2940 12th Street NE

For those home buyers out there who are looking for a live/work space that is a little bigger than that offered by the Brookland Artspace Lofts, This Week’s Find may fit the bill.

Having served as a grocery store, a non-profit and even a hair salon specializing in dreadlocks over the past two decades, 2940 12th Street NE is back on the market for the budding entrepreneur that wants to bunk upstairs.

The listing, located about six blocks south of the Brookland Metro, has a 900 square-foot main level with a 30-foot wall of windows that could make for good retail space, depending on the business, or a very open-to-the-street living room. Upstairs there is a two-bedroom apartment that needs some work, but it could be used as living space or an office for the eventual owner. The property also has an unfinished basement.
