    *DC HOUSING AUTHORITY AUCTION* List price is opening bid. Online Auction Only! Bidding begins Saturday, May 16th and ends Thursday, May 21, 2026 at 12:00 PM. Alex Cooper Auctioneers has been engaged by the District of Columbia Housing Authority to sell at auction an exceptional value-add opportunity in the heart of Washington, DC. Located in the vibrant Old City 2 neighborhood, this property presents a prime redevelopment project for investors, developers, or end-users seeking to customize a home to their exact specifications.

Below is an excerpt from the DC Zoning Handbook on RF-1 Zoning: "The purpose of the RF-1 zone is to provide for areas predominantly developed with row houses on small lots within which no more than two (2) dwelling units are permitted. In the RF-1 Zone, 2 dwelling units may be located within the principal structure or 1 each in the principal structure and an accessory structure."
