“Just needs a little TLC”
This ubiquitous phrase is a frequently trending topic in the world of MLS remarks. Is TLC the newest and greatest home feature? Probably not, but every once in awhile you may also find a “diamond in the rough,” “excellent bones” or “character” as well — the trifecta of DC fixer uppers!
Although these homes haven’t reached unicorn status, if you have a little extra TLC to give, here are 5 homes that could use it!
This 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home features a “breathtaking view,” along with a large lot and long private driveway. With enough textured ceiling to try all of the Pinterest hacks you can find, the only thing missing — “a little TLC and your personal touch.”
Located in Brentwood, this home presents a chance to live in “Little Rome.” Slightly mysterious with its limited internal photos, we’ll trust the remarks that, along with its convenient location, and loads of character this one “just needs TLC.”
This “lovely 4 sided brick rambler” has features that include vintage kitchen cabinets (that may be coming back into style at some point), a party-ready basement, rec room with a built-in bar, hardwood floors, and 2 fireplaces! As an added bonus, this one also comes with “lots of love to give.” As you may have guessed it “just needs some TLC and vision.”
A mix of old and new in Riggs park featuring original hardwood flooring, classic aluminium awnings and an updated kitchen and bathrooms. No need to worry about street sweeping tickets with this one, it has a brick garage out back for off street parking. Lots of potential, and like the others on our list “needs TLC.”
In the “almost but not quite $1m” category on our list, this “vintage” Columbia Heights rowhome proves that price range and TLC are not mutually exclusive. The gorgeous original wood trim and doors are in great condition and “with your vision and TLC this home will be a real gem.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
