This home is located at 3132 P Street, NW:

The flier says:

“Detached Federal features 5BR, 4.5FB, master with sitting room overlooking the peaceful garden, large entertaining spaces, expansive kitchen, au pair suit with side entrance, wine seller, laundry, large paved back yards. Located in the hart of the East Village with a quaint private garden offer a tranquil spot within city living. Leased till 8/31/2012 at $ 7500/mo with annual increments.”

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…

Puro Cafe has opened up at 1529 Wisconsin Ave, NW. It’s got a bit of a modern look:

Their Web site is a bit slow but if you wait it out you can see their menus here.

Sea Room Opens at Cafe Divan

We’ve previously judged Cafe Divan located at 1834 Wisconsin Ave., NW. I just noticed that they have had a grand opening of their Sea Room. Anyone know anything about this? I assume it will specialize in seafood but I didn’t see anything about it on their Web site. Anyone happen to try it out yet?

Unexpected Gas Station Mural

I found this mural on Wisconsin Avenue near Q Street, NW. It is very simple but I like how it contrasts the gas signage.

I thought this was a good looking gate from Georgetown. Though I did find the horse head oddly out of place…

Judging Restaurants – Georgetown Cafe

Georgetown Cafe is located at 1623 Wisconsin Ave NW. This looks like an awesome late night spot which was confirmed by some folks over at Yelp. But I’m wondering for those who’ve been there – is it better for Middle Eastern food or breakfast/diner type food?

Puro Cafe Coming to Georgetown and Work Begins at 13th and U

Puro Cafe is coming to 1529 Wisconsin Ave, NW. I asked a neighbor if she knew when it would open but she didn’t know the exact date. I’ll be sure to update when they officially open their doors.

And I was excited to see construction begin at the corner of 13th and U Streets, NW. I’m eager to see what tenants move in:

The fliers says:

“Gorgeous C. Zapatka designed renovation worthy of Architectural Digest. Three levels of exquisite in-town living. Flagstone patios and gardens in front and back. Elegantly sited and recessed back from the streets. Two blocks to Wisconsin Ave. Three bedrooms and two a half baths.”

I know I should probably have waited for tomorrow’s house porn post but I couldn’t wait, I was so intrigued with this house. I was most taken by how skinny it is and was curious what the inside looked like. What do you think about the home itself? Think it is worthy of Architectural Digest? It’s yours for $1,329,000.
