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: 3814 T Street NW

“Tucked snuggly into one of the District’s greenest little corners, between Georgetown and Glover Archbold Park, Burleith-Hillandale is just that arbored oasis you’ve been longing to call home. While you won’t have to sacrifice any of the nearby bright lights or easy commutes, once you settle into 3814 T Street NW, the ‘when’ and ‘how much’ are entirely up to you. Step up from the sidewalk and breeze across the flagstone walk, through the landscaped front garden resting below the red-brick façade. Once inside, the only challenge is deciding exactly how to use the nearly 2,500 square feet you’ll have to play with. From the first floor to the lower level, find three grand areas to assign. The chef’s kitchen with JennAir appliances and the African-slate floor will fire the imagination of your inner gourmand. Of course, there is also the engineered, low-maintenance deck and stone terrace, offering even more options for entertaining or escaping beneath your stately pine trees. Take the elegant marble staircase to the upper floor and be tickled by the whimsy of the tropics-themed front bedroom. Here, you’ll also find a full bath and a quiet little room — with glorious skylight — that’s long served as a private library/office.”

Other Notable Fresh Listings:


Now that back to school, back to work and back to the “new normal” is in full swing, home cooks and their families are practicing flexibility in their daily routines — and that includes meal times.

RSVP Catering, one of the region’s premier catering services, is also practicing flexibility: The longtime events catering firm is now offering a carefully curated menu of prepackaged meals — from breakfast and snacks to dinner and dessert — for contactless home delivery.

The new Work Day Menu brings to your door the sophisticated and creative quality of meals diners could only experience at weddings, corporate events and galas in the “old normal.” Those who are exhausted by the lack of variety and flavor in their meals will find RSVP Catering’s choices to be flavorful, healthy and an enjoyable relief from the quarantine routine.
