This is one of the coolest most unusual houses I’ve come across. I think I may have featured the door before because it definitely looks familiar. But the whole house is amazing. I particularly like the windows. And of course there are some sweet porch sculptures as well. It’s located on 28th Street near P St, NW in Georgetown.
Dolcezza is located at 1560 Wisconsin Ave, NW. I was actually intrigued by the fact that they have churros. Anyone tried them? And of course how does their gelato compare with Pitango’s?
It seems that there is a resurgence in interest in Julia Child’s life.
“Dear PoP,
I had heard that Julia Child used to live in Georgetown. Any idea where she lived?”
I found a picture of her house on a Web site called The Humble Gourmand here. You have to click on the small photo to enlarge it. But here’s a google street view:
I could see the number 2706 and did another google search and found out that it is located at 2706 Olive Street, NW:
So is anyone going to see the movie?
The photo above is what I think is new(ish) construction in Georgetown. I think the “tower” structure in the front looks good. You?
And here’s a green roof in an alley off 14th Street on a carriage house (not exactly a carriage house but I don’t what to call it…). Here’s a proper carriage house:
Personally I think green roofs are super cool:
There have been a lot of beautiful houses posted this week. But I haven’t lost my love for the simple beauty either. This house was found in Georgetown. Is the siding wood?

This wild shot was taken by quigley_brown of the C & O Canal in Georgetown. I’ve never seen this style before. It looks like it could be from 100 years ago. Very cool.

While we’re on the topic of Georgetown, I thought I’d ask about the proposed waterfront park. Anyone know when it’s supposed to be completed? One of the few things I miss about living in DC is that we’re kinda far away from the beach. But if we had some sweet waterfront parks I think that would scratch what itches me. Anyone else looking forward to this park being completed?
This home is located at 1409 33rd Street, NW:
The flier says:
“Fabulous renovation with original charm kept intact. No other house like it. Loaded with sunlight, 3 levels, 3 fireplaces, new hardwoods throughout, wonderful kitchen with marble, Viking & Miele, private brick patio, english basement, lovely baths and much more! A TRUE GEM IN THE HEART OF GEORGETOWN. Don’t miss it.”
More info and a virtual tour can be found here.
So I know some feel that all the GDoN homes are house porn but just for the record, I’ll call it house porn when the asking price is over a million bucks. On these posts I think it’s more interesting to hear about what you think of the home itself but for those in the know that want to take a crack at the price, that’s cool too. Without any further ado this home is going for $1,195,000, which in Manhattan would get you a 2 bedroom coop…
