1708 LAWRENCE STREET NE

WASHINGTON, DC 20018

1708 Lawrence St NE is the one your buyers have been waiting for. In a city where fully detached single-family homes are scarce and true new construction is almost unheard of, this 2024 ground-up build stands in a category of its own. With a new poured concrete foundation, engineered roof trusses, modern systems, and future-ready efficiency features, it offers the peace of mind and low-maintenance lifestyle that renovated resales simply cannot match. Designed by architect Scott Patterson, the home blends classic architectural storytelling with modern function. Oversized eight-foot windows, elegant transoms, and thoughtful arches on the main level create a bright, seamless flow. A dramatic wood-accented stairwell with solid oak treads and custom millwork rises toward a skylight that pours natural light into the center of the home. The layout is both beautiful and flexible. The main level includes a true bedroom and full bathroom, ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or a private office. The upper level offers four additional bedrooms with excellent natural light. The walk-out lower level includes another bedroom and full bath, a generous family room, and a mudroom connected to the attached garage. Exceptional ceiling height, full-size windows, and direct outdoor access make the lower level feel bright and connected to the yard. Outside, the fenced rear yard features a private patio, eco-friendly rain garden, and permeable paver system that meets new river-safe surface requirements. In total, the home offers six bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and one half bath in a rare fully detached footprint. The attached garage is a major value add, and the large composite deck built above it creates a second outdoor living space that feels like a private retreat. The home is fully electric and designed for efficient, sustainable living. Features include a 400-amp underground electrical service, a 50-amp Level 2 car charger, dual Heil HVAC systems, a south-facing roof ready for solar panels, spray foam insulation, exterior continuous foam, ZIP insulated sheathing, and professional air sealing. Buyers will appreciate both the performance and long-term savings. Interior upgrades add warmth and personality, including custom window treatments, a full alkalized and pH-balanced water filtration system, and a reimagined front den currently used as a music lounge. The kitchen features quartz counters, custom cabinetry, an induction range, Fisher and Paykel appliances, and a wine and beverage refrigerator. Location completes the package. Just six blocks from major NE development, the home offers easy access to neighborhood staples like Zeke’s Coffee, the new Woodridge Library, local eateries, and The Harp. Brookland Metro, Monroe Street Market, the Arts Walk, and the seasonal farmers market are nearby. Rhode Island Avenue continues to grow with new shops and conveniences. Langdon Park and Pool, the Dwight Mosley Sports Complex, and nearby green spaces offer great recreation options. The newly renovated Burroughs Elementary is another strong investment in the neighborhood’s future. Fully detached, brand new, architect designed, future-ready, and ideally located, this home delivers a rare combination of form, function, and space. If your buyers have been waiting for an uncompromising lifestyle in the District, this is the one.
