Description

1010 Pennsylvania Avenue SE offers a unique opportunity to create a distinctive residential or live-work property in the heart of Capitol Hill, one of Washington, D.C.’s most desirable and historic neighborhoods. Located along Pennsylvania Avenue SE, the property is surrounded by charming rowhomes, neighborhood retail, and vibrant community amenities, all within close proximity to Eastern Market, the U.S. Capitol, and multiple transit options. The existing four-level structure spans approximately 2,253 square feet and presents an ideal canvas for a full residential transformation or a thoughtfully designed live-work configuration. Zoned MU-4/CHC, the property allows for residential use, offering flexibility to convert the building into a single-family residence, a multi-level live-work home, or a hybrid residential/commercial layout depending on the buyer’s vision. Delivered in as-is condition, the property provides a rare opportunity to fully customize and design a home to modern standards while preserving the character and charm of a classic Capitol Hill row building. The layout lends itself well to reconfiguration, allowing for open living spaces, multiple bedrooms, private office areas, and potential outdoor enhancements such as a roof deck or rear extension, subject to approvals. The surrounding neighborhood strongly supports residential use, with a highly walkable environment, access to local dining, shopping, parks, and community amenities. The residential character of Capitol Hill enhances long-term desirability and value, while the flexibility of the zoning provides the ability to incorporate workspace or supplemental use within the home.
With an upgraded main water line and an existing fire sprinkler system already in place, the property is well-positioned for a comprehensive renovation and modernization. This is an exceptional opportunity for a buyer to create a custom residence or live-work property in a premier location, combining historic character, urban convenience, and long-term flexibility in one of Washington, D.C.’s most iconic neighborhoods.
