An iconic landmark on Western Avenue at the border of Maryland and Washington, D.C. has just hit the market for sale. The Western Market property at 4840-4842 Western Avenue could be yours for $1,375,000. That's relatively cheap, when you consider what new residential housing at a prime location like this would sell for - and that's what's likely to replace the market, as its exemption to operate a retail market here has expired.
The 8000-square-foot site is zoned R-60, for single-family detached housing. It is walking distance from the Friendship Heights Metro, the commercial areas of Friendship Heights and Spring Valley, and Fort Bayard Park. As always, check with Montgomery County and a good land use attorney to determine what is, and is not, possible here. Bethesda-based AMR Commercial, LLC is marketing the property, with brokers Sam Farnum and William Montrose.

That is iconic for sure. Went there a few times over many years. I don't recall that I ever had anything terrific there to eat. If a small business could possibly afford it, it would be a great spot for a deli or butcher shop. There are probably way more talented food people in the area than in years past. Bonfields garage, on MacArthur, was saved and turned into a bbq place. Don't know if that's any good. But keep these great buildings going. Dont' knock down and don't make that site residential.
