If you haven’t seen it recently, the grand house at 32nd and Clay Streets is undergoing a dramatic renovation. The property was briefly on the market back in August, and will be available again in the near future – though the price is TBA. The large brick house is being returned to a single family home, after housing group homes of various sorts for a number of years.
The house dates back to 1854,and was one of the properties detailed by Madge Goodrich for her 1936 WPA reporting. (Below, From the Library of Virginia)

Any bets on what it’ll be listed for? I’m gonna guess $550k.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see it listed at $699 depending on restoration quality. It looks like it has a lot of square footage.

@Mike – I would also point out that it had outbuildings/dependencies. Not sure if those are still there, but that means there is a lot of land and the possibility of a guesthouse, rental unit, workshop/office, etc.
Are they not also restoring the exterior? What about rebuilding the 3 of 4 collapsed chimneys? The Google aerial view shows what looks like a Widow’s Walk was also once on the roof? Must have been gone by the 1936 photo?
I am glad it is being put back as a single family home. Personally I would put the front back original as well with the smaller porch and shutters.
