Vacant lot in Georgetown on Prospect Street which could accommodate a freestanding home. The lot is nonconforming size so we are looking for a developer who is willing to take it through the approval process. It needs a variance for size and rear yard depth. We will settle upon receipt of approvals. It could also be developed as a garage.
West Village, located between Georgetown and Foggy Bottom, is a residential and waterfront Washington, DC neighborhood with brick rowhouses and riverfront promenades. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along the Washington Harbour boardwalk, where patios, marina views, and evening foot traffic set the pace. Pillars include The Kennedy Center for performing arts, Blues Alley for live jazz, and Washington Harbour for seasonal waterfront events. Streetscapes mix historic facades with mid-rise condos and tucked-away courtyards. The Potomac shoreline and nearby parkland shape daily routines with walking and cycling routes. Dining clusters along Wisconsin Avenue and the waterfront, while quieter blocks keep a composed, lived-in feel.
