Property Description

BUYERS WANTED! Estate Sale | Deep-Lot Trinidad Duplex with Parking, Income + Real Upside In a neighborhood that keeps proving its momentum, this classic Trinidad two-unit property offers something increasingly rare: space to grow, income to offset, and zoning that gives you options. Set on an unusually deep RF-1 lot with rear access, the property supports true off-street parking for 2–4 vehicles. For buyers thinking longer term, the lot depth opens the door to a meaningful rear expansion while still retaining two-car parking, subject to zoning and permitting. Both units are separately metered for gas and electric, creating clean operational lines and flexibility for future use. Upper Unit Tenant-occupied at market rent. Renovated 1BR/1BA with updated kitchen and bath. Stable income from day one. Lower Unit Fully gutted and ready for its next chapter. No guesswork, no piecemeal demo. A blank canvas to design, build, and reposition with intention. This property works for multiple strategies: • Live upstairs, renovate below • Hold as a long-term income asset • Rebuild and reconfigure for stronger returns • Expand thoughtfully within RF-1 guidelines Located moments from Union Market, Ivy City, H Street, Capitol Hill, and the U.S. National Arboretum, the fundamentals are solid and the trajectory is clear. Offered approximately 10% below the DC tax assessment! Opportunities with this combination of depth, parking, zoning flexibility, and existing income are not common. Tour it. Run your numbers. Then decide how you want to play it. Reach out for a tour, let's get you in there!
