Christmas is 4 days away and if you’re reading this, then you probably know people holding open houses this weekend are often last-ditch efforts to get a buyer before the end of the year.
So if you’re still in the District and avoiding the mass DMV escape days, then this weekend is perfect to check out some of our suggested open houses (keep in mind there aren’t very many either). To see the entire DC Open House List, click here.
- 6217 8th Street NW — $674,900 — Brightwood
Open Sat. 2-4 p.m. — Balaram Owens
Renovated 3 BR semi-detached row home needs no work, so leave your worker elves at home. - 1001 L Street NW #509 — $479,500 — Mount Vernon Square
Open Sat. 1-3 p.m. — Sheena Saydam
Listed as a 2 BR, it’s actual a 1 BR + den configuration and has “FRESH PAINT AND CARPET THROUGHOUT!” - 3366 Denver Street SE — $474,350 — Naylor Gardens
Open Sun. 1-3 p.m. — Barry Bailey
While the listing is described as “Estate Sale.. MAKE OFFER… SOLD AS-IS …. Very Good Bones,” the bottom line is this home has a chimney perfect for a visit from Santa. - 1301 H Street NE #3 — $724,900 — H Street Corridor
Open Sun. 2-4 p.m. — James Lobocchiaro
This 3 BR/2 BA new construction at The Lucille has a recent $50k price adjustment that just might entice the right holiday buyer. - 1108 16th Street NW #501 — $1,599,900 — Downtown
Open Sun. 1-3 p.m. — Alex Edwards
This one has been on the market 3 times in 2018, the newest time with a $100k drop so perhaps the developers of this new building will be more open to negotiations to get a contract on this one before the New Year.

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!
