Remember what an eyesore this house was? It looks killer now. I’m guessing it must be an embassy, yeah?

Another great roof deck with glass sides. But what’s the deal with the slated roof? Does that provide sun protection? Or is it to eventually trellis vines?

This beauty looks recently repainted. Nicely done. (From Adams Morgan)

The Washington Post’s Tom Sietsema has the scoop:
“The owner of the wine-themed Proof in Penn Quarter has signed a lease for a second restaurant in Logan Circle. Estadio is its name, and Spanish will be its game.”
This is in the spot where the Garden District formerly sold its indoor plants. I’m very much looking forward to following the progress on this place. Stay tuned…

On Monday evening I was able to get a sneak preview of the National Museum of Crime & Punishment’s Haunted House tour. The museum is located at 575 7th St, NW in Penn Quarter.
The museum says:
“From 1916-1960 125 men were executed in the Tennessee Electric Chair. In 2008, the chair made its way to the National Museum of Crime & Punishment…and so did its ghosts.”
I have to say, while I wasn’t terrified it was lots of fun. Guests must be over 17 years old and tickets cost $20. To get tickets you can purchase them at the front desk of the museum or go buy them online.
A few more photos after the jump though it is much scarier in the dark… (more…)
“Dear PoP,
Do you know any good companies that have experience installing flooring (tile, composite , laminate) in basements?”
Sadly, I’ve got 25 year old carpet in my basement. Anyone have some recommendations?

This home is located at 803 Euclid Street, NW:
The flier says:
“A stunning example of a fine urban row house. Recent renovation shows the possibilities of a 1924 home turned into a livable piece of art. How about FOUR? Four levels, Four bedrooms, Four bathrooms. .. but still one of a kind. Maple and concrete floors, high ceilings, recessed lighting, In-Law-Suite(appt), garage parking, top of the line finishes throughout.”
More info and photos found here.
I’m pretty sure I’ve featured this house as house of the day before so it’s pretty cool to get a look at the inside. It’s a pretty serious renovation, dying to know what you guys think. Do you think $769,900 is a realistic asking price for this 4 bed/4 bath? I’m thinking it’s a bit on the high side.

Oriental Cafe is located at 1636 R Street, NW. So what’s the scoop on this spot? Is it good for dining in or just delivery? Any must order dishes? Ed. Note: I still think Oriental is not the preferred nomenclature anymore, be it a cafe or a deli…
