Big Lot. Bold Bones. Even Bigger Potential. This detached gem sits in one of DC’s most promising pockets, offering space, character, and the kind of upside that’s getting harder to find. Rich with original details and thoughtfully laid out across four finished levels, it’s livable as-is but primed for a buyer with vision who knows how to turn potential into equity. With over 2,660 finished square feet, the home features a true foyer, separate living and dining rooms, and a spacious kitchen with direct access to a mudroom and a generous backyard. Upstairs are four bedrooms, with the top floor offering creative flexibility as a loft, home office, or private suite. The finished basement has 7'6" ceiling height and a large rec room, ideal for conversion into an income-producing unit, guest space, or studio. Whether you’re a developer looking for your next project or a buyer ready to put your own stamp on a home with presence and potential, this one delivers both space and opportunity. Situated between two red line Metro stations and close to Catholic and Trinity Universities, the home is minutes from DC’s culinary favorites, beer gardens, live music venues, markets, the upcoming Trader Joe’s, Fort Totten’s redevelopment corridor, Edgewood Recreation Center, and the Metropolitan Branch Trail. It’s connected, convenient, and still has that tucked-away neighborhood feel. Yes, it needs some love, but with comps pushing north of $1.4M, this is a canvas with the right fundamentals to back it up. The opportunity is here. This is your invitation to bring it to life.
