What could be better for a busy Washingtonian than coming home from work and having a friendly place in the building to have an adult beverage and dinner? While everyone makes fun of Norm on Cheers.....there is something to be said for having a seat at the bar where everyone knows your name!

While there is not an overwhelming number of residential developments on Pennsylvania Avenue, DC has so many other streets that are worthy of signature status. The enduring legacy of Pierre L'Enfant is a city of beautiful wide streets and truly interesting intersections associated with all our diagonals.

Walking is the essence of the DC urban lifestyle.

Birth Announcement - DC Condo Boutique
Thursday, November 5th, 2009 at 12:04pm. 146 Views, 2 Comments.
I am pleased to announce the arrival of Washington DC's newest real estate website, the DC Condo Boutique. The site went live on November 4, 2009 at 9:22 PM EST. It was a relatively brief and uneventful period of propagation after the domain name servers were updated at 7:30 PM EST.
The DC Condo Boutique is a hefty entrant into the Washington, DC real estate cyberspace, weighing in at 202 pages and 210 snippets. The proud dad has a bit of a sore wrist, tired eyes and some worn keys on his MacBook Pro as a result of the fast and furious pace of development.
A huge shout out to the staff at REW for their patience, guidance, knowledge and assistance throughout the development of this baby. Thanks Garet, Ross, Gerry, Nick and Morgan for your excellent work. …
