Real Estate Fresh Finds: Oct. 24

By PoP Sponsor (a)

Real Estate Fresh Finds is a weekly selection of newly-listed properties in the District, brought to you by Real Living At Home.

The temperature has dropped, but the inventory count still hasn’t! With more than 250 new listings across the District this week, there’s still something for everyone. Check out some of our suggested Fresh Finds below:

  • It’s no shocker that a $4.5M penthouse condo in The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton is your Most Expensive Home of the Week, featuring 3,330 square feet of living space as well as 1,700 square feet of roof terrace.
  • 2-bedroom NE rowhome “blocks from booming H Street, but just far enough to be on a quiet section of Capitol Hill.”
  • Brick Petworth row house is a bit unconventional to say the least with it’s upper level screened-in front porch perfect for late summer night drinks and chats.
  • Stylish 1-bedroom Southwest Waterfront condo has “everything you want in a neighborhood at a price point that’s affordable.”
  • Your REO/Bank-Owned Property of the Week is a semi-detached in Queens Chapel that could have potential with some imagination.

The Lady Pearly Pours Home Delivered Fine Wines to the District

OK, so it’s 6:59 p.m. and you’ve changed your mind about that South African Syrah you could have picked up on your way home. Your hands were full, as was the Metro. Still, now you want that bottle of wine but you’ve already changed into your jammies for the evening, and your show is about to begin… What to do?

All is not lost: The Lady Pearly to the rescue!

The Lady Pearly is D.C.’s newest — as of October 1 — purveyor of home delivered fine wine. Order between the hours of 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., and the wine of your choice will arrive at your door within an hour after pushing the “send” button.

And Kevin A. Brown, the mastermind behind the service, swears to us that 6:59 p.m. is not too late.

“Correct,” he said when we asked for assurance. “The window closes at 7 p.m. daily; anything submitted before that gets sent out for delivery. As the business expands, we plan on making the delivery window much larger.”

Yes, but… what’s behind the name?

It involves a true story of Brown’s “best friend and love of my life, my wife Pearly” and a plot of land in Scotland where Pearly earned the title of nobility, “The Lady.”

“That name stood out as not only fitting, but also unique and remarkable and we decided it would be perfect for the noble world of wine,” Brown said.

So you can stop asking about that and start asking about the carefully curated selection of wine (and a few hand-crafted spirits), ranging from a Château Mouton Rothschild Bordeaux for $498 to a Looking Glass Chardonnay for $5.

Look for the business to expand into a larger selection of wines, FedEx options and monthly private wine tasting events.
