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.
