I guess I have two questions here: Number one – what do you think of the house itself?
Number two: how does this win an honor award for historic preservation if it was built in 1968?

We actually looked at this house almost a year ago when it was on the market for $6,500,000. Price has dropped a cool million since then. It’s now yours for $5,500,000. I’ll gladly post this home once a year until it sells because I’m blown away by the virtual tour.

When we judged Georgetown Cafe (located at 1623 Wisconsin Ave NW) back in Jan. ’10 it got pretty terrible reviews. But clearly there were some fans:

Muncheez is located at 1071 Wisconsin Avenue, NW. I’ll be honest from the outside and the name I thought this place was gonna be horrible. I couldn’t have been more wrong – it is freaking awesome. I had no idea there was a middle eastern connection here (in addition to crepes and wraps etc.) I had a snack called Nana’s original that was really good. Well you can see the full menu here. Anyone else try them out yet? Any other recommendations for what to order?
I’ve started to get a lot of emails about this:
Missy Frederick and Danielle Douglass wrote about it back in Sept. ’10. From the Post:
“To be nestled in the unofficial home goods section of the neighborhood, the store will fill some 13,000 square feet at 3307 M St., across from BoConcept, Pedini DC and Contemporaria. Similar to its posh neighbors, CB2 offers contemporary designs that are a tad edgier than those of its big sister, Crate & Barrel.”
CB2 will be opening in April 2011 at 3307 M St, NW.
Based on my emails folks are getting pretty excited about this. Are there lots of CB2 fans out there?

It’s been a while since we looked a “Classic Georgetown bay front Victorian”. I’m sure some folks’ll laugh at the colors but there’s some pretty sweet details here as well. How do you think this one ranks among house porn posts? It’s yours for $1,895,000.
