This is one of the biggest rowhouses I’ve ever seen. Pretty sweet though. It also happens to be right next door to the HOTD I posted earlier in the week.


This one is located on the 2800 block of Sherman. Thumbs up or down?

Keep in mind it looks like it has a sweet roof deck:


I didn’t get a chance to eat at this new spot located at 2632 Georgia Ave. but it looks like a great spot for a sandwich.

Incidentally does anyone know what the story is with the spot next door (with the marble door)? Is it a nightclub affiliated with the deli?


This home is located at 2011 13th St, NW:

More info and a virtual tour here.

I’ve probably walked by this home a thousand times and I’ve always been curious what it looks like on the inside. So if there are others like me be sure to check out the virtual tour. It’s also a phenomenal location. I wonder if it’ll possibly go for the asking price of $975,000?

It also has a sweet vestibule:

It’s that time of year again — time to take the White House Christmas tour. This year was my 9th year taking the tour, and to tell you the truth it’s not nearly as exciting as it used to be — but I’m always grateful for the opportunity.

This year’s theme was a red, white and blue holiday, but my favorite trees were the white trees with the icicles. Here are a few highlights from the State Floor:

I saw the following comment in Yesterday’s GDON post:

“I must say. I thought i was buying at the lows a few months back. I saw areas I didn’t think were in my grasp and then jumped when I saw something in a location I didn’t think i would ever be able to afford back when I started paying attention to dc realestate in 2005. but now I cant help but wonder. should I have waited another 6 months. eh. who cares I like my place. but is anyone else wondering how much more things will slide. anyone out there sell for a loss yet? I have friends looking to sell a condo they bought in 2005 and they are not too happy as the question isn’t if they will sell at a loss but just how much that loss will be.”

So I’m curious – does anyone who bought in the last couple of years regret their purchase because they feel they may be able to get a better deal today? Also – has anyone had to sell for a loss?


When it’s as cold as it’s been lately I highly recommend thermal underwear. It’s become a bit of fad lately but dang they actually work. Even better are thermals and Glogg.
