Three lots sold together in Deanwood totaling 10,006 sq ft (0.23 acres) with completed architectural plans by Alex Sallah, a prolific NE DC architect. Six months of DC permitting is already done. A buyer here skips part of the process that often kills timelines. <br><br> Zoned R-2, the three lots are structured as two buildable parcels. 4911 and 4913 Hayes St NE (3,000 sq ft and 3,001 sq ft) are being administratively recombined into a single buildable lot to meet R-2's 4,000 sq ft minimum lot area, with Building Permit No. B2605988 submitted for a 7 bedroom, 5 bathroom single-family home on the combined parcel. 4915 Hayes St NE (4,005 sq ft) meets the minimum on its own and carries Building Permit No. B2605986, also submitted for a 7BR/5BA single-family home. Both plans allow up to 3 stories, 40 feet in height, and 40% lot occupancy. <br><br> A buyer isn't locked into the current plan, a buyer can instead build two semi-detached homes sharing a party wall, one on each of the existing record lots. <br><br> Both homes are designed around bedroom count for use as income units, not primarily for resale to an owner-occupant, though that remains possible. At 7BR/5BA, these are built for institutional or high-occupancy rental demand, which is where the return case is stronger than a straight per-square-foot resale comp. <br><br> Hayes St NE is an active corridor. The new construction detached home at 4820 Hayes St NE closed in March 2026 for $665,000; it is a 2,400 sq ft property with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The 150-unit Deanwood Hills redevelopment sits at 5201 Hayes Street NE on the same corridor, part of the District's New Communities Initiative investment in the neighborhood. Deanwood is served by the Deanwood Metro station (Orange/Blue/Silver), with Ward 7 continuing to see new residential delivery along Hayes, Jay, and Minnesota Ave NE. <br><br> All information deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Buyer to confirm.
