Description

Clean. Crisp. Curated. Cohesive. This is the kind of renovation that just feels right the moment you walk in. A welcoming front porch sets the tone, equal parts charm and curb appeal. Step inside, and the home opens up beautifully. Southern sunlight pours across wide plank floors. Sightlines are long. The flow is flawless. Living, dining, and kitchen spaces all connect seamlessly, creating an inviting environment that works just as well for a quiet night in as it does for a full house of friends. And then there’s the kitchen. Anchored by a peninsula breakfast bar, it delivers on both style and function. White shaker cabinetry. Quartz countertops. Stainless steel appliances. Clean, modern, and functional, built for real life. A sleek main-level powder room adds convenience exactly where you want it. Upstairs, the layout hits the sweet spot. The primary suite is calm and private. Wide closets, room for furniture, and a sitting space, plus an en-suite bath and step-in shower, complete the package. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, work-from-home, or whatever comes next. A skylit hall bath atop the staircase ties it all together. Out back, it only gets better. A spacious rear deck extends your living space outdoors. Think grilling, hosting, or unwinding at the end of the day. The rear yard gives you room to breathe. Off-street gated parking seals the deal. Location-wise, this one checks boxes: moments to Stadium-Armory Metro. Close to Safeway. Easy access to The Roost and neighborhood staples. And with the RFK redevelopment on the horizon, there’s real upside baked in. 1739 Independence is easy living. Turnkey. Top quality. Well-located. Welcome home.

    "Stadium is the last Metro stop before orange blue silver lines split apart and go in different directions. This means if you are commuting from Downtown DC is easy, you can jump on any Blue/Orange/Silver train headed East. If you live further out then you need to wait to get on the right blue, silver or orange train and getting home could possibly take much, much longer."
