Last week Good Deal or Not Revisited (GDoN-R) looked at living large in Trinidad. This week we review a recent sale of a petite house in Truxton Circle.

As noted in the original GDoN comments, this property has a tumultuous sales history over the past decade. The earliest record of a sale in public records was twenty years ago when the home sold for $30,000. Here is what the property looked like in 2005 when it sold for $185,000. In 2007, the multiple listing service shows an attempt to market the property at $620,000. It eventually sold for $589,000. (per public records), and was foreclosed upon shortly thereafter in 2008. It sold again as a foreclosure at $225,750. in 2008. Public records report another sale in 2009 at $484,093.

If you think this sale was expensive per square foot, recall nearby 455 Q St NW, a recent GDoN-R, which sold for $755,000. Tax records identify the living area square footage at 1330. The lot size was larger at 1425.

The listing agent was David Thomas of RE/MAX Allegiance. Ty Voyles of Keller Williams Capital Properties (per the disclosure above, this is the same brokerage company that the writer is affiliated with) represented the purchaser.

Dear PoPville,

Last summer I read a few stories about Garden State, an outdoor bar (a la Standard) aiming to open on New Jersey Ave near Q St NW. This would be such an amazing addition to the neighborhood. Have you heard any news on whether the proprietor is still planning/aiming to move forward? I would go! Frequently!!

I’m sorry to say that an outdoor beer garden is not coming to New Jersey and Q St, NW in Truxton Circle. I stopped by over the weekend and the space has become 2nd Time Around selling clothes, furniture, and other household items. Soon they will be offering consignment sales as well. Also in the future they plan on having regular flea market rentals for the outdoor space.

Thanks to @JRogers202 for tweeting us the update:

“post on Chapman Stables in #TruxtonCircle – it is now in the DC Inventory of Historic Sites – no razing”

From the Historic Preservation Review Board:

After careful consideration, the Historic Preservation Office recommends that the Board revise the boundaries of the proposed landmark application to include only the garage and stable building at 37-57 N Street, NW on Square 617 Lot 215, and that the Board designate the building a Historic Landmark to be entered into the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites. Staff recommends that the Board forward the nomination to the National Register with the identified revised boundaries. Staff further recommends that the property name be Chapman Coal Company Stable and Garage to more fully reflect the history of the property.

There are several blocks of century old properties in this area (identified as Shaw in the agent’s comments) that were originally structured as two flats. In addition to Q St NW, these can be found on Bates and P St NW, on both the Shaw and Truxton Circle side of the neighborhood. Typically, they have two front doors…one that led straight in and the other that opened to the stairs heading to the upper flat. A large number of this style of home was built by the prolific Harry Wardman ,(further disputing my contention that there is not a single “Wardman Style”. While many of these properties have been converted into single units, it’s not surprising that some folks are finally getting around to dividing these into a condo ownership structure.

The building was last transferred as a fee simple two unit building (with two 2 bedroom flats) in 2003. It was sold as condos in 2007, with the units selling at net $304,500. and $302,000. respectively.

Per the listing information, John Williams with RE/MAX All Pro was the disclosed dual agent representing both the buyer and seller.
