Description

Spacious Cape Cod on a corner lot in Woodridge, offering 2,718 total sq ft with 4 bedrooms (plus additional dens and bonus rooms throughout) and 5 full bathrooms. A protective sprinkler system is installed on all three levels, making the home well-suited for residential assisted living use. The main level features an open-concept layout with a kitchen offering upgraded, extended countertops, pendant lights, recessed lighting, a gas stove, and a dishwasher. The interior has been newly painted and new LVP flooring and carpet (2026) have been installed throughout. Ample storage is available on the upper level and in the basement. Exterior features include beautifully refreshed landscaping (Aug 2026), a classic front porch, a spacious, fenced rear yard, a storage shed, and rear driveway.

Investor opportunity: the current owner had planned to convert the property into a group home for young adults, expanding to 9 bedrooms and 5 full baths under a previously approved alteration permit for up to 5,000 sq ft. NOTE: current MLS tax figures reflect ownership by a church entity and DC's vacant-property rate; taxes will reset to the standard rate once purchased as a primary residence.

Located in Woodridge, a quiet, tree-lined Northeast DC neighborhood along the Rhode Island Avenue NE corridor, home to local coffee shops, restaurants, and DC Brau, the city's first craft brewery. Nearby recreation includes Langdon Park Recreation Center (fields, courts, and a pool) and Barnard Hill Park, with the Costco and Home Depot near the Rhode Island Ave-Brentwood Metro station covering everyday shopping needs; Catholic University and the Brookland arts district sit just to the west. The property is also close to The Shops at Dakota Crossing along New York Avenue at the DC/Maryland line, with easy access to Route 50 and I-495. Rhode Island Ave-Brentwood Metro provides Red Line service, and Union Station (Amtrak) is roughly 3 miles away.
