A truly one-of-a-kind 1,400+ square-foot commercial property in the heart of Columbia Heights, ideally positioned on vibrant 11th Street NW beside neighborhood favorites Wonderland Ballroom and Buddys. For nearly two decades, this whimsical two-story space has been home to BloomBars, a beloved community arts institutionand there is simply nothing else quite like it.
Every centimeter of this property oozes charm, creativity, and whimsy, surrounding its patrons with a sense that anything truly is possible. From its towering giraffe to its colorful faade and spectacular mural, the building has become an unmistakable landmark along one of Columbia Heights most adored neighborhood corridors.
The location is exceptional. Not only is this surrounded by cult classic establishments, this block is home to Columbia Heights Day and Sundress Fest, as well as various other full and packed street festivals multiple times a year! Just three blocks from the Columbia Heights Metro and the neighborhoods major retail hubincluding Target, Best Buy, Chipotle, Starbucks, Giant and Marshallsthe property sits at the intersection of an established residential neighborhood and one of Northwest DCs busiest commercial districts. The Petworth Metro is approximately half a mile to the north, while the restaurants, nightlife and entertainment of the U Street Corridor begin roughly a mile to the south. Yet 11th Street maintains the intimate, independent neighborhood character that has made this particular stretch of Columbia Heights so special and includes some of DCs most popular bars, been gardens, breakfast nooks, the columbia heights dog park (11th and Bark), the community garden, and bookended by not one but two popular playgrounds.
Along the side of the building is one of the neighborhoods most memorable murals, with inspiration drawn directly from the surrounding community. Its intricate design and exuberant colors have helped define this little 11th Street paradise since its installation. And, of course, the approximately 15-foot giraffe standing watch over the property makes this special commercial gem nearly impossible to miss.
The entrance is equally special. Guests arrive through a small, peaceful Zen-like courtyard surrounded by garden boxes and greenery, offering privacy and shade while providing flexible space for bicycles, strollers, or entertainment. A metal security gate, accessible entrance ramp, and double outward-swinging entry doors provide a welcoming and functional arrival.
Inside 10-foot ceilings, rustic exposed rafters, exposed patterned brick, enormous south-facing windows, and distinctive mid-century-inspired details create a warm, dramatic space with natural light.
The existing performance venue has been thoughtfully optimized for entertainment, with a dedicated stage, professional lighting infrastructure, and an elevated DJ/control booth ingeniously tucked inside the hull of a suspended boatan unforgettable centerpiece that perfectly captures the spirit of the property.
The building is equipped with HVAC as well as supplemental heating and cooling systems. Behind the stage is an HVAC and utility closet. The second floor provides a dedicated area suitable for an office, along with a restroom and additional storage space, offering valuable behind-the-scenes functionality without sacrificing the main-level commercial and performance areas. The rear of the property is fully fenced and provides additional space for storage and operational needs.
The property is located within MU-4 zoning, offering mixed-use flexibility and potential for a variety of commercial, residential, and mixed-use applications, subject to applicable District of Columbia zoning regulations and approvals. Buyers are enco
