Discover Portrait Square: Brookland’s Newest Luxury Townhome Community

By PoP Sponsor (a)

It’s time to rediscover Brookland in Northeast D.C., home to Catholic University and the Brookland CUA Metro Station. Bustling with even more life and creativity than when Bo Diddley and Marvin Gaye called it home, Brookland is electric.

There’s Monroe Street Market exploding with vibrant art, bistro dining, farm-fresh produce and unique shopping. There are tree-lined streets leading to Metro and paved bike trails. And, just a couple blocks away, there’s Portrait Square, a small enclave of just 22 homes and Brookland’s newest luxury townhome community.

At Portrait Square, you’ll hang your bike in your garage, slide across the hardwood floors in your socks, grab a bottle from your designer kitchen, and head to your private rooftop terrace to toast the night. You’ll look out over Brookland and plan the next day’s adventures. So much life and art.

You’re Invited to Celebrate the National Building Museum’s 40th Anniversary

By PoP Sponsor (a)

On December 12, 1980, President Jimmy Carter signed an act of Congress that established a museum with a still-unique purpose: to inspire curiosity and knowledge about the world we design and build.

Since then, the National Building Museum has welcomed millions of visitors and earned a well-deserved international reputation as an essential cultural institution.

Our dedicated team creates exhibitions and programs for visitors of all ages that call attention to contemporary issues such as climate change, social justice, public health and housing. Our goal is ambitious but never more relevant: to educate, entertain and engage audiences about the built environment and to challenge them to advocate for a sustainable and equitable future.

The week of December 7-12, the Museum invites everyone to a pre-holiday feast of FREE virtual programs and events:

DC Open House List for This Weekend

By PoP Sponsor (a)

We’re now in that weird limbo of time past Thanksgiving but not yet Christmas, meaning we have a couple weeks of normal real estate before Santa and the New Year’s Baby come to town. Make sure your agent has a strategy to keep you safe while searching for your next home.  To see the full Open House List, click here.

  • 1338 Perry Place NW — $899,900 — Columbia Heights
    Open Sat. 1-3 p.m. — John Kirk
    “In awe of this Queen Anne’s continued grace, thoughtfully renovated to fulfill the expectations of modern living while ensuring its 100-year-old character remained intact. Swoon at the hand-carved columns separating formal living room and dining room, interior transom windows, turreted shaped rooms, original fireplace, original parquet flooring upstaged only by the added inset borders. From the hand-carved five-paneled doors, to the period chandelier, even the original brass doorknobs, all speak of treasuring DC’s past glories. The kitchen has been completely renovated with french farm-style cream cabinetry, interior lit display shelving, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, plus the prized butler’s pantry. Bathrooms are also renovated but in keeping with the period. The lower level belies its age with recessed lighting and drywall, a bonus room and laundry area — fully functional for a busy household. The exterior of the home is defined by the tooth and dental cornices and elegantly shaped roofline, sizable front porch and three-story turret on the rear. Incredible opportunity to live in the past and the present simultaneously, with all of the hard ‘This Old House’ updates already completed.”

Trenton Square at Ballston — Your Next Phase in North Arlington Awaits

By PoP Sponsor (a)

City life is hard to let go. Everything you need all within arm’s reach, and local spots that feel like they were designed specifically for you.

But you’re torn. You could really use some extra living space. A home that doesn’t have a hallway full of other homes so closely strung together. A sense of calm when you walk out onto your terrace. What if you could achieve that ideal balance?

Trenton Square at Ballston is a brand-new townhome community that’s a private escape in the heart of Arlington. Mere minutes from the dining, shopping and entertainment of Ballston. And for traveling into D.C., Route 50, I-66 and Ballston-MU Metro are just down the road. But you’ll forget the rest of the world when you step into the sanctuary of your brand-new townhome.

Each home boasts four finished levels — enough space for everyone to work, play and live without feeling on top of each other. Distinctive finishes and features make for a truly elegant interior, complete with a designer kitchen, airy owner’s bedroom, the latest in smart home and energy efficient technology, and a loft space that walks out onto your private rooftop terrace. Trenton Square at Ballston is the home you’ve been searching for.
