New Life for Old Firehouse!

You know that old firehouse on North Capitol Street NW that you have passed a million times when you are driving north on North Capitol, it’s on the left just after North Cap and Florida intersect. There have been rumors about redevelopment of that firehouse for years. Many of my clients have asked me about it as well, and about a year ago when I called the city about it they told me that it was being sold by the city to a developer.

Well, good news about the old firehouse. I read in last weeks Washington Business Journal that the old firehouse is being redeveloped as a 3 level restaurant. Here is an artist rendition of what the firehouse will look like when it is complete:

The firehouse is officially known as "Engine Co. 12 at 1626 North Capitol Street NW" and I drove past there earlier today and I am happy to report that dumpsters have been delivered and it appears they have begun demo of the inside.

The firehouse is in a great neighborhood known as Bloomingdale. I have been showing some amazing houses in Bloomingdale that feature the kind of architectural detail that the Hill offers, but for half the price! The Washington Post recently ran a nice piece about Bloomingdale titled "The Word is Out About Bloomingdale" which just about says it all! Click HERE to read the piece.

Of course, if you are interested in Bloomingdale, or any other part of the DC area, please don't hesitate to let me know and I am happy to show you some of the great deals that are on the market right now!
