Is there a Development Opportunity in SE Washington DC | R-3 Zoned Lot with Approved Plans and ADU Potential? Prime development opportunity in Southeast Washington. This large R-3 zoned parcel offers exceptional flexibility for residential construction and is being sold with approved plans for a single-family home with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), providing an immediate by-right build opportunity.
