There's a new restoration taking place on the 1600 block of U Street SE - and it looks like it's gonna be great. (How do I know? Because it looks nasty now, and because the same folks just did one a few houses down)
a very typical "Anacostia look" house - awesome potential
the fake brick asphalt shingle siding has been mostly removed
looks like the porch floor needs a complete rebuild, but glad to see original columns and decorative elements in place
This is the house on the same block that the same builder just completed and sold. Looks great from the outside, and original wood siding was restored!
It makes such a big difference in the neighborhood when people actually care what the end product looks like ... the city and its future are very thankful.

That's Great...I hope they buy the one on my block and do the same (1400 V Street SE "The Yellow One! -Can't Miss It!" )
Yes, I know it well ... I hope so too!
(why stay Anonymous?? :)
Charles -- how happy are you about this?! LOL.
This is great! Each house restored, one at a time, is a victory for Anacostia...
The company is ANR Realty. I bought my house from them in Anacostia as well. They do great work!! Semi-difficult to deal with but the work is worth it!!
Yeah I told the buyer about this house. Thanks God!
awesome!
Just curious. How much did they pay for the shell of the House? And what will it cost to transform it?
I'm guessing they got it for sub-$100K and are putting about $100K into it. Will probably be in the property records..
