I’ve always liked this little alley court tucked away within a short distance of Eastern Market. At the original list price of $547,500. comments on the original Good Deal or Not (GDoN) post questioned the value of this tiny home. After a nearly ten percent reduction in the price, the final purchase price reflects $507. paid per square foot. This is the highest sale price for a home on Browns Court to date. (630 Browns Court sold in April 2009 for $460,000.)
Additional GDoN discussion turned to the age of the properties on this block. Public records indicate that the subject property was built in 1908 and was extensively remodeled in 1998. The last ownership transfer of this property happened at that time, for $143,000. Phyllis Jane Young with Coldwell Banker was the listing agent back in 1998 and again in 2008-2009.
A little bit of poking around public records indicates quite a bit of new-ish construction activity in this corner of The Hill. While 636 Browns Court is a carriage house built in 1903, neighbor 628 Browns Ct was constructed in 1992, 630 preceded it in 1991, and 632 and 632 ½ came about in 1985.

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!
