About this House

ATTENTION DEVELOPERS, INVESTORS, FLIPPERS & AMBITIOUS OWNER-OCCUPANTS! Rare opportunity to acquire a detached home on an oversized 10,748 SF corner lot in the Fort Dupont Park area. The property is zoned R-1B and offers an intriguing redevelopment opportunity. Given the property's lot size, location, and zoning, buyers may wish to investigate potential subdivision or redevelopment opportunities. No representation is made regarding subdivision or development feasibility; buyers must independently verify with DC DOB, the Office of Zoning, and/or other appropriate professionals. Prefer to keep the existing home and large yard? Buyers may also want to explore the potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or other permitted expansion, subject to DC zoning, building requirements, and approvals. PROPERTY REQUIRES SUBSTANTIAL RENOVATION AND IS SOLD STRICTLY AS-IS. SELLER WILL MAKE NO REPAIRS. Known conditions include a roof believed to be at or near the end of its useful life, a bowing basement wall, and settlement cracking on the second floor. Buyers are strongly encouraged to have appropriately licensed professionals evaluate the property and its structural condition. Listing photos have been digitally enhanced. No sight-unseen offers will be accepted. Close to Fort Dupont Park, local recreation, shopping, Downtown DC, and Maryland. Bring your contractor, architect, and ideas. Seller is open to all offers.

    "There are not many poop and scoop signs so most people let their pets poop and not scoop. There should be more of an effort to clean up behind your pets. "

    "There are plenty of places to walk your dog safely, but, unless the dog is very well-trained, I wouldn't let him off -leash. Too many busy roads. I most definitely would NEVER LEAVE DOGS UNATTENDED tied to a post outside a store, nor would I leave my dog outside alone in the yard. Unfortunately, pets (dogs and cats) are being stolen CITYWIDE. Many of the pets are never seen again, and it is widely believed that these pets are stolen to be used as bait in dog fighting. I wish I had a more positive response. A family friend's little dog was stolen in a matter of minutes when she was left in the backyard, and was never seen again."

    "The bus route that I normally take, 96/97, is extremely busy, and often too crowded, with not enough room for younger, able-bodied passengers, much less the MANY senior and handicapped passengers. The bus route takes it thru some very high traffic, congested areas of the city. The non-rush hour route (96) is one of the longest routes in the city, running completely across town. When seats are available - and when the windows work and heat/air conditioning is working properly, it's nice to be able to take that bus from one end of the city to the other. VERY long ride, so bring your patience."

    "It's a fairly quiet neighborhood, conveniently located near Benning Rd. Metro Station and East Capitol Street NE/SE, just across the Anacostia River from the Capital Hill. There's parkland surrounding the neighborhood, where picnic areas abound."

    "I wouldn't let my kids go out by themselves. Not so much of an issue in my apartment complex, but the city in general seems to to be seeing an upswing in violent crime and random shootings. There's a recreation center just up the street, with a pretty decent play area."
