Property Description
Set within Brookland's celebrated streetscape of architecturally distinctive homes, 1811 Lawrence Street NE stands out for its scale, ornate presence, and early-20th-century Victorian-influenced design. Built in 1913 during Brookland's formative streetcar-suburb era, the home reflects a period when craftsmanship, proportion, and generous outdoor living were central to the neighborhood's development—contributing to the enduring character and residential appeal that define Brookland today.
Priced to reflect the opportunity ahead, the home offers a compelling foundation for a buyer ready to invest in updates and create something truly special. Its size, layout, and architectural details provide the rare chance to transform a substantial property into a long-term dream home while building meaningful equity along the way.
This three-story residence features five bedrooms, a traditional living room and formal dining room, and a bonus room off the primary bedroom—ideal for a home office, nursery, or private sitting area. Beautiful wood floors, tall ceilings, and windows on all sides bring in abundant natural light and emphasize the home's scale and classic proportions.
One of the property's defining features is the magnificent wraparound porch, delivering timeless curb appeal and generous outdoor living space rarely found today. The large unfinished basement spans the footprint of the home and provides substantial flexibility for future finished space, storage, or utility use.
The expansive lot includes private rear parking and a concrete pool in need of renovation, presenting an uncommon opportunity to reimagine the outdoor space for recreation, landscaping, or entertaining. The scale of both the home and the lot allows for meaningful improvements that can dramatically enhance livability and long-term value.
Located in vibrant Brookland, the home blends a residential, neighborhood feel with excellent access to Metro, Catholic University, Rhode Island Avenue, and major commuter routes, offering convenient connectivity to downtown Washington, DC while maintaining a sense of space and privacy.
With its Victorian-influenced architecture, generous square footage, and pricing aligned with the work ahead, 1811 Lawrence Street NE is a rare opportunity to create a personalized family home of substance and distinction in one of DC's most established and sought-after neighborhoods.
