Property Description

Embassy Row Opportunity - Developer's Dream with Pool Welcome to 2539 Massachusetts Avenue NW, an extraordinary property offering 7,884 total square feet of living space (including the lower level) on a 6,250 square foot lot with a private pool, set in the heart of historic Embassy Row in Kalorama.
