“Dear PoPville,

Apple the Yorkie whose story was shared last Monday is doing fantastic. In just one week, she has blossomed from matted, starving, and unsure into the most confident, bright, and loving dog you’ll ever meet. She wants to be held and snuggled 24/7 (and isn’t shy about vocalizing this desire), she LOVES playing with stuffies (pink sparkly Lamb Chop is her favorite), and she recently discovered that belly rubs are bliss.

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.

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.

Good news to share! “We’re still waiting on the final Certificate of Occupancy and then we’re going to be good to go!

Our French bakers are here and ready to start baking for everyone!(more…)
