Dear PoPville,
I have a 1912 Wardman rowhome in Eckington, designed by Albert Beers, 10 minutes from Big Bear and Rustik, on the G8 and 80 bus routes, about 12 minutes from Rhode Island Ave Metro Station. We’ve renovated but have kept all of the original details like trim, built-ins and parqkay floors. The house is spacious, move in ready, with a large yard and two parking spaces. We’re thinking of selling, but the realtor thinks that no one’s interested in houses with original character, and recommends pricing it well below other updated homes that have open floor plans and no original details, because she assumes that someone’s going to want to do a major upgrade. Is she right? Is no one interested in a historically interesting home? If he’s wrong, does anyone know of a DC realtor who specializes in selling homes with original character that aren’t a top of line upgrade?

From a press release:
2nd Street Community Partners, a joint-venture between Ward 5 real estate developers The Menkiti Group and Dantes Partners, announces construction will begin on Metropolitan Overlook – a sleek, modern residential condominium community in the Eckington neighborhood. The project is a rehabilitation of an existing 37-unit apartment building that has stood vacant for more than two decades.
A groundbreaking ceremony will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at the building site, 1831 2nd Street NE. Members of the press and local community are encouraged to attend.
Metropolitan Overlook will feature a mixture of market rate, workforce and affordable for sale condominium units. By joining forces with DC-based non-profit City First Homes, 2nd Street Community Partners has guaranteed that 11 of the 37 units will remain affordable in perpetuity. City First Homes will provide ongoing stewardship and support for affordable unit owners.
“We are committed to creating workforce and affordable housing of the highest quality – housing that is on par with market rate units across the District,” said Bo Menkiti, founder and chief executive of The Menkiti Group. “With this project, we intend to raise the bar on what is achievable in workforce and affordable housing and set new expectations in the marketplace.”
The development team acquired the building through a property disposition agreement with the District’s Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). A solicitation for development proposals was advertised to the public by DHCD in October 2010.
“The development of this project fits our mission to create and preserve affordable housing options for District residents or people interested in making this city their home,” said DHCD Director Michael P. Kelly. “As housing prices increase, our long term goal is to provide homeownership opportunities that remain accessible for low- to moderate-income households.”
The project was designed by Miner Feinstein Architects in collaboration with Indigo Engineering, M. A. Design Group, ReStl Designers and Capitol Engineering Group. Additional consulting services for the project were provided by Compass Design and Development and CDKM Consulting. The General Contractor is Keystone Plus Construction.

Dear PoPville,
I was driving home from work on Rhode Island Ave, near 2nd St NE, around 9:00pm and stopped at a red light. When the light turned green I saw the guy in the car in the lane next to me lean out his window and fire four shots (+/-) into the car behind me. The shooter went by me and drove off. I called the cops and gave as much info as I could, but I wonder if there are any alerts or others that saw it. I have no idea what happened to the person behind me, but hopefully they weren’t killed. I noticed the shooter driving oddly, but definitely didn’t expect that. I wish I got a better look at him and his license plate, but maybe someone else did.
