About this home
Development Opportunity in Southeast Washington, DC! This property presents a unique opportunity for a homeowner, builder, or investor seeking to create value in an established Southeast DC location. The offering includes two lots, providing flexibility for a variety of development possibilities. The property is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to acquire a site for a detached single-family residence or for an investor/developer interested in exploring a higher-density configuration. A developer has completed an assessment of the site and, based on discussions and confirmation with DCRA, has determined the feasibility of developing either one detached residence or two adjoining units, each potentially incorporating an ADU, subject to applicable zoning, permitting, and regulatory approvals. Whether you're looking to build a home tailored to your vision or an investor seeking a development opportunity with multiple potential configurations, this property offers flexibility and upside. Bring your builder, architect, or development team and explore the possibilities. Buyer and buyer's agent are responsible for independently verifying zoning, development potential, permitted uses, lot dimensions, building requirements, and all applicable District of Columbia regulations and approvals.

Fairlawn, located between the Anacostia River and Pennsylvania Avenue SE, is a residential and riverside Washington, DC neighborhood with rowhouse blocks and broad parkland edges. The neighborhood’s pulse concentrates around the Pennsylvania Avenue SE corridor near the Sousa Bridge, where corner carryouts, barbershops, and small storefronts meet steady commuter traffic. Community touchstones include the Anacostia Community Museum, the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site, and the historic Anacostia Playhouse. Streets mix brick rowhomes with garden-style apartments, set against big-sky views from nearby river crossings. The Anacostia Riverwalk Trail and adjacent green spaces shape daily routines with long, linear paths and waterfront overlooks. Metro and bus lines along the corridor connect the area to downtown without changing its grounded, local feel.
