Description:

530 Oglethorpe St NE – Washington, DC (Riggs Park) Located on a prominent corner lot in the heart of Riggs Park, this detached home offers a rare combination of strong fundamentals, flexible layout, and outstanding upside in one of Northeast DC’s most conveniently located neighborhoods. With a newer roof, solar panels, and updated HVAC, many of the costly capital improvements are already complete — giving the next owner a major head start on renovation or personalization. The level lot provides ample space to add off-street parking, a highly sought-after feature in this area, and the basement with side exterior access creates excellent potential for a future rental suite, in-law space, or expanded living area. Riggs Park is known for its easy access to downtown DC, Silver Spring, and the Maryland suburbs, with nearby Fort Totten Metro (Red, Green & Yellow Lines), major commuter routes including South Dakota Ave, Riggs Rd, New Hampshire Ave, and Route 29, and quick connections to I-495 and I-295. Residents enjoy proximity to local parks, playgrounds, trails, and community centers, as well as convenient shopping and dining options in Brookland, Takoma, and Silver Spring. Offered as-is, this home is a prime opportunity for investors, builders, or owner-occupants looking to create equity and design a custom home in a neighborhood that continues to see strong demand and appreciation. Bring your vision and unlock the full potential of this Riggs Park corner-lot opportunity.
