  • 2118 3rd Street NE #A — $724,900 — Eckington
    Open Sat. 1-3 p.m. — Fernando Garcia
    “Enviable, Evolving Eckington! Perfectly located between Brentwood and Bloomingdale, this Eckington Park condo puts you in the middle of a neighborhood that’s going places. With the Metro barely a half-mile from home, you’ll be going places, too! Or maybe travel in place with the neighborhood’s new arts and events destination, Metrobar, itself just a small part of the sweeping evolution planned on the site of the Rhode Island Center. As the district comes alive, this little corner of Northeast D.C. is bound to provide one of its strongest, funkiest beats, just beyond your doorstep. But with three bedrooms, three full baths, an office, and private outdoor space, there’s plenty of room to just stay in. Or grab your car from its secure parking spot and drive away. You’ll have plenty of choices once you make this contemporary, two-level condo your home!”
  • 4600 Connecticut Avenue NW #208 — $495,000 — Wakefield
    Open Sun. 2-4 p.m. — Brittney Winters
    “This gorgeous sun-drenched apartment is waiting for you to make it your home! Large windows extend across each room, allowing plenty of natural light to soak in. Dark wood floors gleam throughout. Completely renovated in 2015, the current owners have lovingly maintained it and also added a rare in-unit washer/dryer combo and a brand new dishwasher.”
  • 270 15th Street SE #102 — $674,900 — Hill East
    Open Sat. 1-3 p.m. — Chris Masters
    “This home is a 2-bed, 2-bath condominium with incredible eastern exposure allowing for an abundance of morning/mid-day sun! The open-concept layout conveniently allows for entertaining and sleeping areas to be secluded on each side of the home.”
  • 1003 Florida Avenue NE — $995,000 — NoMa/Trinidad
    Open Sat. 12-2 p.m. — Claude Labbe
    “Enjoy a Spacious New Home and a Fabulous, Urban Lifestyle Life doesn’t get more “D.C.” than it does when you’re living in an incredible, 2,238 sq. ft. Capitol Hill-style townhome situated between two of the Districts most exciting neighborhoods.”
  • 254 M Street SW #27 — $989,000 — Southwest Waterfront
    Open Sat. 1-3 p.m. — Steve Williams

If you’re like most people, you’d rather not waste hours getting your car maintained or repaired. That’s why so many people are responding to CarCare To Go with reviews like the one below.

CarCare To Go brings modern convenience and simplicity to car repair. They combine the quality and trust of a full-service shop with a uniquely transparent process, plus free valet pick-up and delivery from your home or work.

OMG! This was the absolute best car service experience ever. So much better and so much less expensive than the BMW dealership. No waiting to tell a “service advisor” what I need. No spurious extra cost items ‘discovered’ during the 14 point inspection. No waiting to talk to the “service advisor” and then waiting again to have my car pulled around. My car came back to my driveway the same afternoon sparkling clean and purring like a kitten. Makes me want to do the whole thing again tomorrow. — David F.

CarCare To Go is so confident that you’ll love their new service and come back for more, that they’re offering first-time clients an oil change for just $20.22. No catch. Synthetic or blend for any make or model car. Just enter coupon code FIRST20 when you book. And the valet and a light hand clean are completely free.

Real Estate Fresh Finds: April 13

By PoP Sponsor (a)

Real Estate Fresh Finds is a weekly selection of newly-listed properties in the District, brought to you by RLAH Real Estate.

Featured Property of the Week: 730 Quebec Place NW #2

“Welcome to 730 Quebec Place NW, Unit 2, where nothing gets between you and the sky. Unit 2 has it all — including a rooftop wonderland! But let’s start with the expansive and luxurious first level. Sumptuous dark-wood floors bring together this grand space, enhanced with airy 10-foot ceilings. This primary level easily accommodates full dining and living areas, separated by the gourmet kitchen and its marble-waterfall island. Here, you’ll also find a rear balcony entrance offering convenient access to your secured parking pad as well as outdoor space. There’s also a full bath. So, what will you compromise on this main floor? Nothing! Still, there’s more as you arrive at the upper level, continuing with 10-foot ceilings, of course. Three full bedrooms — no dinky offices just trying hard — convenient laundry closet, and more of that gorgeous, rich wood flooring. The front-facing bedroom is your owner’s suite, running the full width of the home. You’ll first notice the charming vaulted ceiling. Then, be wowed by the phenomenal walk-in closet, beautifully organized with custom shelving. Be wowed all over again as you enter your en-suite spa bathroom. Past the double vanity, the walk-in shower invites you to luxuriate under two rain-showerheads. What’s that? You’d like a little more ‘wow’? Fine. Make your way higher still, stopping at the landing to inspect the wet bar and its new, high-end beverage cooler. And then step outside. Expansive views from this breathtaking perch offer you the Washington Monument. And the Capitol dome. And the National Cathedral. North, South, East, West — take your pick! From floor to floor, top to bottom, you’ll be wowed, all right. Maybe you’d like a breather? Your neighborhood has got you expertly covered. Get in a round of golf just down the street at the Old Soldiers Home community course. Afterward, whether it’s the craft cocktail at neighborhood favorites Looking Glass Lounge or Mr. Braxton — blocks that deliver delicious perfection. It’s the condo. It’s the community. It’s everything you want.”

Other Notable Fresh Listings:

  • The Most Expensive Home of the Week is a 5 BR/6 FB/2 HB contemporary detached home in Wesley Heights with 7,200 sq. ft. spread across 3 levels and features a few different luxury options for how the lower level lays out, including a multi-car garage, art gallery, pool, putting green, wine cellar and more — all for $5.85M.
  • “Welcome home to Kingman Park on Capitol Hill. Super high ceilings and a south-facing façade shed tons of light into this recently renovated building (2015). Super spacious primary bedroom with huge walk-in closet and an extra bedroom and bathroom for hosting visitors, or a home office, or a nursery, or a library.”
  • “Charming 2 bedroom, 1 bath condo in the heart of it all. Charming walk up brownstone 4 unit building. The hardwood floors gleam in the ample sunlight coming in through the large windows.”
  • Your REO/Bank-Owned Property of the Week is a 3 BR/1.5 BA interior Petworth rowhome that will need a very heavy renovation to make it habitable again.

Get Your Home Professionally Cleaned — Without Harsh Chemicals

By PoP Sponsor (a)

Well-Paid Maids, the District’s only living-wage home cleaning company, is committed to using safe, eco-friendly products.

In the spirit of full transparency, the company lists the specific cleaning products on its website. Each has been rated “low concern” or “lowest concern” from the Environmental Working Group, a leading organization that researches and rates products based on health and sustainability.

Clients are happy with this choice, too. Yelp reviewer J.O. said:

“…the eco-products smell like a day spa and don’t linger (unlike harsher cleaners). With a small child and pets, it’s really important that our house isn’t getting bombarded with chemicals, and the products they use clean just as well!”

Elle V. wrote:

“…when they’re done, my house doesn’t smell like a chemical bomb went off. It’s just CLEAN.”

Of course, Well-Paid Maids is committed to providing clients the best experience — but they also look after their employees.

National Cathedral Celebrates Holy Week with Mendelssohn’s Elijah

By PoP Sponsor (a)

The majestic Washington National Cathedral celebrates Palm Sunday with the dramatic retelling of the life of the prophet Elijah and the epic return of the Jewish people to Israel, Sunday, April 10, at 4 p.m.

The Washington National Cathedral Choir and Baroque Orchestra will bring Felix Mendelssohn’s famed oratorio Elijah, Op. 70 to vivid life in the acoustically ideal gothic nave of the historic Cathedral. Soloists from the Cathedral’s Great Choir, accompanied by the Baroque Orchestra, will enliven the beginning of Holy Week with selections including, “Lord, bow thine ear to hear our prayer” and “He, Watching Over Israel.”

The briskly paced oratorio, which premiered in 1846, is considered one of the composer’s masterpieces, rivaling Handel’s Messiah in its celebratory powers. The seven-story-high vaulted ceilings of the Cathedral, the sixth-largest in the world, will reverberate with Mendelssohn’s majestic music and prepare spectators for the splendors of Holy Week.
