Back in November I wondered what was going on with this great place located on 3rd Street, NW near the Anna J. Cooper Circle. I’m happy to see that some scaffolding has gone up. I can’t wait to see what it looks like when it’s fixed up.

This home is located at 302 T Street, NW:
The flier says:
“NW DC, Lovely Cooper Circle home, center of historic Ledroit Park. Two completely renovated, sep metered units w/ all amenities, move-in ready. Sunny 3 BR owner’s unit on flrs 2 & 3, open kit, hardwoods, lots of closets. Spacious 1 BR rental on main level covers almost 1/3 mtg pmnt! Perfect for FHA, 1st-time buyer rebate, NO CONDO FEES. Take G-2 Georgetown bus or Shaw Metro. (easy convert to SFH)”
You can find more info and photos here.
I love Anna J. Cooper Circle. What do you think of the renovation itself? How far a walk do you think it is to the shaw metro? And how much do you think you could charge for the rental unit?
Given the above does $649,900 sound reasonable?

This house on 4th Street near Elm in LeDroit Park is looking good.

I know folks have been excited about this beauty getting fixed up. I hadn’t seen much progress in a while but just noticed workmen last weekend. New windows are looking good:

Council Member Jim Graham sends an update of Ward 1 parks in an email:
“After the D.C. Council’s vote on Tuesday, December 14, to rescind $83 million in Parks and Recreation Contracts many of you called and wrote to me asking what that meant for Justice Park, Park View and LeDroit Park.
I am happy to report that these parks construction projects are already “back on track.” The Deputy Mayor for Economic Development has assured me that the $750K Justice Park project and the $1.2 million Park View project will be overseen by Allen Lew − Executive Director of the Office of Public Education Facilities Modernization − and will move forward. This is excellent news given the great speed and success with which Mr. Lew has handled school renovations and constructions.
The final project, the LeDroit Park (former Gage school transformation) will remain in the Deputy Mayor’s portfolio and the contract for the reconstruction will be re-bid and move forward.”

The details on some of the older houses are truly awesome. Just looking at the side of this house I loved the little round window, the chimney and the bay window. It made me wonder if a new house would ever be built in the future with such detail…

This sweet house is from LeDroit Park. I particularly liked the porch support beams:

This house is located at 525 U Street, NW:
The flier says:
“Move right into this light-filled modern city house built in 2001, on quiet, quaint street in charming historic LeDroit Park. Super location just off U Street Corridor, just minutes to U ST Metro. Off street parking (and tons of street parking), fenced backyard, storage shed and patio. Huge kitchen and living/dining room.”
More info and photos found here.
I really like the location of this house but I was a bit underwhelmed by some of the photos on the listing. What do you think of the house itself? Do you think $549,000 sounds reasonable for this 3 bed/2.5 bath row house?

This mansion on 3rd Street, NW near the Anna J. Cooper Circle has been in a sorry state for a while. I haven’t been able to track down how much it’s going for but maybe Hipchick can find out. Anyway, it reminds me a bit of the great old mansion in a similar state of disrepair off Monroe in Mt. Pleasant. What do you think would be a reasonable asking price for a huge home that obviously needs a ton of work?

Sadly the building itself is rather rundown but just looking at these numbers makes me think of the 1950s/60s.
