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.

The Brightwood/16th St. Heights opening marks the brand’s flagship location in DC.

The Three Whistles DC team has put together an award-winning food and beverage program with Chef John Mohl, formerly of Virginia’s Darling and Stracci, at the helm for food and Keith Butler, previously a coffee roaster with Grace Street Coffee, leading the café. (more…)
