This property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished, large, detached pre-1958 structure ideal for creative repositioning. The noteworthy 19th-century residence offers over 5,000 square feet of existing space on a prominent corner lot. It is an excellent candidate for redevelopment, luxury single-family expansion, or condominium conversion. Located in RF-1 zoning, the site allows multi-unit redevelopment in accordance with DC building codes.
The property is just one block from Piney Branch Parkway and Rock Creek Park’s extensive trail network, and one block from the newly renovated, highly rated Bancroft Elementary School. It is two blocks from cafés, retail, dining, and community amenities on Mount Pleasant Street, and only a 15-minute walk from the National Zoo. With outstanding walkability (Walk Score 97 – Walker’s Paradise), the location is highly desirable. Additional features include a one-car garage, a second parking space in the driveway, and unrestricted street parking on weekends.
