The listing can be seen here: here.
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.)

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!
