Held by the same family for over 50 years, and now it's ready to be claimed by a new owner. 1139 44th Pl SE is an all-brick home sitting on approximately 4,800 sq ft of land, offering a real opportunity to step into a property with upside. The home is livable as-is but positioned for a full renovation, giving you the flexibility to expand or fully reposition based on your vision. The layout includes a basement with a separate entrance, and on the main level a front door and a side door off the kitchen, allowing for strong natural air circulation and functionality.   A driveway accommodating 4+ cars adds practical value that's hard to find, and the property sits on a wide residential street, giving it a more open feel than typical blocks. Located in Fort Dupont Park and near Hillcrest, the property is  less than a mile from Benning Road Metro Station, adding strong transit access. It is positioned within 10–15 minutes of Navy Yard, Capitol Hill, and the Anacostia waterfront developments, placing it within reach of some of the city's most active growth corridors. Renovated properties nearby are trading roughly in the $550K–$700K+ range depending on scope and finish, making this a strong play whether you plan to renovate, hold, or build it out your way.
