...Classic and spacious 3-level brick row house with cathedral ceilings and exposed brick. This property offers an unparalleled chance for investors, developers, or a savvy homeowner to fully reimagine a historic space. Located on a quiet section of 4th Street NE, you get the benefit of a sought-after Capitol Hill adjacent location without the constant hustle and bustle of busier thoroughfares.
The historic bones are strong, dating back to 1900, and offer tremendous finished square footage potential, currently estimated at over 2,100 square feet with an existing 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom layout. Its prime location offers excellent walkability to the H Street Corridor, Union Market, and various transit options, ensuring high demand upon completion. Cosmetic repairs are necessary, including the need for a new roof (currently winterized to prevent moisture intrusion) . This is a maximum upside investment opportunity—bring your architect and vision!
