One Shell of a House
The DC Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is selling the vacant house at 475 Florida Ave NW (corner of 5th St and Florida Ave). The house is a wreck and if you glance closely at the second story windows, you can see that part of the roof has fallen in. Even still, the brick façade is a gem and with $250,000 (and probably more) in work, the place could be livable again.
A timely renovation is a requirement of the sale, per DHCD rules. This requirement ensures that the buyer will actually renovate the place rather than letting it sit as an eyesore and community nuisance.
The list price is $225,000 and all offers are due by 5:00 pm on Friday, February 5, 2010.
