Listed a week prior to the election result, this Capitol Hill WOD / Ditto JV renovation found its new owner a little more than a month later. Although reduced off the original list of over $1.8 million, it settled for a solid and substantial price. (more…)

645 Maryland Avenue, NE

Awesome! Thanks to Lori for sending: “Wow new garage on Maryland Ave NE looks great”

From OPaL:

“Tucked between the rowhomes of one of DC’s most storied neighborhoods, a long-time staple of the horseless carriage set is transforming into the darling of Capital Hill. The New Union Garage features three beautiful, one level homes, perfectly situated for city life and the sophisticates who live it. Each unit is ideally sized with 2-3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, garage parking and most with an outdoor terrace. An elevator leads to the two upper-level homes; a rooftop deck offering expansive city views for the penthouse. Pet parents will appreciate Stanton Park on the next block. And Washingtonians of every ilk will covet the location – five blocks from Union Station and seven blocks from both a Whole Foods and the seat of American power, the US Capitol. For those enamored with iconic DC living, this is it.

Unit 101:: Two level home, 2 bedrooms + den, garage parking – $1,750,000

Unit 201:: Single level home, 3 bedrooms, garage parking – $1,595,000

Unit 301:: Single Level Home, 3 bedrooms, garage parking – $2,000,000”

This property was originally priced very optimistically at $559,500., which is higher than what some nearby updated homes have been selling for.

Add Woodridge to the List

By Prince Of Petworth

woodridge

If you told me ten years ago…

True story – I had friends who lived in Woodridge years ago must’ve been around 2005 and I went to their house for a BBQ. It was around 22nd Street, NE. So I figured, I’d just walk to Rhode Island and catch a cab when I was ready to go. This was before Lyft and Uber. So it’s relatively early like maybe 8 or 9pm. I walk to Rhode Island Ave and there are zero cabs. A big old goose egg. OK, I’m a walker (I walked to the BBQ but knew walking all the way home wasn’t a great option), so I figure what the hell I’ll just walk until I see a cab. hahaha It’s easy to forget the former cab dead-zones. There were many. It used to be impossible to catch a cab at Wonderland if you can believe that. Anyway, I get about 1 block on Rhode Island and this lady who must’ve been 70 years old or so makes a beeline straight towards me and says – “where are you going?” I say, I’m walking towards the metro and trying to catch a cab. She says “oh no you’re not.” She physically grabs me and walks to the bus stop and waits with me and RIDES WITH ME to the metro (I think it was Brookland) to make sure I got there OK. I’ll never forget that night. That by the by, is a very good example for those who ask me about the meaning of the beautiful life.

Anyway, enough about me, check out this listing I spotted while looking for today’s GDoN:

“Rare Opportunity in Hot Woodridge! Large Luxurious Custom Home awaits. Chef’s kitchen w/ Viking Pro cooking appliances and built in banquette. Huge Dramatic master suite*Home Theater*Remote A/V control*5 Bedroom suites with full baths*Elevator shaft-potential for disability access*Imagine Enjoying Spring days on rear deck*blocks from new Shops at Dakota Crossing Town Center”

This house at 2921 26th Street, NE is going for $1,299,999.

I can imagine what my guardian would have to say about this…

Last week, Good Deal or Not Revisited reviewed the settled sale in Eckington of a lower level duplex condo units converted from a previous single family home. (You can see that post here.) In relation to that post, Commenter JS wrote: “I think there’s a little bit of a bubble bursting in these two unit buildings, at least when it comes to the lower level units. In my neck of the woods, pop-up top units seem to sell fairly quickly at close to list while the lower level ones sit for months and only move after a few significant (20K+) price reductions.” (more…)

The legal subdivision of Eckington spans from the Met Branch Trail along the east side, to Florida Ave at the south end, all the way to Rhode Island Ave on the north end. Technically, to the west it sprawls across North Cap to include the Florida/Rhode Island/North Cap triangle on the NW side. North Capitol Street is a defining physical boundary, in addition to being the edge of the NW/NE quadrant and thus, for data purposes, we’ll call that triangle the south side of Bloomingdale, and will stick to referring to the Eckington neighborhood as being in the NE quadrant.

“A 25,197-square-foot lot has just hit the market for $5.6 million, next door to the French Ambassador’s residence”

From a press release:

“A 25,197-square-foot lot has just hit the market for $5.6 million, next door to the French Ambassador’s residence. Known for its lavish parties and famous neighbors, the French government is selling the unused land. The available lot is a combination of three parcels, totaling just over one-half acre of property. The lot borders Kalorama Circle NW. Alex Venditti of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s Dupont/Logan Circle office has the co-listing.

“This is the first time in four decades that I’m aware of when residentially zoned, raw land has been available for purchase in Kalorama and is being offered on the open market,” said Vendetti.

The residence and property located at 2221 Kalorama Road was acquired by France in 1936. Built in 1911 and designed by Parisian architect Viscount Jules Henri de Sibour, the home was designed for large-scale entertaining. After its construction, the adjacent lots were purchased for added privacy. In 1941, under a new ambassador, additional lots were purchased that overlooked Kalorama Circle. (more…)
