This home is positioned within a six minute walk to the Potomac Ave Metro, and it is notable that this pocket south of Pennsylvania Ave in the east Capitol Hill neighborhood still boasts average fee simple house prices below $700,000. In contrast, settled fee simple sales within blocks, on the north side of Pennsylvania Ave, close to the Potomac Ave Metro, average in the high $900,000’s.

Despite having a single bathroom, the subject property went under contract within two weeks. This home was updated with central air and an open kitchen layout. In 2017, three bedroom homes in the legal subdivision of Old City #1 in the SE quadrant with only one full bath sold for a median price of $650,000. Three bedroom houses in the same area with a second full bath sold in 2017 for a median price of $760,000., while three bedroom houses in the area with three full baths sold for a median price of $936,000.

The listing agent for this transaction was Justin Paulhamus with M Squared Real Estate, LLC. George Lima III, with Keller Williams Capital Properties, represented the Purchaser.
