Capitol Hill Row House on Independence Ave SE

The home at 1741 Independence Ave SE is a three-bedroom, two-bath row house built in 1925 and situated in one of Washington’s most historically layered residential neighborhoods. At 1,244 square feet, the interior offers a considered footprint that reflects the proportions characteristic of Capitol Hill’s early twentieth-century housing stock.

Independence Avenue SE runs as a primary east-west corridor through the Hill, connecting the Capitol grounds to the broader SE quadrant. The address places residents within the established grid of Capitol Hill, where brick sidewalks, mature street trees, and a walkable commercial core define daily life. Eastern Market, the neighborhood’s anchor, is close at hand.

Wardman Residential at Compass represented the buyer in this transaction, providing advisory support through the Capitol Hill market.

The Property
The home is a 1925 row house offering three bedrooms and two full baths within 1,244 square feet. The scale is consistent with Capitol Hill’s historic residential typology — compact, efficient, and architecturally coherent with the surrounding streetscape.
The Setting
Capitol Hill SE is among Washington’s most intact historic neighborhoods, defined by Federal and Victorian-era row houses, a walkable commercial strip along Barracks Row, and proximity to the Capitol campus. The neighborhood draws buyers who prioritize urban walkability and architectural character.
The Corridor
Independence Avenue SE is a principal arterial route through the Hill, offering direct connectivity to the Capitol, the National Mall, and the broader SE quadrant. The address benefits from this central positioning without sacrificing the residential character of the surrounding blocks.
