Former funeral home near 16th Street Heights to see new life as an apartment building

A funeral home near 16th Street Heights is expected to be demolished and replaced with an 18-unit, multi-family apartment building. As first reported by Washington Business Journal, the 5,100-square-foot funeral home at 4804 Georgia Avenue NW was recently listed for sale for $1.75 million and is presumably under contract.

A Rockville, Maryland-based affiliate of BlueWater Development plans for the new residential development to have a green roof, rooftop terrace, four vehicular parking spaces, and six bicycle spaces.

The site was the former location of the Grace Murray Funeral Home, which is now located at 5635 Eads Street NE
