The Northumberland, located at 2039 New Hampshire Avenue NW in the Dupont Circle neighborhood, is featured in James Goode's Best Addresses. Today, the Northumberland remains one of the best-preserved pre-World War I buildings.
Designed by prominent architect Albert Beers and constructed in 1909 by the legendary Harry Wardman, the Northumberland features a unique banded exterior facade. The lobby of the Northumberland featuring 14-foot ceilings and walls adorned with muted-yellow Sienna Marble conveys a level of prestige that is impossible to replicate in newer construction.

DC Homes are Smallest in Nation
Thursday, November 10th, 2011 at 8:40am. 578 Views, 0 Comments.
In a recent study conducted by Realtor.com, Washington, DC ranked first in the nation for having the smallest size homes. The study calculated the median square footage of all the homes listed for sale in September, 2011.
DC homes weighed in with a median home size of 1,000 sq. ft. and a median lot size of 2,375 sq. ft. Rounding out the top five smallest median home sizes were Hawaii, Michigan, Iowa and Ohio. The DC top ranking makes sense as this study utilized state data rather than just urban cities or Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs).
Many of the smaller condos in the District are located in more venerable residential neighborhoods like Foggy Bottom and Dupont Circle with larger units more readily available in neighborhoods like Logan Circle…

In a city where everyone seems to be out walking their dog, why is it so challenging to find a decent pet-friendly condo?
Pet-friendly is one of those terms that seems to have a different meaning to each and all and it is almost impossible to come up with a generic definition.

Logan, Dupont Deliver for Gen-Y Buyers
Thursday, May 26th, 2011 at 5:47am. 847 Views, 1 Comments.
A recent article in Realtor Magazine about the real estate preferences for Generation Y buyers detailed this demographic groupings wants and desires. This sector, who were born in the late 1970s through the early 2000s, has a strong preference for an urban living experience. Walkability is a key desire for this group as is living in the now rather than taking a long-term view of its housing needs.
DC's Logan and Dupont neighborhoods are tailor-made for Generation Y buyers. With WalkScores in the mid and high nineties, walkability rules the day in this part of DC. Life without a car is a reality for many of the residents in these two neighborhoods. Many residents are able to walk to work Downtown from their Logan or Dupont home and commute via…
Watergate History For Sale at Webster House in Dupont Circle
Wednesday, April 27th, 2011 at 10:48am. 826 Views, 0 Comments.
The DC real estate blogosphere has been buzzing this week about a Dupont Circle studio apartment listing where Washington Post columnist Bob Woodward lived during his days investigating the Watergate scandal. The balcony of this unit was used by Woodward to signal his source "Deep Throat." Woodward would plant a flag in a flower pot to indicate to Deep Throat that he wanted to meet.
It was incorrectly reported that Woodward owned the Webster House unit where he lived. This is not accurate as the Webster House was an apartment building from its delivery in 1968 until it was converted to condos in 1978 by Holladay Corporation. Bob Woodward confirmed to me renting at the Webster House " I believe that is the correct apartment number. Never owned…

DC Property Assessor Database Flaw
Sunday, March 6th, 2011 at 7:48am. 1073 Views, 0 Comments.
The WBJ reports on a flaw in the DC Property Assessment Database where properties in the District constructed prior to 1877 are classified by default as being constructed in 1900. 1877 was the first year that building permits were required in the District, so records for properties built earlier than this are not readily available.
Being an analytical type, I wanted to look at some MLS data to validate the extent of this database flaw. Here are the number of active properties listed for sale or rent that were constructed in the years 1898 - 1902:
