I know it’s a bank but I still thought it was worth noting as it is new construction. It is located on Wisconsin Ave near Q Street, NW. I think it looks pretty cool. I’m particularly liking the windows on the side. What do you guys think – thumbs up or down?

After last week’s GDoN house porn a few readers threw down the gauntlet and dared me to find one worthy of the title house porn. Well, I have answered and answered with vigor… Seriously, this house is so wild, I couldn’t believe I just stumbled upon it. It is interesting to note that it, and the next door neighbor, (see photo below) are two very modern houses within an old school block. But back to the house itself – what do you think of it both inside and out? What’s your favorite feature? It’s yours for $2,495,000.
Cafe Divan is located at 1834 Wisconsin Ave., NW. I love this corner building and feel like over the years I’ve seen a few restaurants come and go. Though I believe Cafe Divan has been in the space for a number of years now. So what’s the word – thumbs up or down? They even have a carry out menu…
This house, from Georgetown, looks like it is about 300 years old. But what I’m dying to know is – why does it curve in on the left hand side?
And here’s another interesting white on I’d thought I’d share:
Well this one stopped me in my tracks, and not in a good way. After seeing many classic old rowhomes in Georgetown I stumbled upon this one. I think maybe if it was a different color I might find it more appealing. Anyone like this style?
Here’s a great one from Georgetown. Man Georgetown really did it up for Halloween, tons of houses were showing the spirit.
Over the summer I asked if folks liked the restaurant Chez Mama-san and I quickly learned that they were no longer open. Metrocurean has the scoop announcing that J. Chocolatier has opened up in the spot at 1039 33rd St. NW. For chocolate fans there is great news this Friday:
“Oct. 16 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. for a free tasting featuring samples of the warm clove truffles, fresh pumpkin truffles, fleur de sel caramel and drinking chocolate.”
We discussed this new park back in January but the summer sun really makes it look great. It is also a much larger park than I thought. And it’s not even totally finished yet:
But i really enjoyed sitting on a bench taking a breather with this view:

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.”

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 an old school home from Georgetown. I really dig the the doors to the left of the proper front door.
