Whether you are a builder, architect, or a future homeowner, this site provides a unique opportunity to craft a one-of-a-kind home tailored to your vision in one of Washington’s most desirable and serene Upper Northwest neighborhoods. Permit-ready, you can break ground on day one post-closing! This luxury home sits on a 7,650 sq ft lot (. 18 acres) with plans for a 5,773 sq ft home including five bedrooms across three finished levels, a residential elevator, and a two-car garage. Set directly against Rock Creek Park, you have on-site access to the park and its trails - an extraordinary setting that feels remarkably private while remaining just a short walk from the shops, dining, and everyday conveniences of Rock Creek Shopping Center. The accomplished team of Teass Warren Architects, CAS Engineering, Onyx Structural, KK Engineering, and Studio AKA created a design blending sophisticated modern architecture with the mid-century characteristics found in this distinctive pocket of Colonial Village. 1842 Primrose St NW is also for sale. Do not miss the opportunity to acquire two exceptional lots, each priced under $800,000! This setting is nearly impossible to replicate in Washington: new construction where the numbers on acquisition-construction-and after retail value balance out, direct access to Rock Creek Park, remarkable privacy, and walkability to neighborhood dining and shopping.
Colonial Village, located between Arlington National Cemetery and Rosslyn, is a residential and commuter-friendly Washington neighborhood with leafy slopes and garden-style brick apartments. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along the Key Bridge–M Street NW gateway, where river views, café patios, and a steady Metro-to-trail flow set the pace. Architectural cues lean early-20th-century: tidy brick walk-ups, shaded courtyards, and small landscaped greens that soften the street grid. The Custis Trail stitches daily routines to the Potomac overlooks and the broader regional path network. Nearby cultural anchors like The Kennedy Center and the Watergate complex add a distinctly Washington backdrop. Dining and coffee rituals often orbit independent standouts such as Compass Coffee and District Taco in the Rosslyn–Georgetown orbit.
