Embassy Row Opportunity – Developer’s Dream with Pool

Welcome to 2539 Massachusetts Avenue NW, an extraordinary property offering 7,884 total square feet of living space (including the lower level) on a 6,250 square foot lot with a private pool, set in the heart of historic Embassy Row in Kalorama.

Built in 1923, this stately brick residence retains its grand proportions and architectural pedigree, with soaring ceilings, expansive formal rooms, multiple fireplaces, and elegant details throughout. Now in need of a total renovation, the home presents a rare opportunity for developers, investors, or visionary end-users to transform a legacy property into a modern masterpiece.

The generous lot and private pool provide space for entertaining, gardens, and terraces—rare amenities in one of Washington’s most prestigious neighborhoods.

Perfectly positioned along Massachusetts Avenue’s Embassy Row, this property is just minutes from Dupont Circle, Georgetown, Rock Creek Park, and the city’s finest schools, cultural institutions, and dining.

2539 Massachusetts Avenue NW offers limitless potential—a landmark address ready to be reimagined into a showcase residence.
