Located a stones throw from Connecticut Ave NW, in a lovely Victorian rowhome with only three other condo units, PoP commenters debated how desirable this 2 bedroom duplex was, given that some of the space is at basement level. In addition to location, the unit has some nice features including high ceilings, 2 fireplaces, a patio, and a parking spot.
I found the property history to be quite interesting.
12/31/1998 Back in the day
A mere nine+ years ago this unit sold for $181,000. with a Seller subsidy of $1800. It had been on the market for 167 days.
2001
An attempt was made in August of 2001 to list at $339,000. It was withdrawn and re-listed in September 2001 for $299,000. It sold after 69 days on market for $292,500.
Averaged out over the 7.25 years between sales, even considering a probable dip in value from the height of the market, that’s close to $20,000. appreciation per 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!
