Historic Anacostia opportunity! Located on the sought-after 1400 block of W Street SE, directly across from the iconic Frederick Douglass National Historic Site, this historic 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on an oversized, fully fenced lot and is ready for its next chapter. Whether you're an investor, a homeowner with a vision, or someone looking to restore a piece of DC history, this property offers endless possibilities for renovation, thoughtful updates, or redevelopment. The expansive backyard provides exceptional outdoor space with endless potential to create a private garden retreat, outdoor entertaining areas, play space, or simply enjoy one of the largest lots in the neighborhood. Beyond the property itself, Historic Anacostia continues to benefit from significant public and private investment, including the transformative 11th Street Bridge Park, redevelopment at St. Elizabeths East, improvements to Anacostia Park, and continued growth along the Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue corridor. Conveniently located just minutes from Downtown DC, Capitol Hill, Navy Yard, and major commuter routes, this is a rare opportunity to own a historic home in a neighborhood where history, character, and future growth come together.
