Located just south of Bloomingdale in Truxton Circle, west of NOMA, and east of Shaw, this Formstone coated Victorian settled more than 6% below list price. These Victorians tend to be smaller in scale than their larger cousins in Bloomingdale, however, they are in close proximity to the New York Ave Metro, the Bloomingdale Farmer’s Market, Big Bear Café, and the numerous new restaurants in the area.

Truxton Circle was a bit overlooked during the big renovation boom of the (Pre-NOMA development) early to mid 2000s, so although there are plenty of renovated properties being sold, houses in need of TLC can still be found.

Whereas a few years ago, $600,000. was a benchmark for “up and coming” neighborhoods, that now seems like a bargain in relation to the increasing seven figure sales in surrounding neighborhoods.

That said, a petite 2 bedroom 1.5 bath updated home with a porch and fenced yard sold on the 1500 block of 3rd St NW recently for net $579,500. A house on nearby Bates Street is under contract with a list price of $575,000.. It was marketed as an “Investors Dream” with “Condo potential”.

The listing agent for this property was Monica Daniels with Wisdom Realty, LLC. Per the listing, Ms. Tracey Williams, also with Wisdom Realty, LLC, assisted the Buyer as a sub agent of the Seller.
