About This Home
An exceptional and rarely available commercial investment portfolio comprising three interconnected buildings situated at the heart of Washington, DC's most celebrated and culturally vibrant corridor — Historic U Street NW. This offering at 924–926 U Street NW and 1949 Vermont Avenue NW represents an extraordinary convergence of stabilized, income-producing retail and residential assets anchored by two thriving food-and-beverage operators, set within one of the District's most dynamic and historically significant neighborhoods. This is a true trophy offering: a corner-positioned, multi-building assemblage with immediate cash flow, long-term appreciation upside, and meaningful development optionality — all within steps of the U Street Metro Station. Immediate, Stabilized Income from Proven Operators The portfolio is anchored by two highly successful food-and-beverage tenants operating at 924–926 U Street NW: Service Bar — One of DC's most recognized and award-winning cocktail bars, consistently drawing local and national acclaim. A destination venue that generates strong, reliable foot traffic and has become a cultural institution on U Street. A Thriving Taqueria — A beloved and high-volume neighborhood restaurant concept, further solidifying the retail strength of the U Street frontage. These are not speculative tenants. These are proven, established operators with loyal customer bases and strong brand identities — providing the incoming investor with immediate, recurring income from Day One. The third building, located steps away at 1949 Vermont Avenue NW, adds a residential rental income component to the portfolio, further diversifying the revenue stream and enhancing overall asset stability. Originally constructed in 1888, this historic structure sits on a 598 SF corner lot within the Greater U Street Historic District and is currently configured for residential use.
