A truly rare opportunity to create a one or more custom residences just two miles from the U.S. Capitol. Tucked away on a private alley lot directly across from the brand-new McMillan community center, pool, and park, this R-3 zoned, 5240ft2 property presents exceptional potential for builders, developers, or end users looking to design a signature home (or up to 3 homes) in one of DC's fastest-evolving neighborhoods. Current zoning allows, by right, the construction of a custom single-family two story residence up to 8000+ square feet, subject to buyer verification and all applicable zoning and permitting requirements. The lot also allows for a detached accessory structure. Recently passed 2026 alley lot codes now allow subdivision of this unique alley lot into 3 individual buildable lots with an easily obtained Special Exception (contact realtor for more information and recent due diligence). Adding immediate value is an existing insulated and electrified modern Studio Shed featuring a kitchen, full bath, laundry, Murphy bed, mini-split HVAC, metal roof, and double French doors. Whether used as a home office, guest suite, creative studio, or temporary living space during construction, it provides incredible flexibility from day one. The property is further enhanced by mature gardens with apricot, cherry, apple, and fig trees, established PEPCO electrical service, an assigned street address.
