We recently revisited the sale of this other Mount Pleasant rowhome located a little less than a mile from the subject property, on the (very opposite) NW edge of the neighborhood, adjacent to Rock Creek Park. The subject property, similarly a porch front rowhome, is closer to the urban amenities of Adams Morgan. (more…)

Samantha reported around 9pm last night:
“Sounds like rapid gunfire on Lamont St. in Mt Pleasant just now — anyone know what’s going on? Fireworks or at least three rapid-fire gunshots.
Cops are collecting multiple shell cases on Lamont and 17th — searching now in the alley for the shooter who took off running.”

The 18 comments on the original GDoN post reflect a bit about expectations for houses priced over $1,000,000.
“For being over $1 million, I’m very underwhelmed”
“At this price, I would expect the kitchen to be twice as large.”
“I’d be bummed to not have parking for over $1mil”

Apparently, parking occurs there now, but Emily Dalphy, DDOT Transportation Engineer, said that parking in this area might already be “technically illegal”. (more…)
