Have a buyer looking for a live-in fixer-upper or custom-build opportunity? Have they interior or architectural design skills with ambition to put to work and build their dream live-work space? This property has an approved DC building permit and drawings which the owner shall assign to the buyer upon closing. This value-add enables buyer to immediately start construction of a three (3) story rear addition (an additional 1200 sf) and a roof deck, transforming the current 2BR/ 1½ BA property to a 4BR/4BA. Consequently, this property is being sold in "AS-IS" Condition - all inspections for informational purposes only. This federal style home is in one of the District’s more desirable and convenient close-in locations to downtown (20-minute walk), on the border of historic Shaw and Logan neighborhoods, on a safe and quiet block, with its neighborhood family-friendly French Street Park. It boasts a pedestrian friendly 97 walk score, only 3 blocks to the Shaw METRO/ Green Line (@ 8th & R) and the Shaw neighborhood library, 4 blocks to U Street restaurants, 5 blocks to Giant Food and 8 blocks to Whole Foods and Trader Joes. The only semi-detached townhome on the block allows for convenient exterior access to the front and rear yards. Build upon the home’s classic charm and innate comfort as evidenced by its exposed brick, wood burning fireplace, wood floors, interior transoms thru-out, ceiling fans, CAC, natural gas-supplied kitchen stove/oven, boiler, and radiator heat. Brick paved rear patio with off-street parking. Your buyer's opportunity to secure their pied-a-terre awaits them for a limited time, with the means to immediately leverage its value and build a dream home.
