About this home
“From red-tag to ready-to-love”
A traditional brick DC rowhome exposed to a major fire and water event—DOB red tags, deep soot, and burned interiors tell the story of what once was. That’s the bad news.
The good news: it’s the right kind of ugly—a straightforward renovation that lets you rewire, replumb, re-insulate, and rebuild to the 2026 building code and align with today's buyer design preferences, without undoing anyone else’s mistakes. Once complete, you’ll have a clean, code-compliant home with brand-new systems, fresh finishes, and lasting value. There’s even space for a one-bedroom, one-bathroom basement suite with rear egress.
What Comes Next
Picture a brand-new, fully rebuilt, all-new-systems rowhome in desirable Anacostia/Fairlawn Community—minutes from parks, retail, and the Anacostia Metro. A Classic DC brick charmer meets modern living: light-filled spaces, a designer kitchen, 2–3 bedrooms, 2-3 baths, and a finished lower walk-out level. All anchored by worry-free systems packaged for the next decade.
Preferred Alley Access
1502 19th ST SE sits on a residential block with alley access and small park in the alley—a rare DC amenity that immediately boosts resale value. You’re not just buying a shell; you’re securing a brick-built footprint with a backyard in a centrally located, fast-developing neighborhood.
That alley access creates real design flexibility:
Room for a rear deck, bump-out (already included), or enclosed porch without changing the façade.
A rear entry that supports a potential rentable basement suite.
The potential for dual access—front entry for owners, rear for guests or tenants.
Easier construction logistics: materials and crews can enter from the alley, minimizing disruption.
Enjoy city life without the parking battle, just minutes from all that Anacostia Park offers: tennis courts, basketball courts, fishing, jogging paths, green lawns, and across the river from It’s the home stadium of the Washington Nationals (the National Baseball Club) the Navy Yard / Capitol Riverfront neighborhood, and the Wharf. You’re transforming a fire-damaged structure into a premium, turnkey, affordable home with square footage and features buyers and tenants will pay for.
