By PoP Sponsor (a)

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

Featured Property of the Week: 4415 P Street NW

“A REWARDING ESCAPE PEACEFULLY SITUATED, 7 minutes away from Georgetown. This stunning 4-level home is in the heart of Foxhall Village. Luxurious and serene in its current elegant and custom design. Gorgeous 7 Bedrooms and 8 Full Bathrooms throughout 6,500 square feet of living space. Custom home was built in 2014 to perfection and high-end construction choices. Unlike any other home, every bedroom has its own bathroom. The home presents an actual 9th bathroom, which has been transformed into the 3rd level laundry room. This home encompasses everything a homeowner needs to feel truly “at home” and entertain guests: 2 wine bars, 5 fireplaces, backyard fire pit, and every room has the Sonos Audio System Platform allowing one to individually play their music of choice or have the whole home play at once.”

“Once you park outside, you cannot help but notice the authentic brick design throughout from the walkway up to the home and front patio. Upon entry is a grand hall that boasts the depth of the home with its beautiful all-natural hardwood floors and ample windows allowing natural light through the home. When you want an “open space” this home offers just that. The main level offers a sun-filled study, two entertaining rooms, a library ready to stimulate the mind, open formal dining, and an enticing gourmet kitchen. This kitchen encourages one to feel like a true chef with its large brand new quarter-round Quartz countertops, top-of-the-line Jenn-Air appliances from the 6-burner gas cooktop, two dishwashers (where do you see this?), built-in side-by-side refrigerator, two ovens, and a large stainless steel farmhouse sink. As one cooks, another can enjoy the entertainment room which has a built-in theater-like audio system. Step out to the brick-paved backyard to finish that meal with fresh smores smoked from the brick firepit.”

Try FreshDirect for High Quality Food Delivered Straight to Your Door!

Over the past few years — and especially since the COVID pandemic hit — online grocery shopping has grown in popularity. It makes sense: most of us abhor grocery shopping at the best of times — it’s time consuming and generally unenjoyable (and all those heavy bags!).

By now it’s likely you have tried some grocery delivery options, but there’s a new (ish) player in town —  FreshDirect  — that’s making a real name for itself in D.C. And FreshDirect is different than other grocery delivery services for a variety of reasons.

First, they cut out the middlemen, meaning their food is sourced directly from farmers, fisherman and producers — partners with whom they have worked with (in some cases) since FreshDirect was founded almost two decades ago! So the food delivered to your door arrives at peak freshness. In fact, to ensure this, FreshDirect’s in-house experts actually assign expert ratings daily to all fruit, veggies and seafood. Four stars is really good and five is the absolute best.

Stylish Trenton Square at Ballston — Almost Sold Out

By PoP Sponsor (a)
1/10

Spring is when birds build their nests and find new places to call home. It’s also a great time for you to find your new home.

But as in nature, the best places to nest always go fast — especially in Washington, D.C. and especially in Ballston. Ballston takes all the best parts of the big city and mixes it with a unique style that makes Ballston such a gem in North Arlington.

The townhomes of Trenton Square at Ballston provide the perfect balance to the cosmopolitan cadence, and it’s not going unnoticed. This elegant 19-home community is almost sold out.

These townhomes have four levels of luxury and elegance with the space and comfort to stretch your legs, take a deep breath and bathe in the light pouring through all the large windows.

The main level of the townhomes of Trenton Square is all about productivity. A two-car garage protects your vehicles and gives you some extra flex space. A dedicated office space lets you easily work from home without taking over the dining room or cramming uncomfortably into a corner of your bedroom.

The next two levels provide fuel, fun and recharging. Find a designer kitchen with microbe-resistant quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large island that will inspire many delicious meals. A spacious dining and family room fill out the floor, providing all the room you need to entertain.

Above that, on the third floor, is your owner’s suite. Decadent. Refreshing. A sanctuary within a sanctuary.

The fourth floor is special because that’s where a large and airy loft space leads out onto your private outdoor terrace. Dine under the stars, dance with the rising sun, or share a glass of wine and a good book with the fresh air. Your private terrace provides the ultimate natural recharge.

It’s no wonder most of our homes are already sold!

Then, just down the road in the heart of Ballston, all the best dining, shopping and entertainment await you. Over 80 restaurants, boutique shops and essential services are within five blocks. You’re also close to parks, movie theaters, immersive virtual experiences, and even an ice rink (home of the Washington Capitals) — can’t get much cooler than that!

When your adventures take you farther than Ballston, just around the corner you’ll find access to all the major roads and Metro to take you deeper into Arlington, D.C. and beyond. At Trenton Square, you’re only 10 minutes to Tysons and 4 minutes to Washington, D.C.

Trenton Square at Ballston combines the peaceful calm of a luxury townhome, the electricity of Ballston, and the excitement of D.C. But don’t delay: The townhomes of Trenton Square are selling and selling out fast. Contact us today and come home to Trenton Square.

4 levels, 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 2-car garage — from just over $1 million.

Well-Paid Maids is Leading on Vaccinations

By PoP Sponsor (a)

Dear PoPville readers,

I started D.C.’s only living-wage cleaning service because I believe in doing right by people, and my team has not lost sight of that vision for a moment. For more than a year now, Well-Paid Maids has prioritized employee and customer safety as we all faced COVID-19 together.

When the pandemic hit, we made the impossible decision to close temporarily, viewing it as the only way to ensure the safety of our customers and staff. Once the scientific community understood how the virus spread, we opened back up at a reduced capacity and with common-sense, people-first safety precautions in place, even when it hurt our bottom line.

As our community pushes to return to whatever the new normal looks like, I can promise you that Well-Paid Maids will continue to put health and safety first. For example, we are actively encouraging all employees to get vaccinated by offering substantial cash bonuses to those who are immunized and company-paid transportation to and from vaccination sites. The photo above is of Nishad (and his mother), who has been with us for three years, right after receiving their shots last week. You may remember Nishad from our last PoPville post.

Ala is Changing the Meaning of Happy Hour — Join Them!

By PoP Sponsor (a)

New to the Dupont scene, ala is reshaping the way happy hours and brunches are done in D.C. and just in time for the warm weather, too!

Why limit yourself to a few pre-selected happy hour items when you could try the entire menu? This is exactly what ala realized when crafting their new Happy Hour deal. Beginning this Monday, April 12, ala will be offering 25% off the ENTIRE menu during Happy Hour. Rather than just a few bar snacks and house beverages, ala wanted guests to have a chance to try everything they have to offer.

Monday through Thursday from 4-6 p.m., you can enjoy everything from their charcuterie options to their Short Ribs with Chickpea Cream — for ¾ of the price. Included in this deal are their photo-worthy speciality cocktails plus wines from all over the world.

The key meaning behind their name, ala, is a blend of all the colors, and with that in mind, they have created this Happy Hour deal to allow us to come together and have the flexibility to try the many flavors, colors and offerings they have to offer — without restrictions.
