This Week's Find: H Street For The Industrious

• January 26th 2011

by Mark Wellborn

This Week’s Find is meant for an investor or perhaps an entrepreneur that has dreams of opening up a small business or maybe even someone with a good deal of cash on hand that wants to live above a store that they can rent out.

1360 H Street NE, the former home to Sweets n’ Treats, is a two-floor building along the H Street Corridor that has retail space on the first floor and was formerly a two-bedroom apartment on the second floor. There is also a garage in back that used to be an artist’s studio. The property is zoned as C-2A, so the buyer would be in accordance with city zoning ordinances with a store on the 940 square-foot first level and a residential unit on the second level.

Properties like this one have been selling for anywhere between $300,000 and $630,000 in the area, but the eventual owner will need to put somewhere between $100,000 to $150,000 in renovations into the listing to bring it up to snuff. (Note: Lydia DePillis recently caught up with Joe Englert, who owns a number of bars and restaurants along H Street NE, to talk about property prices in the neighborhood.) The location of this listing is very well-positioned for foot traffic, though, as it is across the street from Rock and Roll Hotel and a block from Smith Commons, the area’s newest trendy restaurant.
