Featured Property of the Week: 1007 O Street NW

“Tucked along a quiet, tree-lined stretch in DC’s coveted Logan Circle, 1007 O Street NW is the kind of home that stops you mid-scroll. Crafted by OPaL, DC’s award-winning design-build firm, this practically brand-new home is a refined statement of design, where every detail feels intentional and elevated. From its striking architecture to its effortlessly livable layout, the [3BR/3.5BA] home is both a showpiece and a sanctuary. Think timeless materials, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a calm, understated elegance that lets you exhale the moment you walk in. This isn’t just a place to live—it’s a place to feel something. And in a neighborhood as sought-after as Logan Circle, opportunities like this don’t come around often.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

Any idea when the fencing will come down?”

From Deputy Mayor John J. Falcicchio Wednesday:

“We are told that breakdown will start in earnest at 6 pm and will likely take about 36 hours.

That aligns with the end of the Inauguration Pause on indoor dining which is set to expire on Friday, January 22, at 5 am. Restaurants will then be able to return to 25% indoor. (more…)

Logan Circle

Thanks to Rachel for sending: “A shadow just passed over me while I was out in my back patio on 13th St right off Logan circle, and I looked up to see this hawk carrying its prey! It settled on the roof to look around and eat lunch. I’ve never tried to identify a hawk before, but it looks like either a juvenile Red-Tail hawk or else a juvenile Cooper’s Hawk. Not sure what he has for lunch either…”

If you spot a hawk or any interesting wildlife around town, lunching or otherwise, and get a good photo please send in an email where you spotted it to [email protected] and I’ll add it to the queue. Hawks around Town is made possible by a generous grant from the Ben and Sylvia Gardner foundation.
