The subject property exhibits a plaque stating that Duke Ellington resided in the home from 1919-1922. This raised the question in the comments to the original GDoN post as to whether famous inhabitants have an influence on the value of a particular property? (Which garnered the response from another commenter, “How many houses in DC did this guy live in? Seems Like a lot.”)
In this case, it appears that the sale price does not reflect the cache of its former occupant. However, there could be a great historic element to bring in to the marketing on the post-renovation side (if it was purchased by someone with the intent to renovate and sell, which we do not actually know.)
Settled sales in the immediate neighborhood around Sherman, between Morton and Barry Place, 11th-ish and Georgia) over the past six months have ranged from $285,000. for a one bedroom condo, to $1,150,000. for a 2 bedroom condo on the 700 block of Morton St NW.
