I believe this is the first piece of dirt we’ve looked at for Good Deal or Not Revisited. Unimproved land is a challenge to price because the value is basically in what you can ultimately do with it. That makes the zoning code extremely important.
In this case, the lot is zoned R-1-B. To find out what that means, you can go to the very handy DC Zoning website and look up that particular code.
Land is generally going to transact to developers, in part because it is a huge challenge for owner occupants to get financing for unimproved ground. This is because there is a ginormous amount of risk for a lender, given all the unknowns regarding how the land can legally be used, architectural plans, obtaining permits, dealing with ANC and other neighborhood approvals, identifying a reliable General Contractor and sub contractors, etc. And this listing mentions being in a historic district, which adds another layer.
The listing agent for this sale was Carrie Brown with Tristar Realty Inc. Moises Reyes with Marathon Real Estate represented the buyer in this transaction.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
