Description of 1417 Morris Rd, Washington, DC 20020
Listing details for 1417 Morris Rd, Washington, DC 20020 : Is there a Development Opportunity in SE Washington DC | R-3 Zoned Lot with Approved Plans and ADU Potential?
Prime development opportunity in Southeast Washington. This large R-3 zoned parcel offers exceptional flexibility for residential construction and is being sold with approved plans for a single-family home with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), providing an immediate by-right build opportunity.
The proposed build includes a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath primary residence plus a 2-bedroom, 1-bath ADU, creating a powerful house-hack or income-producing property. Live in one unit while renting the other to help offset your mortgage, or use the ADU for extended family, guests, or long-term rental income.
Why This Property Stands Out
• R-3 zoning in Washington DC allows row dwellings and attached single-family homes
• Large lot size may support the potential for multiple attached residences, subject to subdivision and District approvals
• Approved architectural plans included, saving months of design and planning time
• By-right construction potential for faster development timelines
• Ability to customize finishes and design selections
Ideal For
✔ Residential builders and developers
✔ Investors seeking DC development opportunities
✔ Buyers interested in house hacking with an ADU
✔ End users wanting to build a custom home in Washington DC
Multi-Lot Development Opportunity
Three additional nearby parcels are available, creating a rare opportunity to assemble up to four buildable lots in Southeast DC:
• 1416 1/2 Howard Road SE
• 1416 Howard Road SE
• 1415 Morris Road SE
Buy one, multiple, or all four lots to maximize development potential.
Located in a rapidly evolving section of Southeast Washington DC, this property offers strong long-term appreciation potential and convenient access to major employment centers, transit, and redevelopment corridors.
Buyer to independently verify zoning regulations, density, subdivision potential, permits, and development feasibility with the District of Columbia.
