This home is located at 1606 33rd Street, NW:
The flier says:
“Historic Federal with a contemporary flair and sun, sun, sun! Beamed living room addition with skylights overlooks professionally landscaped garden. Elegant library with French windows can be used as third bedroom. Close to Wisconsin Ave shops and transportation, in enclave of other early homes.”
More info found here and a virtual tour found here.
Since I walked around Georgetown a bit I thought it’d be interesting to feature one their old homes for sale. Man, this is a cool one. Check out the virtual tour, it is one of the most unusual I’ve seen. I think it looks pretty sweet but am curious why it has been on the market so long (182 days). What do you think of the home itself? $739,000 sound reasonable?

This is a rather vague one for the moment but more details to come soon. In the meantime a reader writes:
“Would you support the uses of Eminent Domain by the DC government for urban revitalization project within your community?
The Supreme Court ruled that the uses of eminent domain for community benefit was just (Kelo v. City of New London), where the court agreed with the City of New London that the general benefits a community enjoyed from redevelopment and economic growth qualified as a permissible “public use” under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment.

Meaning that the Govt can uses eminent domain to gain control of a property and then offer it up for redevelopment to private developers. The city has used eminent domain to gain control of land in the following projects:

I along with many others (based on the emails I’ve received) have eagerly been anticipating the opening of Columbia Heights’ newest restaurant. I’m happy to announce that Social will open this Saturday! The bar opens at 4pm and dinner service begins at 6pm. I showed a sneak preview of the spot here. I was lucky enough to attend a mock service on Thursday evening. I gotta say, the food was amazing and the vibe was phenomenal. My overall feeling was that this is going to be a great date spot. Since so many new restaurants have recently opened up what is hard to articulate is what makes one really great. All I can say is that the vibe is what makes a new spot great. It’s what makes the recently opened wine bar Room 11 great and it’s what makes the nearby Red Derby great. Vibe is essential and thankfully Social has it in spades. But you’ll have to judge for yourself. The idea of various sized plates to share worked perfectly. And the fact that the place looks great doesn’t hurt either. I’m psyched to hear what you guys think of the place.

Columbia Heights Day is always great fun. This is the third year of the festival, believe it or not! You can see last year’s highlights here. I gotta give the organizers mad props as they put together a hell of program this year: (more…)
