This week's Featured Property, 4215 8th Street NW #1, belongs to a friend of mine who is moving on to greener pastures with her family. Our neighborhood's loss is someone's amazing gain. Their beautiful condo is half a block from Upshur Street and right in the heart of Petworth.

Conveniently located just a few blocks from the metro, Petworth Park (with its spray park, playground and Jazz & Dance project evenings during the summer) close to Safeway and YES! Organic and all the new Upshur Street restaurants like Timber Pizza and Slim's Diner!
