Real Estate
I remember this house being featured before (the Lionel Richie house). Thought people would be interested to see it sold and at probably one of the higher single family home prices in Bloomingdale – Sold for 1.375M.

812 Seventh Street, NW
WAMU reports:
“After nearly 20 years in D.C.’s Chinatown, the Goethe-Institut Washington is saying “auf wiedersehen” to its building on 7th Street Northwest. Director Wilfried Eckstein says the landlord wants to raise the rent by more than 60 percent, so the German cultural center will move to K Street Northwest, near Farragut Square, in December.”
The report also says the new spot will be temporary (3 years) and won’t be able to show films. The Goethe-Institut will continue to look for a permanent home.
Thanks to a reader for sending word that the GDoN “awesome ‘pool-ready’ massive backyard” edition house at 1349 Otis Street, NE sold for a cool million bucks in Brookland on October 2nd. Please enjoy the comments to that post… And congratulations Brookland homeowners – you can now easily refinance/get a home equity loan and add that new kitchen you’ve been pining for!
Ed. Note: The house was seriously pretty dope:

Realtor seems to think that based on comps, I could only get up to $1750. Initially wanted to sell, then I looked into renting and when I saw the estimates, rethinking that I should sell for around 300K (this is just a guess of mine).
How much would you rent it for and would you buy it at the above price?”

From a press release:
“Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage agent James Kastner, of the Dupont office, has just listed a remarkable property at 2037 1st Street NW. The home, which was once both the neighborhood eyesore and earsore, with loud music playing all night long, has been fully renovated and is now the jewel of the neighborhood. It is being presented for $1.299 million.
Ed. Note: the email said “Apparently, the former owner used to play Lionel Ritchie music on repeat… all night long.”
Ed. Note: that is a terrible/awesome pun.
“The home was literally falling down, and was the source of much concern and frustration for the neighbors,” remarked Kastner. “Now, though, it has been completely rebuilt from the ground up, with meticulous care and stunning details, and is the Grande Dame of the street.” (more…)
