“Dear PoPville,
On Monday, September 14th around 8:00AM, I was biking my kid to school along with two other parents/children. While going south on 11th Street NW by Cardozo High School, a driver in a blue Tesla from Maryland started honking at us repeatedly for no reason. He then passed us at a high rate of speed dangerously close: particularly the parent/child in front, the driver was within inches of running them over.
There’s a stoplight at the bottom of the hill where cars were stopped at a red. The driver stopped, got out of his car, and started yelling at us. He was ranting incoherently about the rules of the road, swearing, and threatening us — all while our children watched. While flailing his arms and pointing exuberantly at the bike lane he smacked me in the face several times hard enough to leave a scratch. Eventually a bystander was able to calm the situation enough that we were able to bike away.

Address: 3916 13th Street NE, Washington, DC, 20017
Neighborhood: Brookland
Type: 5 BR, 4.5 BA, single family — 4,664 sq. ft.
Open House: Sunday, September 20, 12 – 2pm
Listed: $1,995,000
This is not a rare find. It’s a one of a kind. Situated in Washington DC’s beautiful Brookland neighborhood, this brand new construction stuns with its large windows, rooftop lounge and secret Speakeasy. Welcome to 3916 13th Street. Designed by 2Plys Architecture and spread over four stories and more than 4,600 finished square feet, the house features Wolf / Subzero appliances, a horizontal gas fireplace set into marble tiles, and a Master retreat with two walk-in closets and light flooded bath. Taking it a step further than most new constructions in the area, all bedrooms easily fit a king bed, the ceilings exceed 10′ on every level, even the basement, and there are oversized windows throughout, bathing the interior in natural light. The highlights, however, might be the two cocktail bars, the bookcase that opens to a hidden wine cellar and speakeasy, and the indoor / outdoor loft space with vaulted ceilings that overlooks some of DC’s iconic landmarks. The private, fully fenced yard provides an additional sanctuary with its flagstone patio and landscaping. Located on an established, tree-lined street, 3916 13th St is just a couple of blocks away from an organic market, coffee shop, and other local stores, and within walking distance to Brookland’s popular Art District and Metro stop. With plenty of recreational greenspaces and landmark architecture, history meets vibrant community in “Little Rome” and provides the perfect surrounding for this beautiful, new house.
