But Brunello di Montalcino is also acceptable. Also rioja and bordeaux. Really, I'm not picky. I’m partial to a nice Nobile di Montepulciano, myself. But Brunello di Montalcino is also acceptable.

As one of the residents of this house, I can attest to the fabulous view from the porch, the deck, the inside of the house, etc. While we appreciate that you love our house (we do too!) we must insist that you not hang out on our front porch unless you leave us a case of wine as a peace offering. We like sangiovese, malbec, new zealand sauvignon blanc, and I am sure my roommate will add to this list. If it is really good wine, you can come hang out on our awesomely fabulous deck with us. Thanks for blogging our house. It IS pretty cool to live across the street from this view.

No that second photo was not taken from the porch but rather from across the street. I only take photos from public spaces. Although if someone invites me onto their porch then it's all good.

And yes, it is awesome. That shot isn't from the porch - or if it was, it was taken with a zoom. But we do have a lovely view of trees from the porch and deck. Hey, that’s my house!

They are offset by about 8 feet forming a stair step effect that fits the curve of the road perfectly. They houses are also quite unique in DC, being part of only a handful of modern townhouses built during the 20s and 30s (these houses were built around 1936). The corner casement windows are very unusual for DC architecture. I will admit I am a bit biased as I live in one of them, but I feel in love with the houses the first time I saw them. (BTW - I don't think the Prince actually took the shot of the park from the porch) -es Hey, you didn’t get the best part of this row of houses!
