1451 Maryland Ave NEWashington, DC 20002




An exceptional turn-key, mixed-use residential/commercial opportunity in Northeast DC’s rapidly growing Starburst Intersection. Situated on a prominent corner lot, this fully renovated 2021 property features beautifully maintained spaces, thoughtfully executed upgrades, and high-caliber tenants in place—offering a rare blend of architectural charm and modern functionality. The ground floor is home to Daru, a Michelin Bib Gourmand-awarded Indian-Nepalese restaurant, widely celebrated for its innovative cuisine and strong local following. Daru fully maintains its space, manages trash service, and recently expanded its covered outdoor dining area to accommodate growing demand. The restaurant has also opened a second location nearby, further underscoring its continued success. Above, the residential penthouse offers a luxurious two-bedroom, two-bath layout designed for modern urban living. The open-concept loft features wide plank white oak flooring, a striking hexagonal sunroom, JennAir appliances, spa-inspired bathrooms, and two private outdoor terraces. Tenants currently in place have expressed strong interest in renewing. The building underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2021, including all new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, a full basement excavation to create a commercial kitchen, a top-floor addition, new windows, a reimagined storefront, enhanced entryways, and the addition of two rooftop decks. Both units are separately metered and pay their own utilities. The price listed reflects the sale of the entire building, which includes both the residential penthouse and the ground-floor commercial unit—offered together as a single, fully leased asset (see MLS #DCDC2175008 for full scope). The square footage in this listing pertains specifically to the residential unit; the total finished square footage of the building is approximately 4,400 sqft.
