Type Of Financing: Conventional with a first and second trust. A select few lenders are currently offering a 2nd trust. Typically, the borrower must have stellar credit and still puts 10% of their own cash down. This financing strategy can be used to avoid private mortgage insurance. It also may be a good choice for someone who is expecting a lump sum of cash or gets paid in bonuses and intends to pay the second trust off sooner rather than later.

Given that this property falls into the very narrow margin that is actually identified as the legal subdivision of Capitol Hill, and that you can practically look out the front door and see the Capitol Police standing on street corners, I think we can avoid the typical dispute of whether or not we all consider this Capitol Hill. This is quintessential Capitol Hill. Period.
No central air, pink subway tile bathroom, street parking, “finished” basement…no problem. It’s The Hill! Sold in 9 days. $772,500.
Hey, it does have some nice heart of pine floors, gorgeous unpainted wood doors and trim, a huge 2000+ square foot lot, LOVE the vestibule tile, and yes, it came with a hot tub.

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!
