One of the last original carriage houses in Northwest DC, located at 1735 Fraser Court NW in the heart of Dupont Circle, is now on the market.

The home is prepped for a complete renovation—with the necessary demolition work, underpinning, plans, engineering reports, permits, FAR variance and zoning approval all complete. This unique buying opportunity is for the discerning buyer who wants the best parts of both living in a storied historical property and the benefits of designing a new home to their own tastes and specifications.

The London-style carriage house was originally built in 1892 as part of the Frasier Mansion, an important landmark on a quiet side street just steps from Dupont Circle. After being privately owned for decades, the mansion became a tea room, restaurant and night club before again becoming a private residence for owners including Oprah Winfrey's interior designer. The property has a rich history serving estates from the 19^th century, and more recently hosted celebrities and world leaders.

Now, the new owner (or an investment group) will have the unique opportunity to reimagine the hidden gem as a 6,000 square-foot single-family home with the option to include units that generate income as rentals. Alternatively, the space could accommodate five or more distinct residences for a developer searching for an exclusive location to create a boutique condominium project.

Included in the offer for 1735 Fraser Court NW is a complete set of fully-approved single-family-home plans by renowned DC architect Jerry Harpole. The plans include four bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms, as well as unique details like exposed brick, skylights and a billiards room. In addition, interior parking stalls have been reserved on the first level, and an elevator shaft has been thoughtfully placed servicing all floors. The current roof deck—which previously served as a secret garden/entertainment area—can also be expanded with an already approved addition. The home's zoning is RA-8.
