Hey, I thought that house was either up for sale or recently sold. However I could not find a listing on Redfin. Would be cool to see more of this odd house.

I believe that the first story used to be a liquor store back in the mid 90′s if this is the place on Lincoln I’m thinking of. That would explain the painfulness of the first floor. The store’s front entrance was bicked up and covered with the lattice work.

I bike by this every morning on my way to work. It did indeed formerly have a store space on the first floor with the door where the lattice now is, but its last business tenant had gone before I started riding by. I watched the renovation, hoping for a little more imagination in the conversion of the store space than materialized — but anything keeping the turret in place can’t go too wrong. (Yes, such buildings have had turrets and bays torn off, and worse. Thank whatever deities may be that didn’t happen here.)

That’s my house! Ha. We just moved here recently and as a first-time homebuyer I can tell you renovation is painful. Eckington is a nice little hidden secret of DC but I would really like to boycott the polluting FedEx trucks. Anyone have ideas on new paint colors?
