an inviting setting for everyday life and elevated entertaining. Solid hardwood floors run throughout, complemented by recessed lighting, designer paint colors and window shades that add depth, warmth and polish to every room. The overall design feels curated and sophisticated yet comfortable.
The gourmet kitchen is a dream for anyone who loves to cook and entertain. Upgraded countertops, a striking designer backsplash, stainless steel appliances and a six-burner stove anchor the space. The residence offers three spacious bedrooms and three full bathrooms, each thoughtfully designed for comfort and serenity. The primary suite serves as a beautiful retreat, featuring a wall of windows that allows for natural light to flood the room. The convenience of a laundry area with front-loading washer and dryer located on the same level as the primary suite enhances everyday ease. The third bathroom offers a luxurious steam shower that elevates daily routines into spa-like experiences.
Upstairs, the home’s most spectacular feature awaits: a private rooftop terrace spanning the entire footprint of the unit. This extraordinary outdoor space transforms the way you live. With sweeping city views and endless room to design your ideal retreat, the terrace easily accommodates multiple lounge areas, dining spaces, container gardens or even a future outdoor kitchen. Host sunset dinner parties, enjoy quiet mornings under open skies or unwind beneath the stars, all in complete privacy. It is not simply outdoor space; it is an extension of the home itself and a defining element of the luxury lifestyle this penthouse provides.
Additional features include private, secure assigned 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 is both refined and relaxed.
Living in Hill East offers a rare balance of suburban tranquility and urban connectivity. Tree-lined streets, neighborhood parks and a strong sense of community create a peaceful residential feel, yet you are less than a block from the Metro and moments from the RFK Stadium redevelopment, including the planned future stadium for the Washington Commanders. The location positions you at the center of one of Washington’s most exciting growth corridors while preserving the charm and comfort that make Hill East so beloved.
1831 Independence Ave SE #2 is more than a penthouse. It is a lifestyle defined by space, privacy, elevated design and an extraordinary rooftop experience in one of the city’s most compelling neighborhoods. Here, every detail invites you to settle in and stay awhile.
