Well this is a rather random sight (from last week). icubaji writes that the shot was taken around 31st street just south of M in Georgetown.

Woah, this one looks a bit like a museum to me. I think this might set the record for the most expensive featured house porn. Do you think it matches the price? It’s yours for $9,950,000.
The Georgetown library is progressing nicely on Wisconsin Ave, NW. There’s some nice copper details as well. But what is this thing at the top – I noticed it at the Petworth library (also under construction) as well? Will it be a clock?
Incidentally the Shaw library is also progressing nicely, should be a few more months I’m guessing.

Well, I think I’ve found some proper house porn again. All I can say is enjoy. It’s yours for $6,500,000.
Ed. Note: I was chatting with a neighbor who was telling me some interesting history about these homes. Apparently they were built for the daughters of the first Gov. of DC or something like that. I was looking for a heritage sign but didn’t find one…
The Social Safeway located at 1855 Wisconsin Ave NW opens May 6th. It’s looking good. The store is considered a ‘lifestyle store’ and you can learn what that means here.
And if you need a primer on Safeway nicknames you can find them here.
This is actually next door to the house of the day (see below). I’m surprised this doesn’t violate some historic Georgetown rules.

From an email:
On Tuesday, 4/20 Baked & Wired will celebrate an anniversary. For 42,000 hours we have been proudly serving coffee and baked goods to the Georgetown neighborhood. We are delighted to have become a part of the life of the neighborhood.
To give back to the people who have supported us all those hours, we will be celebrating all day! We will be officially unveiling some exciting new coffee offerings, so come on over from 7:00 until 10:30am for a cup of coffee on us.
There will also be giant cupcake raffles all day long, and a giant cupcake eating contest at noon (stop by the store by Monday to enter for a chance to participate). And, of course, we’ll have all your favorite munchies and the usual Baked & Wired shenanigans. We hope you’ll stop by.

1052 Thomas Jefferson St NW
From an MPD police report:
“The assault occurred near 30th and M and apparently sparked when a witness observed three subjects in a car that struck a parked car and attempted to leave the scene. The witness apparently told them to leave a note and as a result, he was beaten and kicked by the three. There is no usable description at this point, but detectives are actively following up to see what other information is out there.”

It’s been a while since we checked out some Georgetown house porn. I’m gonna be honest and say this isn’t may favorite one straight off. However, I’m curious to know what you think of the fact that it is leased until 8/31/2012? Who would drop over $2.5 million with such a stipulation?
So what do you think of the house itself? I’m a sucker for bookshelves… Obviously the location is very desirable to many so do you think they’ll get near their asking of $2,750,000?
Ed. Note: I’ve received all the reader suggestions for regular GDoN posts but if you have suggestions for house porn posts don’t hesitate to email me as well.

Thanks to a reader for sending this one in. She also notes this home made the Wall Street Journal. Last week’s house porn is going to be very tough to beat. What do you guys think of this one? I’m digging the pool, not so much the kitchen…
