I recently noticed another triangular lot for sale at the corner of W and Florida NW. I was trying to imagine what kind of house would fit there. I guess this is it. V. cool.
I have used Big Green movers for two moves in DC and I love them. Reasonable price, speedy, and the guys who moved us last time were incredibly nice and even kind of "fun." Who would have thought t...
I saw this on the mall here in DC and Santa Clara's was my favorite house by far. It was so liveable, and that deck with the wide doors had me drooling. Congratulations! It sounds like it was a fun...
