1451 MARYLAND AVENUE 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 property blends thoughtful design, quality tenants, and a high-visibility location—offering an ideal long-term hold in one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods. Anchoring the ground floor is Daru, a Michelin Bib Gourmand-awarded Indian-Nepalese restaurant known for its acclaimed cuisine and strong local following. The tenant maintains the space to a high standard and recently expanded operations with a covered outdoor dining area to accommodate increasing demand. Daru has also opened a second location nearby, reflecting their continued growth and success. Above, the luxurious residential penthouse offers a stylish and spacious open-concept layout, featuring wide plank white oak floors, a dramatic hexagonal sunroom, high-end JennAir appliances, spa-inspired bathrooms, and two private outdoor terraces. The current tenants have expressed interest in renewing their lease, offering continued stability for the residential portion. The building underwent a comprehensive $1M renovation in 2021, including all new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, a full basement excavation for a commercial kitchen, a top-floor addition for the penthouse, new windows, a reimagined storefront, enhanced entryways, and the addition of two rooftop decks. With both units independently metered and self-maintained, this is a rare, low-maintenance offering in a rapidly evolving corridor of Washington, DC.
