For the most part, the Good Deal or Not (GDoN) comments were generally pretty kind. The pink exterior paint color took a hit and a few people seemed to expect something more out of the renovation to be priced this close to a million dollars. Uncharacteristically, nobody cited any crime incidents (yes, I know it’s Mount Pleasant, but I can think of a few).
The listing broker was Matt Spicer of Matthew Spicer Real Estate, and son of DC real estate investor legend, Jack Spicer. Over the past forty or so years, Jack has bought and sold over three thousand houses. Typically the Spicers pay cash, do a complete rehab, and then re-sell the property.
Despite being at this price point, the property attracted a tremendous amount of activity. Matt said that the Open House the first weekend was swamped. Rather than entertain multiple offers, he mentioned that, in this case, he was looking to work with the first good offer that came in. Ratification (full agreement of terms by all parties) happened within a scant eight days of closing and they ended up with several back up offers.

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!
