Property Description

Nestled on a rare and expansive 7,500 square foot lot in the heart of Northeast DC, 1408 Franklin Street NE presents an exceptional opportunity to restore, reimagine, or expand a classic detached home in one of the city's increasingly sought-after neighborhoods. With a private driveway, off-street parking, and a detached garage, the property offers the kind of space and flexibility that is becoming harder to find in Washington, DC.
The existing home is ready for its next chapter and offers solid bones with generous square footage across three levels. The upper level features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, while the main level includes a traditional living room, formal dining room, kitchen, sunroom, convenient half bath, and an enclosed front porch that adds valuable additional living space. The basement has already been fully demoed, creating a blank slate for a new owner to design additional living space, an income-producing unit (buyer to verify), recreation area, or guest suite.
Beyond the property itself, the location offers outstanding convenience. Situated in the vibrant Brookland/Woodridge corridor, residents enjoy easy access to neighborhood favorites like Monroe Street Market, known for its dining, shopping, and local events, as well as nearby retail at Dakota Crossing featuring Costco Wholesale, Lowe's Home Improvement, and additional everyday conveniences. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate nearby Langdon Park Recreation Center and National Arboretum, while commuters benefit from quick access to Rhode Island Avenue, South Dakota Avenue, and Route 50, making travel into downtown DC, Washington, Maryland, and beyond seamless.
Whether you're an investor searching for your next project or an end user looking to create a custom dream home on an oversized lot, this is a rare chance to unlock tremendous potential in a location with strong long-term value. Property is being sold strictly as-is.
