After your first glimpse of the historical Fraser Mansion carriage house, you will understand the unique opportunity it presents for the discerning owner or investor who wants the best parts of both living in a storied historical property and the benefits of designing a new home to your own tastes and specifications. Built in 1892, this London-style carriage house is set in one of the most sought-after locations in the city – Dupont Circle. The home boasts a distinguished and distinctive provenance, beginning as part of the original Fraser Mansion and more recently having been occupied by Oprah Winfrey’s interior designer, Anthony Browne. Today, an investment group will have the unique opportunity to reimagine this historical hidden gem as a single-family home of over 6,000 square feet with the option to include units that generate income as rentals. Alternatively, the space could accommodate five (or more) distinct units for a developer searching for an exclusive location to create a boutique condominium project. Already completed for the new owner is: the necessary demolition work, underpinning, plans, engineering reports, permits, FAR variance, and zoning approval. Also included in this offer is a complete set of fully-approved architectural plans by renowned DC architect Jerry Harpole. Interior parking stalls have been reserved on the first level of the home should the new owners choose, and an elevator shaft has been thoughtfully placed servicing all levels of the building. The current roof deck, which previously served as a secret garden/entertainment area, can be expanded with an already approved addition.
