I catch myself wondering: if these walls could talk, what stories would they tell? Beyond the architecture and the history, I love imagining the decades of precious memories these homes hold. I’m a firm believer that a property isn’t just brick and mortar—it has a soul, and you can feel it the second you step inside.

Do you feel the same?

Some houses are just four walls. Others? They just have that feeling.

3117 Warder St NW is one of them. It’s that rare intersection where DC’s rowhouse original character meets a sleek, modern lifestyle.

The Morning Ritual: Imagine waking up to sunlight streaming through the high ceilings. You head downstairs—past those beautifully refurbished radiators and exposed brick walls—to a kitchen designed for the home chef. Concrete countertops, Bosch double wall ovens, soft close cabinets, and your favorite brew. Maybe today you take your coffee out to the screened-in deck to catch the morning breeze or on your front porch before the city hums to life.

The Afternoon Flow: Need to crush a few emails? The walk-out lower level is your ultimate sanctuary. Whether it’s a spacious home office, a space to have movie nights, or have out of town guests stay (even a potential Airbnb suite that helps pay the mortgage while you work), there is flexibility.

The Evening Wind-Down: Golden hour in Park View is a whole mood. Walk a few blocks to for a fabulous Italian dinner, or grab a bottle from or a pint at , then head home to your private backyard retreat for a BBQ with family and friends. To cap off the night? Head upstairs and take a bubble bath in your iconic clawfoot tub to wind down.

And the best part? You never have to circle the block. Pull straight into your private 2-car parking pad and leave the stress of the city behind. Did we mention it comes with lots of storage?

This 3br 2.5ba rowhouse is not only a charmer, but conveniently close to metro stops, bus routes, shops, groceries, parks, farmer’s market on weekends, the list goes on.

Ready to experience it for yourself? Open House this Sunday 1-3pm. Link in bio for the full gallery and details!

I just found out last Thursday was National Working Moms Day (Who knew this was a thing?!). Well I missed the memo, but while I’m a late to the party, I couldn’t let the opportunity pass without honoring the women who make it look easy (news flash, it’s not!). There is a specific kind of dedication required to show up fully for your clients/work and your family simultaneously.

During Women’s History Month, we often look at the “big” milestones, and I am enamored by all the women in my life, but I wanted to give a special shout-out to the working mothers and their daily resilience. It’s the quiet strength of managing a career while raising the next generation of history-makers.

To the moms who are tired, the moms who are thriving, and the moms who aren’t sure how they are doing, somehow “balancing” the grind with being there for your kids: I see you, I’m amazed by you, and I’m so grateful to be in your ranks!

I hope you take a moment to reflect how much you carry every day and give yourself grace, because it is tough. Here’s to the late nights, the early mornings, and the amazing women who make it all happen somehow 🥂

Last year, I was honored to be featured in NOVA Real Producers magazine. The article, “A Worldly Perspective, A Local Heart,” captured what drives me: my commitment to being loyal, hardworking (or as my son said, “the opposite of lazy!”), and treating every transaction like it’s my own. I honestly think I spaced out during the interview haha

It covered my unique journey, from my French roots to finding my home here in the DMV, and the passion that fuels my work in real estate alongside my father, Al. My “why” is simple: making my family proud, and showing my son that you can succeed through hard work and kindness.

I later attended the magazine party which was so great to hear other people’s inspiring stories. However I wasn’t expecting to speak to the group and unfortunately had to leave early for a meeting... I was overwhelmed. All the emotion behind my “whys”—my family, my clients, and all the highs and low lows that led me here—hit me all at once. I had a wave of gratitude and just lost it… Definitely wasn’t how I wanted it to go 😅

Thank you to the entire team at NOVA Real Producers, the Kristin Brindley Team, and Ryan —for highlighting my story and creating a fun experience! I truly appreciate you getting me out of my comfort level.
