Description:

Opportunity. Options. Untapped upside. 3243 Massachusetts Ave SE is a rare, flexible property sitting on a generous lot directly across from Fort Dupont Park, where space, income potential, and future vision all come together. It's the kind of home that works today… and gets even better tomorrow. Inside, the main residence delivers a 4-bedroom, 2-bath layout spread across multiple levels. It’s comfortable, livable, and ready for immediate use, with new appliances already in place to check a major box. The bones are here. The space is here. Now it’s your move to elevate it. Living room with fireplace. Eat-in kitchen with everyday functionality. Flexible main-level bedroom for guests or a work-from-home setup. Upstairs sleeping quarters that create separation and privacy. Downstairs, a fully separate 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment with its own entrance opens the door to real income potential. Rent it. Live in one, offset the mortgage with the other. Hold long-term. The options are strong, and they’re valuable. Step outside, and the lot tells a bigger, wider story. Large. Usable. Full of possibility. Two detached outbuildings sit at the rear. Both need work. One could remain pure storage. The other? Restore it, and you’ve got a backyard cabana, studio, workshop, or creative escape. This is where imagination meets equity. And then there’s the location. Direct access to trails, green space, and recreation at Fort Dupont Park. Moments to Anacostia Riverwalk Trail for biking, running, and riverfront views. Quick connections via Pennsylvania Ave SE and I-295. Easy access to the Minnesota Ave Metro Station for commuting downtown. This is not a fully polished product. That’s the point. It’s a property with presence. With potential. With paths forward. Live in it. Improve it. Invest in it. Expand on it. 3243 Massachusetts Ave SE is where value meets vision.
