About 1735 Fraser Ct Nw
After your first glimpse of the historical Fraser Mansion carriage house, you will understand the unique opportunity it presents for the discerning homeowner 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. A singular property in the heart of the nation's capital, Fraser Court is one of the last remaining original carriage house structures in all of Northwest DC.
Built in 1892, this London-style carriage house is set in one of the most sought-after locations in the city – Dupont Circle. This property sits as the only address on a quiet side street just steps to DuPont circle and minutes from the White House and national mall. 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. At over 5,800 interior square feet in addition to a full length roof patio, this carriage house has a rich history serving estates from the 19th century, and more recently hosted celebrities and world leaders.
Today, an owner or 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. Fraser Court is a private, serene enclave perfect for a discrete buyer.
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.The home's zoning is RA-8.
