JOEL: Welcome to house number three.

While we're very close to house number two, here we're even more walkable.

Just a few moments stroll to Safeway, to Potomac Avenue Metro, but then we've got the bustling bonus of The Roost food hall.

RICARDO: Joel, I noticed the roof line has this funky little extra window at the top.

What's that about?

JOEL: That's right.

This was effectively for show.

It was to make the house look taller but I think you'll see it functions quite differently now.

JEN: Oh, so maybe some usable space?

JOEL: That's right.

So while the exterior of this house is historic, inside it's all-new, including the design choices.

So enjoy what some folks call a little jewelry.

RICARDO: I'm excited to hear about some bling.

JEN: And we'll meet you right after for the game?

JOEL: Absolutely.

Enjoy and I look forward to it.

JEN: All right.

RICARDO: Awesome.

Can't wait to see this bling.

JEN: I'm excited about this one.

Oh, wow.

We are definitely in present day.

RICARDO: This is a great renovation.

One of the first things I notice is the floating stairs.

They really do keep the space open.

They keep the light flowing through.

JEN: And they look really great next to this modern take on wainscoting here on this accent wall.

RICARDO: And I think this wall over here with the oak paneling is also a nice touch.

Would you like to check out this centrally located kitchen?

JEN: Yes, let's go see this centerpiece.

RICARDO: It's classy.

I love this island.

It's huge.

JEN: Yeah, so the waterfall feature.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

JEN: Really nice.

I love a buffet moment, a mimosa station.

(laughs) RICARDO: Yeah, and you got so much seating on the other side.

JEN: Yeah, I could certainly see sitting around here with friends and these gold accents are really tying it all together for me.

RICARDO: Yeah, this is some bling that I could get used to.

And I love how the light fixtures pick up the gold bling as well.

JEN: Yeah.

And speaking of kind of picking it up, it looks like they're taking the counter all the way up the way up the wall.

Rather than a backsplash, just matching it to the counter.

It seems very seamless and really ties in with the waterfall countertop.

RICARDO: Yeah, it's all thought out as a unified space.

JEN: And then into this dining room.

RICARDO: And this bay window.

What a great view.

JEN: And when I see that light fixture, I feel like we are in the future.

That would not typically be my style, but for some reason I'm absolutely in love with it in here.

But I have to admit, I'm a little distracted by this door over here.

Oh.

RICARDO: Oh, wow.

JEN: Okay, so temperature-controlled wine closet.

RICARDO: Nice.

JEN: That's a first for me.

(laughs) RICARDO: Never seen that.

I love red wine, so I would have a place to keep it all.

JEN: Yeah, I might prefer it to be half the size and maybe have storage here for all of my wine glasses.

And I also really like this little seating area here with the hooks.

I mean, now that I'm peeking out this door, I'm seeing that this probably is gonna be your main entrance, um, because it looks like there's two parking spots back here.

RICARDO: You're kidding.

JEN: No.

RICARDO: Oh, wow.

Look at that.

Now, that's coveted.

JEN: Especially in the district.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

JEN: Really hard to find.

And how nice to have this elevated area in the back and a porch in the front.

RICARDO: That's rare.

JEN: All right, let's keep going.

RICARDO: Okey-doke.

JEN: Oh, wait.

RICARDO: Wait, is this a storage?

JEN: Let's see.

Oh, half bath.

Oh, wow.

RICARDO: I love that wallpaper.

JEN: Oh, with the gold accents on the vanity and the wood paneling.

It's just kind of tying it all together.

RICARDO: Yeah, with the quartz countertop as well.

JEN: Really thoughtful.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

JEN: I really like how the accent wall goes all the way up.

Oh, all right, I'll take this one.

RICARDO: Okay, I'll take this one.

JEN: Okay.

This is the single, but still plenty of room for guests.

RICARDO: Very bright.

Like, nice vertical space.

A double bed in here.

JEN: All right.

Really beautiful marble tile in the shower.

It's paired with another texture tile on the floor.

I like them both.

I'm just not sure I like them together.

RICARDO: I might pick up a brown tile to go in the floor to match with the wall tile 'cause I really do like that wall tile.

JEN: And that would really tie in the floating vanity and the color on the built-ins.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: Beautiful full bath.

RICARDO: Absolutely.

JEN: Let's see what we got going here.

RICARDO: No doubt.

Okay.

JEN: Oh, it's bright over here.

RICARDO: Oh, check out the skylight.

JEN: That is a really thoughtful feature because this could be really dark.

RICARDO: Great surprise.

JEN: What's in here?

Oh.

RICARDO: Oh, this tile work is really, really tasteful.

I like this.

JEN: Yeah, I think this is my favorite tile marriage.

RICARDO: It does give some masculine vibes to me, but I actually really, really like it.

JEN: It's working for me because of the gold accent.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: Even though it has a masculine energy, I'll go ahead and take it.

(laughs) RICARDO: Ah.

JEN: Whoa.

RICARDO: This is a great primary.

JEN: Look at these high ceilings.

RICARDO: And these dormer windows.

Love the natural light.

JEN: And again, the oak paneling from all the other levels.

It really ties it all together.

RICARDO: Yeah, the word of the day is cohesion with this property.

JEN: I feel like we've really traveled through time today in each of these three properties.

RICARDO: I agree and I think it is time to get me a third win.

JEN: Whoa, dude.

Wow, I like your confidence.

Let's go find Joel and see what happens.

RICARDO: Let's do it.

JOEL: Ricardo, Jen, what did you think of house number three?

JEN: We really went through time I think between house number two and house number three and this house feels super modern.

RICARDO: The level of bling in here is definitely at the top.

JEN: 14-karat bling throughout.

RICARDO: The word that kept coming up for me was cohesion.

JEN: Mm-hmm.

RICARDO: It just feels like from every floor there are elements that really tie it together.

JOEL: And how about that dormer window that we talked about?

RICARDO: That was beautiful and you had the whole wall of windows with so much light.

It was so great.

JEN: It was nice to finally see those windows serve a function and not just be for look.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JOEL: Here we have four bedrooms, three and a half baths, 2,235 finished square feet.

Constructed in 1924 and renovated 2024.

JEN: My redemption guess for property number three is 1,275,000.

JOEL: Okay.

And you, Ricardo?

RICARDO: I am going to guess 1,325,000.

JOEL: And the correct list price is 1,334,900, making Ricardo a three-time winner.

RICARDO: What?

JEN: No.

JOEL: Sorry, Jen.

JEN: Shut out.

RICARDO: I cannot believe it.

JOEL: He's good at this.

RICARDO: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, Joel.

JOEL: Thanks for sharing my neighborhood for a day and now I would love for us to meet some neighbors at Trusty's Tavern.

Let's take a stroll.

JEN: All right.

RICARDO: All right.

I could use a hero's drink.

JOEL: Ooh, sounds like Ricardo's buying.

(laughter)
