Featured Property of the Week: 2900 Carlton Avenue NE

“Sometimes you step into a home and can immediately feel the love and care that’s been poured into it over the years. That’s what you’re going to find at 2900 Carlton Avenue NE. Landscaped like a private oasis in the city, this stunning bungalow marries traditional touches with modern amenities. Love at first sight is the easiest way to describe walking up the stairs, crossing the front sitting porch, and gliding through the front door. You’ll instantly feel at ease as your eyes take in the immaculate floors and efficient layout, maximizing the formal sitting space to the right and the large dining space on the left, that’s perfect for entertaining loads of friends and family. A couple of steps in and you’ll start to see the kitchen emerge (renovated in 2020) with beautiful cabinets, quartz countertops with a butcher block accent island, a huge pantry, and plenty of room for multiple chefs to cook up a storm. The main level has two sizable bedrooms (one being an owner’s suite with an ensuite). Upstairs, you’ll find the perfect living space with immaculate heart-of-pine wood floors for movie nights and an office to fit the work-from-home lifestyle. The lower level has two large rooms, an updated full bath, and a laundry/storage area for all of those holiday decorations. Stop by during the day and take in the natural light from all four sides of the home. This home also features a shocking amount of outdoor space. So much so, that you almost don’t have to visit the nearby National Arboretum.”

Over the past few years — and especially since the COVID pandemic hit — online grocery shopping has grown in popularity. It makes sense: most of us abhor grocery shopping at the best of times — it’s time consuming and generally unenjoyable (and all those heavy bags!).

By now it’s likely you have tried some grocery delivery options, but there’s a new (ish) player in town —  FreshDirect  — that’s making a real name for itself in D.C. And FreshDirect is different than other grocery delivery services for a variety of reasons.

First, they cut out the middlemen, meaning their food is sourced directly from farmers, fisherman and producers — partners with whom they have worked with (in some cases) since FreshDirect was founded almost two decades ago! So the food delivered to your door arrives at peak freshness. In fact, to ensure this, FreshDirect’s in-house experts actually assign expert ratings daily to all fruit, veggies and seafood. Four stars is really good and five is the absolute best.
