Juan’s House is for sale

If this thing doesn't move over the next couple of weeks, I'd imagine he might offer to rent it to Gore or Cavalli or one of the current Nats.  For a player without kids at this point, it is probably nice space.

It’s a pretty random location relative to Nats park

quiet.  easy enough commute.  also probably up to an MLB player's standards.  May prefer that to a penthouse in Clarendon.  Also not immediately impacted by Amazon.

If I was a player on the Nats I'd rent one of those apartments beyond the outfield.

It’s 10 minutes from the Heidelberg Bakery.

this is key.  We once had a donut competition in our office comparing various products.  Of course, I had to represent Dunkin Donuts even though I think their donuts are trash, but the Heidelberg's were some of the best offerings.  I think this may have been before Astro.  The best were an outfit from Maryland, Fractured Prune.  I forgot the name until I just googled it.  I remembered it sound like Dear Prudence. It was unfair to compare the DD stuff to those outfits because FP made them to order while DD now bakes them centrally in some location and ships them to their stores. DD held its own against Krispy Kreme, IIRC.

By the way, I always told folks you don't go to Dunkins for the donuts, you go for the coffee.  They realized this and dropped the second D.  I would have gone to "Dunkins" rather than "Dunkin" because that's what they are called (or Dunks).

5-6, 3 doubles, HR, to start the spring. He's in regular season form.

At $1 million for a quarter-acre lot on Williamsburg it's a borderline teardown, no matter how nice it is inside.

it's the low end in the neighborhood. Some folks target that.  It's possible the kid doesn't know real estate value and was taken, but I don't suspect he lacked advice. Yes, it probably could be torn down and built out to the max of the zoning code.  It probably was very comfortable and fit a priority for family visits.

I had a lot of equal size on Capitol Hill, that now has 5 houses on it. So yeah, it could be worth substantially more. As JCA points out, zoning may be an issue.

Never fear, bureaucrats and developers seem to be planning to make it not an issue in Arlington:

5 houses on a .23 acre lot. Sounds like a crowded situation.

The value of anything in that area under $1.25 or so is basically land.  Not that I own such a house or anything.
