Last week Good Deal or Not Revisted (GDoN-R) looked at a recently renovated property on 12th Street NW. We’re still on 12th St, but shifted over to the Northeast quadrant of DC. This week’s subject is a detached home with a 500+ square foot lot, something we don’t usually see in DC for under $500,000., especially in renovated condition. As was noted in the original GDoN comments, the home does not have a finished basement and it is located on a somewhat busy street facing a gas station. Nonetheless, the Brookland neighborhood definitely has its fans.

Continues after the jump.

You can see what the home looked like pre-renovation by clicking on the listing link above, then click on the first link on the list. Someone mentioned in the original GDoN comments that the house had previously been a doctor’s office. The investor paid $225,300. cash for the foreclosed upon property in October after it had been on the market for 217 days (which I think of as a long time for something in DC in a not-horrible location that needed rehab).

The average net sold price for a detached single family home in the Brookland neighborhood for the time period from January 1, 2012 to the present date is $413,225. The most expensive detached home to sell in the neighborhood during this same time period went for a net of $563,000. Like many other neighborhoods in DC, Brookland has very limited current active inventory. As of 03/22/2012, there are only four active listings for detached homes. There are sixteen active listings for rowhomes, and only five active listings for condo units.
