1719 West Virginia Avenue NE is a 4-unit multifamily building located in the Northeast Washington, DC neighborhood of Trinidad.
THE OPPORTUNITY
1719 West Virginia Avenue NE is a 3,100 square foot multifamily property comprised of four (4) one-bedroom plus den units. Since acquiring the property in 2017, the current owner has undertaken a significant program of capital improvements, reducing near-term maintenance exposure for a new buyer. Enhancements include:
• Installation of synthetic wood flooring in all four units (back rooms)
• All new kitchen cabinets installed throughout
• Upgraded bathrooms with new sinks and vanities in each unit
• New plumbing system throughout the building
• New hot water heaters in all four units
• New washers and dryers in three of the four apartments
• Roof repairs (preventative maintenance completed)
• Fence construction at the rear of the property providing privacy from the alley
• Replacement of kitchen sink and faucet in one unit
• Replacement of central A/C system in one unit
These capital improvements complement the property’s strong physical fundamentals: each apartment offers in-unit washer/dryers, central A/C, individual hot water heaters, and dens that function as second bedrooms—broadening renter appeal to students and professionals alike. The building is currently 50% occupied, allowing an owner-occupant to reside in one unit while leasing the others, or an investor to stabilize the property as a fully leased, cash-flowing asset. The combination of modernized interiors, desirable layouts, and an attractive location proximate to Union Market, Gallaudet University, and Ivy City make 1719 West Virginia Avenue NE a compelling entry-level multifamily investment.
