Last week I revisited a property just north of Dunbar High School. This one is a short distance south of Dunbar, on a quiet one way street that is tucked just off of New Jersey Avenue, seconds (if you hit the lights right) from the third street tunnel. I was sent a heads up about this property closing by one of my own clients, who settled on a property on the same block a couple of weeks ago, for which he is planning to do extensive renovation. Continues after the jump.
Commenters indicated that this property was on the smaller side with tiny exterior space, but does have the benefit of an inlaw suite. The listings of this property from both 2000 and 2004 note that a renovation was completed in 2000. Unfortunately, there were no interior shots, but the current listing suggests that the latest seller had made numerous upgrades to a “modern minimalist” style.
The owner from 2000 to 2004 is recorded as Brian R Brown. I wonder if this is the same Brian R Brown, the developer, who did the complete restoration of the Anna J. Cooper house in LeDroit Park and owns the firehouse on North Capitol St NW? I initially figured that Brian may have done the 2000 renovation, but the listing from that timeframe states that it was already “remodeled”.
This is one of those areas that is seeing revitalization post-crazy DC real estate boom. Here is the recent sales history for this property:
May 2000: $115,000.
November 2004: $332,500.
October 2009: $457,500. Less $3000. subsidy

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!
