Opportunity Knocks – Iconic Columbia Heights Carriage House!
Discover the most distinctive property in Columbia Heights — a one-of-a-kind, single-level stone-front carriage house offering a rare blend of urban charm and modern potential. Formerly a storefront, this unique space was fully renovated in 2014 and transformed into a stunning residential home.
Boasting a large storefront picture window, sidewalk frontage, and soaring 14-foot ceilings, this property delivers that vibrant café-style energy right at home. Flooded with natural light from both front and rear entrances, the open-concept floor plan features marble flooring, a sleek breakfast bar, and true SoHo loft vibes in the heart of Washington, DC.
Zoning flexibility opens exciting possibilities:
Add up to two additional levels
Convert back to a storefront (zoning change required)
Maximize buildable square footage via air rights
Ideal for the visionary buyer or investor seeking something bold, stylish, and packed with potential.
Location Perks: Perfectly positioned just steps from the Reservoir District at McMillan, a transformative new development featuring retail, dining, university, and hospital anchors. Metro accessible and centrally located with quick access to downtown DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia, this is an unbeatable opportunity in a high-growth corridor.
Live. Create. Invest. This carriage house is your canvas.
